The prematurely born and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) could affect craniofacial and airway growth. The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in craniofacial and airway morphology between preterm and full-term children both with OSA problem.
This article explains the high comorbidity of craniofacial pain with obstructive sleep breathing disorders and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Objective: To determine prevalence of comorbid undiagnosed sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in chronic insomnia patients, using two complementary methods, one standard and one novel.
Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is a term used to describe a spectrum of breathing disorders during sleep. It includes, but is not limited to, habitual snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and sleep-related hypoventilation [1]. This review will mostly focus on primary snoring and pediatric obstructive sleep apnea.
In the previous three-part series of articles “The Future of Dentistry” (March, August and 100th anniversary issue 2011), I discussed the relationships between Obstructed Sleep Apnea (OSA), chronic pain, headaches,
TMD and bruxism.
