Dentomaxillary anomalies are alterations in the spatial relationships between teeth teeth and their maxillary bone bases
that in most cases “result from a relative discrepancy between the size of the teeth and the bones, regarding the analysis
of the discrepancies, we can find that the teeth could be associated with the appearance of diastemas (in case the
discrepancy is positive), crowding (when the discrepancy has a negative value) or a discrepancy in tooth size, called a
discrepancy of Bolton. This review emphasizes the importance of including these measurements in the diagnosis in
order to avoid a result with a poor predictable future.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea / Hypoapnea Syndrome (OSAHS)
has been described as a respiratory sleep disorder,
characterized by partial or total obstruction of the upper
airway, which distorts normal ventilation during sleep and
1 normal sleep patterns .Its most frequent etiology in children
2,3,4
is adenotonsillary hypertrophy , but other causes
associated with syndromes and dentomaxillary anomalies
are also recognized,such as maxillary compression.
