Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common form of chronic sleep disorder characterized by numerous recurring episodes of partial or complete upper airway obstruction. With this condition comes significant economic and medical consequences. Imaging technology commonly used in dentistry can be employed for initial or definitive diagnosis of OSA. This article will highlight the anatomic and pathologic differences seen in 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional radiographs obtained by the dental team.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
-
Describe the etiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
-
Identify the anatomic landmarks whose narrowing is important in diagnosis of OSA
-
List the craniofacial skeletal abnormalities at higher risk of developing OSA
-
Explain differences between cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), CT, and cephalometric imaging in diagnosis of OSA
