Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea from a dental perspective.

Proper diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related disorders are best handled via a team approach. This team may include a general dentist treating in conjunction with other sleep specialists. However, to provide care, dentists must have a basic understanding of sleep disorders. This paper provides a dental overview of sleep-related breathing disorders, including key definitions, an outline of a diagnostic protocol, a discussion of the factors involved in decision-making, and a summary of the wide variety of treatment modalities.

Medical and nondental treatments of snoring and sleep apnea syndrome.

The prevalence, pathophysiology, and clinical and polysomnographic evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea are reviewed. The history of the development of nasal continuous positive airway pressure, diagnostic titration of the treatment, abolition of nocturnal apneas, and consolidation of sleep architecture by nasal continuous positive airway pressure and long-term patient compliance with the treatment are discussed. The effects of weight gain and weight loss on the severity of obstructive sleep apnea, and cardiovascular and behavioral complications of obstructive sleep apnea are reviewed. Behavioral treatments are discussed.

Comparisons of oral devices for snoring.

A study was performed on 19 types of oral appliances for snoring/obstructive sleep apnea. The appliances were categorized into two groups, mandibular advancers and tongue advancers. A set of limited criteria was developed by which an appliance could be evaluated, and the criteria were weighted. Evaluations were then performed on the appliances, and they were rated according to satisfaction of criteria. The rating table should help a dentist in selecting an appliance that will be accepted by the patient and effective in treating snoring/obstructive sleep apnea.

Pulmonary artery pressure in sleep apnoea and snoring.

There is a renewed interest in pulmonary hypertension (PH) complicating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The prevalence of PH in populations of patients with less severe OSA was documented to be around 10%. The most recent data from both catheterization and echocardiographic studies indicate that as many as 40% of patients with OSA have PH. It has been shown that non-obese patients with normal respiratory function tests can develop pulmonary hypertension. One of the other possible mechanisms involved may be the presence of heightened pulmonary artery pressure response to hypoxia. There are now data available to indicate that treatment with nasal CPAP can decrease or even normalize pulmonary artery pressure in patients with sleep apnoea.
