Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) affects sleep and daytime behavior, prompting patient inquiries. For patients with jaw abnormalities causing narrow airways, orthognathic surgery is a viable treatment option.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Sleep Medicine
- Surgical Orthodontics
Background:
- Growing patient awareness links sleep disturbances and daytime behaviors to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS).
- Patients increasingly seek information and treatment for potential OSAS.
Purpose of the Study:
- To equip dentists with knowledge to identify potential OSAS patients.
- To aid dentists in guiding patients toward informed treatment decisions for OSAS.
Main Methods:
- Review of clinical presentations and diagnostic indicators of OSAS relevant to dental practice.
- Analysis of treatment modalities for OSAS, focusing on surgical interventions.
Main Results:
- Dentists can play a key role in early OSAS identification.
- Orthognathic surgery is highlighted as an effective treatment for OSAS in specific patient groups.
Conclusions:
- Dentists are well-positioned to identify patients with OSAS.
- Orthognathic surgery offers a promising therapeutic avenue for OSAS patients with maxillomandibular abnormalities and narrow pharyngeal airways.
