[PMID: 39036631 PMCID: PMC11257894 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2024.1393272] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is a respiratory sleep disorder that affects 1-5% of children. It occurs equally in males and females, with higher incidence in school age and adolescence. OSAS may be caused by several factors, but in children, adenotonsillar hypertrophy, obesity, and maxillo-mandibular deficits are the most common. In general, there is a reduction in the diameter of the airway with reduced airflow. This condition worsens during sleep due to the muscular hypotonia, resulting in apnoeas or hypoventilation. While snoring is the primary symptom, OSAS-related manifestations have a wide spectrum. Some of these symptoms relate to the nocturnal phase, including disturbed sleep, frequent changes of position, apnoeas and oral respiration. Other symptoms concern the daytime hours, such as drowsiness, irritability, inattention, difficulties with learning and memorisation, and poor school performance, especially in patient suffering from overlapping syndromes (e.g., Down syndrome). In some cases, the child's general growth may also be affected. Early diagnosis of this condition is crucial in limiting associated symptoms that can significantly impact a paediatric patient's quality of life, with the potential for the condition to persist into adulthood. Diagnosis involves evaluating several aspects, beginning with a comprehensive anamnesis that includes specific questionnaires, followed by an objective examination. This is followed by instrumental diagnosis, for which polysomnography is considered the gold standard, assessing several parameters, including the apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) and oxygen saturation. However, it is not the sole tool for assessing the characteristics of this condition. Other possibilities, such as night-time video recording, nocturnal oximetry, can be chosen when polysomnography is not available and even tested at home, even though with a lower diagnostic accuracy. The treatment of OSAS varies depending on the cause. In children, the most frequent therapies are adenotonsillectomy or orthodontic therapies, specifically maxillary expansion.

Oral Health Implications of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Literature Review. Biomedicines 2024; 12:1382. [PMID: 39061956 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines12071382] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by repeated episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep. While the systemic implications of OSA are well documented, the dental consequences are less frequently discussed yet equally significant. This review aims to elucidate the oral health impacts of OSA, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary care. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted across several databases to identify studies examining the relationship between OSA and various oral health parameters. The review included observational studies, clinical trials, and systematic reviews published in English up to January 2024. RESULTS OSA was significantly associated with heightened risks of bruxism, dry mouth, periodontal disease, temporomandibular joint disorders, palatal and dental changes, and alterations in taste sensation. Mouth breathing associated with OSA was a critical factor in exacerbating xerostomia and dental caries. Furthermore, the systemic inflammation induced by OSA appeared to correlate with the severity of periodontal disease. Patients using oral appliance therapy for OSA also showed notable changes in dental occlusion and required ongoing dental monitoring. CONCLUSIONS The findings underscore the bidirectional relationship between OSA and oral health, highlighting the need for dental professionals to be integral participants in the management of OSA. Early dental evaluation and intervention can contribute to the overall health and quality of life of individuals with OSA. The review advocates for the development of clinical guidelines to facilitate the early identification and management of OSA-related oral health issues within dental practice and encourages a collaborative approach to patient care.

Medium-term effects of rapid maxillary expansion on nasal cavity and pharyngeal airway volumes considering age as a factor: A retrospective study. J Dent 2024; 144:104934. [PMID: 38461886 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.104934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The medium-term effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nasal cavity (NC) and upper airway (UA) dimensions based on chronological age are still unclear. This retrospective study evaluated the medium-term changes occurring in the NC and pharyngeal airways (PA) after RME in two distinct age-based cohorts of patients. METHODS This retrospective study included 48 subjects who underwent RME grouped in two cohorts: a 6-9-year-old group (EEG group: early expansion group - 25 subjects) and an 11-14-year-old group (LEG group: late expansion group - 23 subjects). NC and PA volumes were analyzed from CBCT imaging segmentation before RME (T0) and twelve months after RME (T1). The amount of maxillary expansion (PW) and minimal cross-sectional area (CSmin) were also considered. RESULTS All PAs' volumetric sub-regions, CSmin and PW showed a significant volumetric increment (p < 0.05). Inter-group comparisons showed significant differences (p < 0.05) for nasopharynx and CSmin parameters (p < 0.05), while no significant changes were recorded for the other UA's sub-regions and PW (p > 0.05). According to a deviation analysis, part of the UA increase (more marked for the nasopharynx area) may have occurred due to reduced adenotonsillar tissues, which were larger in the EEG group. CONCLUSIONS Twelve months after treatment, clinicians should not expect changes in the UAs dimensions to be solely related to treatment effects of RME; instead, normal craniofacial growth changes and spontaneous regression of the adenotonsillar tissue could represent the most significant factors influencing UAs changes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE From the clinical perspective, the results of the present study encourage caution when considering the therapeutic effects of RME on airways dimensions.

