Abstract

Objectives: To determine the anatomical characteristics in patients diagnosed with mild, moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea. Subject  and  methods: We performed a retrospective study that analyzed the cephalometric data of patients who were diagnosed Obstructive sleep apnea in the  Phoi Viet Clinic and  indicated to take cephalometric at  Faculty of Odonto-Stomatology, Medicine and Pharmacy HCMC University, from October  2019 to February 2020. Results: Fifteen  patients were included, 11 men, and 4 women, with a mean age of 49 years, 60% of patients with obesity. Patients were divided into three groups according to AHI demonstrated by polysomnography: mild OSAS (group 1), moderate OSAS (group 2) and severe OSAS (group 3). The number of each group was 5. SNB (represents the relative anterioposterior position of the mandible to the cranial base), SPS (superior pharyngeal space), H-MP (hyoid bone to mandibular plane distance) were three values which have correlated with apnea-hypopnea sleep index. Conclusions: The cephalometric variables are useful tools for understanding and diagnosing OSAS.
