Avaliação da síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono e do bruxismo em uma amostra com diferentes padrões faciais

Abstract

Sleep disturbances consist of difficulties related to sleep. Such disorders can be treated in an interdisciplinary way, and the dentist is qualified to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of snoring, apnea and bruxism. The objective of this study was to evaluate the craniofacial morphology influencing the quality of sleep and sleep disorders, as well as to determine the incidence of positive questionnaire and risk factors of the patients attended at the Outpatient Clinic of Triage and Surgery II of the Hospital Universitário de Aracaju. For this, questionnaires were applied to evaluate sleep quality and a physical and oral examination was performed. The diagnosis of Facial Type was established through an Anders Retzius facial index, which takes into account the ratio between face width and face length. For the establishment of the diagnosis of the Facial Profile, the analysis of the imaginary vertical line joining the glabella, subnasal and gnathi points was considered. The face was evaluated by observing the proportions between its thirds. The Angle Classification was the diagnostic method adopted to evaluate the occlusion. The facial morphological design was shown to be an associated factor in a possible occurrence of OSAS, where Dolichofacial and Straight Profile individuals had a greater association. Facial Morphological Pattern, Cervical Circumference equal to or above the limit and BMI are factors that influenced a possible OSAS for both genders and hypertension for the male gender.