Spontaneous Mandibular Dentoalveolar Changes after Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME), Slow Maxillary Expansion (SME), and Leaf Expander-A Systematic Review. CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 11:501. [PMID: 38671718 PMCID: PMC11049362 DOI: 10.3390/children11040501] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review aims to analyze the spontaneous dentoalveolar changes in the mandibular arch after maxillary expansion in growing patients obtained with different expansion protocols: Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME), Slow Maxillary Expansion (SME), and Leaf Expander. METHODS The study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligibility criteria were established in the PICO format, involving patients who underwent slow, rapid, or leaf maxillary expansion during the mixed or early permanent dentitions. A comprehensive search of electronic databases and manual searches was conducted up to December 2023. The outcome measures included inter-mandibular first permanent molar width, inter-deciduous molar and canine width, arch perimeter, and arch length; both short- and long-term results were considered. The articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in this systematic review and were qualitatively evaluated using a methodological quality scoring system with a 13-point scale. To assess the inter-examiner agreement concerning the article selection and the qualitative assessment of the included studies, Kappa statistics were computed. RESULTS A total of 1184 articles were identified through electronic and manual searches. After the removal of duplicates and the initial examination of the titles and abstracts, 57 articles were considered for the full text analysis, and according to the eligibility and exclusion criteria, 22 studies were finally selected, composed of 8 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 14 retrospective/case-control studies. The qualitative assessment of the included studies showed the following scores: 6 papers have high research quality, 5 have moderate quality, and 11 have low quality. SME demonstrated negligible mandibular changes, with less than 1 mm variation on average (range 0.46-2.00 mm) in the selected parameters and relapses observed in the long term. RME induced more significant increases, particularly in intermolar width greater than 1 mm, which ranged between 0.93 and 3.3 mm, and good stability over the long term. Leaf Expander exhibited promising short-term lower intermolar width increases greater than 1 mm and ranged from 0.5 to 1.69 mm, but long-term stability was not thoroughly evaluated. CONCLUSIONS SME results in negligible short- and long-term effects, while RME, especially with Haas-type appliances, exhibits significant intermolar width increases that remain stable over the years. Leaf Expander shows short-term lower intermolar width increases, requiring further investigation into long-term stability.

Indications for Dental Specialists for Treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Mandibular Advancement Devices: A Narrative Review. Int J Dent 2024; 2024:1007237. [PMID: 38585252 PMCID: PMC10999292 DOI: 10.1155/2024/1007237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 03/20/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is characterized by repeated airway collapse during sleep. It determines cardiovascular, pulmonary, and neurocognitive consequences and is associated with several daytime and nighttime symptoms that influence the patient's quality of life. The contribution of the dental specialist in the clinical management of OSA patients entails participating in the screening process as diagnostic sentinels and providing adequate treatment using mandibular advancement devices (MADs). Since the treatment of OSA requires a multidisciplinary approach, including different medical specialists, dentists should have a comprehensive understanding of medical and dental factors that influence the strategy and effectiveness of OSA treatment with MAD. Such expertise is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment indications and helps clinicians establish a consolidated position within the multidisciplinary OSA team. In this regard, this review summarizes the evidence of the clinical indications for MAD treatment and provides the dental specialist with helpful information about medical, functional, and other relevant factors that should be considered during diagnosis, treatment plan, and follow-up stages. Information retrieved was organized and discussed, generating specific domains/queries oriented to the clinical management of OSA patients from the clinical perspective of dental specialists.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To correlate skeletal and airway measures on imaging with polysomnographic and self-reported measures after distraction osteogenesis maxillary expansion (DOME), in the effort to identify clinically relevant sites of expansion to guide treatment for adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective study reviewing subjects who underwent DOME and had the complete set of the following data: peri-treatment cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, polysomnography (PSG), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and nasal obstruction symptom (NOSE) scores. RESULTS Of 132 subjects who underwent DOME, 35 met inclusion criteria (71% men, mean age 27.7 ± 6.5 years, mean BMI 26.0 ± 6.4 kg/m2) and were enrolled in the study. There was a significant reduction in the NOSE score from 11.4 ± 5.5 to 3.6 ± 3.1, in the ESS score from 12.0 ± 4.6 to 7.1 ± 4.7, and in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) from 17.1 ± 15.8 to 7.01 ± 6.2 (p < 0.0001), after DOME. Nasal floor width at the nasopalatine canal level showed a statistically significant correlation with AHI reduction (p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS DOME is significantly associated with reduction of nasal obstruction, sleepiness, and severity of OSA. The findings suggest that expansion at the anterior third of the bony nasal passage, specifically where the nasopalatine canal is located predicts its clinical efficacy. This site may be a useful target anatomically via imaging.

