“…Behaviour modification is to train the patient to alter the sleep position to a lateral position instead of supine position by using a pillow, advising patients to abstain from alcohol and to control on a diet. Encourage them to do regular exercise and monitor the body weight and motivate the patients to reduce if they are overweight [16], [17], [18], [19]. Some studies suggested the use of mild sedative 3hours before sleep which are helpful to promote sound sleep, other medication advised for OSA are antibiotics, topical intranasal application of corticosteroid, leukotriene receptor antagonist and anti-inflammatory therapy to a mild to moderate case and during maintenance therapy after surgery [18], [19].…”

AIM:To assess and compare the knowledge of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among final years dental students, interns, dental practitioners and faculty working in and around Riyadh.METHODS:A questionnaire-based study comprising of 16 questions was conducted among final year dental clinical students, interns, dental practitioners and faculty working in and around Riyadh. Statistical Package for Social Sciences software (SPSS version 21) was used to analyse the statistical data. The p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.RESULTS:A total of 450 respondents took part in the study. When gender comparison was done regarding the awareness of OSA, statistically significant differences were noted for the majority of questions. The response rate for the knowledge-based questions varied statistically concerning their speciality and educational qualifications. 65% of the participants admitted that they were unaware of the diagnostic tests performed for diagnosing these patients. It was noted that 85% of the participants wanted to attend a CDE program to know more about OSA.CONCLUSION:The study concludes that there is a significant lack of knowledge among final year students, interns and general dentists. This study emphasises the need for all dental professionals to regularly update their knowledge and equip themselves to identify and treat such patients at an early stage.

“…Among the various investigations used to diagnose OSA, polysomnography (PSG) is considered as the most reliable method of detecting the frequency of apneic and hypopneic events during sleep. 11 Under standardized conditions, PSG determines sleep time, stages of sleep, respiratory effort and airflow, cardiac rhythm, pulse oximetry for blood oxygen saturation, and abdominal, thoracic and limb movements through multichannel recordings. 4 In addition, overnight pulse oximetry assessment has also been reported recently as a diagnostic aid equivalent to that of PSG, and with sensitivity as high as 98%.…”

Objectives:To evaluate characteristics of dental occlusion among non-obese Saudi adult patients suffering from moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea(OSA).Methods:Following ethical approval, a cross-sectional study was conducted at Sleep Disorders Center, King Khalid University Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, between January and March 2017. Non-obese adult Saudi patients with moderate/severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index>15) and without history of malocclusion or edentulism were included with an estimated sample size of 50. Demographic details and severity of OSA as diagnosed by polysomnography were recorded. Characteristics of dental occlusion, namely molar, canine and incisor relationship, overjet, overbite, crossbite and arch form were obtained through calibrated examiners (kappa 0.81). Descriptive statistical analysis and Chi-square test, with 95% significance level (p<0.05), were used to identify relationships between the severity of OSA and characteristics of dental occlusion.Results:A total of 51 patients (31 males, 20 females; mean age 49.45±10.35 years), were enrolled in the study. Severity of OSA was moderate in 17 patients and severe in 34 patients. Severe form of OSA was more among males (64.7%) and in patients with Class-II division-1 incisor relationship (94.1%). Neither the demographic characteristics, nor characteristics of dental occlusion showed statistically significant relationship with the severity of OSA.Conclusion:The results of the present cross-sectional study indicate that the characteristics of dental occlusion are not related to the severity of OSA among non-obese adult Saudi patients.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Management: An Overview of the Literature

Abstract: Studies showed an enhancement in the quality of life in many patients who have been treated with oral appliances, and patients in general prefer oral appliances over CPAP therapy or any other treatments for OSA because of its convenience.
