Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Dimensions of The Maxillary Dental Arch and Hard Palate in Children With Class II and Large Overjet-A Case-Control Study.

J Oral Rehabil

December 2024

Section of Orthodontics and Dental Sleep Clinic, Department of Odontology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on comparing maxillary dental arch and hard palate dimensions in children with Class II occlusion, characterized by a large overjet, versus a control group with neutral occlusion to evaluate possible links to sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
  • - Results showed that children in the Class II group had significantly smaller maxillary arch dimensions compared to controls, but there were no significant differences in hard palate dimensions or SDB incidents between the groups, though the snore index was slightly higher in the Class II group.
  • - The findings suggest that while reduced maxillary dimensions correlate with Class II occlusion, they do not have a direct connection to SDB, indicating that intraoral scans could be beneficial for early risk assessment of

Association Between Sleep Position, Obesity, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity.

J Pers Med

November 2024

Department of Prosthodontics, Gerodontolgy and Biomaterials, University Medicine Greifswald, 17489 Greifswald, Germany.

Background: This study examines the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea severity, sleep position, and body weight, particularly focusing on the negative impact of sleeping in a supine position combined with being overweight in a population-based sample.

Methods: The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) was utilized as a marker of OSA severity and sleep position from a standardized overnight polysomnography. Participants were categorized by body mass index (BMI) (kg/m) into normal weight/underweight (<25) and overweight (≥25).

Risk of Narrow Upper Airway in Class II Children with Large Horizontal Maxillary Overjet Assessed By Acoustic Reflection: a Case-Control Study.

J Oral Maxillofac Res

September 2024

Section of Orthodontics and Dental Sleep Clinic, Department of Odontology, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, CopenhagenDenmark.

Objectives: The aim of this case-control study was to examine upper airway by acoustic reflection in class II children with large horizontal maxillary overjet compared to children with neutral occlusion.

Material And Methods: The study group included children of 9 to 14 years with class II and large horizontal maxillary overjet (≥ 6 mm) compared to children with neutral occlusion (controls). Acoustic pharyngometry and rhinometry were performed in natural head position.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB) is the consequence of an anatomical and/or functional reduction in upper airway size during sleep. Young patients can also be affected. TROS type 1 (TROS1 ) is most often found in young, non-obese children with no associated comorbidities, presenting with an otorhinolaryngological (ENT) obstacle, generally an enlargement of lymphoid tissue (tonsils and/or adenoids).

Craniofacial anatomical determinants of pediatric sleep-disordered breathing: A comprehensive review.

J Prosthodont

November 2024

Sleep Medicine Division, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, School of Medicine, Redwood City, California, USA.

Purpose: This narrative review aims to elucidate the anatomical features of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in children. By identifying key structures and intervening proactively, we seek to alter craniofacial growth patterns and improve functional outcomes for SDB children.

Methods: The literature on pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (PSDB), pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), anatomical predispositions, and the relationship between skeletal deformity and PSDB was examined using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, covering studies from 2006 to 2024.