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2023; 169:412-421. [PMID: 36939430 DOI: 10.1002/ohn.258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between craniofacial skeletal anatomy and objective measures of pharyngeal collapse obtained during drug-induced sleep endoscopy. We hypothesized that transverse maxillary deficiency and an increased pharyngeal length will be associated with higher levels of pharyngeal collapsibility. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis in a prospective cohort. SETTING University Hospital. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis was conducted in a cohort of consecutive patients from the positive airway pressure (PAP) alternatives clinic who underwent computed tomography (CT) analysis and drug-induced sleep endoscopy for characterization of upper airway collapsibility. PAP titration was used to determine pharyngeal critical pressure (PCRIT ) and pharyngeal opening pressure (PhOP). CT metrics included: Transverse maxillary dimensions (interpremolar and intermolar distances) and pharyngeal length (posterior nasal spine to hyoid distance). RESULTS The cohort (n = 103) of severe obstructive sleep apnea (Apnea and Hipopnea Index 32.1 ± 21.3 events/h) was predominantly male (71.8%), Caucasian (81.6%), middle-aged (54.4 ± 14.3 years), and obese (body mass index [BMI] = 30.0 ± 4.9 kg/m2 ). Reduced transverse maxillary dimensions were associated with higher PCRIT (intermolar distance: β [95% confidence interval, CI] = -.25 [-0.14, -0.36] cmH2 O/mm; p = .03) and PhOP (Interpremolar distance: β = -.25 [-0.14, -0.36] cmH2 O/mm; p = .02). Longer pharyngeal length was also associated with higher PCRIT (β = .11 [0.08, 0.14] cmH2 O/mm, p = .04) and PhOP (β [95% CI] = .06 [0.03, 0.09] cmH2 O/mm, p = .04). These associations persisted after adjustments for sex, age, height, and BMI. CONCLUSION Our results further the concept that skeletal restriction in the transverse dimension and hyoid descent are associated with elevations in pharyngeal collapsibility during sleep, suggesting a role of transverse deficiency in the pathogenesis of airway obstruction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation and interpretation of the literature on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) allows for consolidation and determination of the key factors important for clinical management of the adult OSA patient. Toward this goal, an international collaborative of multidisciplinary experts in sleep apnea evaluation and treatment have produced the International Consensus statement on Obstructive Sleep Apnea (ICS:OSA). METHODS Using previously defined methodology, focal topics in OSA were assigned as literature review (LR), evidence-based review (EBR), or evidence-based review with recommendations (EBR-R) formats. Each topic incorporated the available and relevant evidence which was summarized and graded on study quality. Each topic and section underwent iterative review and the ICS:OSA was created and reviewed by all authors for consensus. RESULTS The ICS:OSA addresses OSA syndrome definitions, pathophysiology, epidemiology, risk factors for disease, screening methods, diagnostic testing types, multiple treatment modalities, and effects of OSA treatment on multiple OSA-associated comorbidities. Specific focus on outcomes with positive airway pressure (PAP) and surgical treatments were evaluated. CONCLUSION This review of the literature consolidates the available knowledge and identifies the limitations of the current evidence on OSA. This effort aims to create a resource for OSA evidence-based practice and identify future research needs. Knowledge gaps and research opportunities include improving the metrics of OSA disease, determining the optimal OSA screening paradigms, developing strategies for PAP adherence and longitudinal care, enhancing selection of PAP alternatives and surgery, understanding health risk outcomes, and translating evidence into individualized approaches to therapy.

Effects of Rapid Maxillary Expander and Delaire Mask Treatment on Airway Sagittal Dimensions in Pediatric Patients Affected by Class III Malocclusion and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:life13030673. [PMID: 36983829 PMCID: PMC10056418 DOI: 10.3390/life13030673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a sleep-related breathing disorder that is very common in pediatric patients. In the literature, there are very few studies concerning the association between OSAS and class III malocclusion in children. The use of a rapid maxillary expander (RME) in association with the Delaire mask is a common treatment protocol for class III malocclusion. The aim of this work was to evaluate the cephalometric variations of upper airway dimensions and OSA-related clinical conditions after orthodontic treatment with an RME and the Delaire mask, as recorded in pediatric patients with a class III malocclusion who were affected by OSAS. In this preliminary study, 14 pediatric patients with mixed dentition, aged between 6 and 10 years, were selected. All patients were treated with an RME and the Delaire mask. Pre- and post-treatment cephalometric radiographs were traced, analyzed, and compared. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the upper airway linear measurements and the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal dimensions (p ≤ 0.05). This increase creates an improvement in airway patency and in OSAS-related clinical conditions. The use of the RME in association with the Delaire mask can be effective in the treatment of pediatric patients with a class III malocclusion who are affected by OSAS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare polysomnographic parameters with others from the literature in order to provide more accurate information about Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children, through raising the question: Is RME a good option for treating OSA in children? Prevention of mouth breathing during children's growth remains a challenge with significant clinical consequences. In addition, OSA induces anatomofunctional changes during the critical period of craniofacial growth and development. METHODS The Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Science, SciELO and Scopus electronic databases were searched up to February 2021 for systematic reviews with meta-analysis in the English language. Among 40 studies on RME for treating OSA in children, we selected seven in which polysomnographic measurements of the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) had been made. Data were extracted and examined in order to clarify whether any consistent evidence exists for indicating RME as a treatment for OSA in children. RESULTS We found no consistent evidence favoring RME for long-term treatment of OSA in children. All the studies presented considerable heterogeneity due to variability of age and length of follow-up. CONCLUSION Through this umbrella review, the need for methodologically better studies on RME is supported. Moreover, it can be considered that RME is not recommended for treating OSA in children. Further studies and more evidence identifying early signs of OSA are necessary in order to achieve consistent healthcare practice.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (oSDB) comprises a set of breathing disturbances when the individual is asleep due to partial or complete upper airway obstruction. Modifying or risk factors are the anatomy, the size and shape of the airway, muscle tone, central nervous system responses to hypoxia, etc. In children, this is associated with poor school performance and reduced memory and learning abilities. In addition, increased levels of blood and lung pressure and cardiac alterations have been reported in children with sleep disturbances. On the other hand, Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is defined as the presence of one or more decayed primary teeth (cavities) of children under the age of 5. This study aimed to establish the possible relationship between sleep disorders and ECC by means of validated surveys and determined whether the results obtained coincide with the available literature. Our results found that up to 24.5% of children with a high risk of caries present regular nasal congestion, while this finding is only present among 6% of children with a low risk of caries (p = 0.041). The dmft index remains significantly linked to this occasional congestion, but the association depends on the patient's level of risk (p = 0.008); increasing with a high increasing risk of caries. As a conclusion, the risk of early childhood caries could correlate to a specific sleep change such as occasional snoring.

Abstract
This review aims to provide current knowledge about the efficacy, mechanism, and multidisciplinary collaboration of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a chronic disease characterized by progressively increasing upper airway resistance, with various symptoms and signs. Increasingly the evidence indicates that RME is a non-invasive and effective therapy option for children with OSA. Besides, the therapeutic mechanism of RME includes increasing upper airway volume, reducing nasal resistance, and changing tongue posture. Recent clinical researches and case reports also show that a multidisciplinary approach improves sleep-disordered breathing in children. Applied with adenotonsillectomy, mandibular advancement, continuous positive airway pressure, and comprehensive orthodontic treatment, RME can be more effective in recurrent or residual OSA.

Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children needs a multidisciplinary approach. Even if the first-line treatment of pediatric OSA is adenotonsillectomy, nowadays rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is considered a valid additional treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate cephalometric changes in upper airways dimensions after rapid palatal expansion (RPE) in children suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). A total of 37 children (range age 4-10 years) with diagnosis of OSA referred to Dentistry Unit of Bambino Gesù Children's Research Hospital IRCCS (Rome, Italy) were included in this pre-post study and underwent lateral radiographs at the start (T0) and at the end (T1) of a RPE treatment. Inclusion criteria were: diagnosis of OSA confirmed by cardiorespiratory polygraphy (AHI > 1) or pulse oximetry (McGill = >2), skeletal maxillary contraction evaluated by presence of posterior crossbite. A control group of 39 untreated patients (range age 4-11 years), in good general health, was set up. A paired T-test was used to investigate the statistical differences between T0 and T1 values in both groups. The results showed a statistically significant increase of nasopharyngeal width in the treated group after RPE treatment. Moreover, the angle that identifies mandibular divergence compared to palatal plane (PP-MP°) was significantly reduced. In the control group, no statistically significant differences were observed. The present study showed that RPE treatment determines a significant sagittal space increase in the upper airways space and a counterclockwise mandibular growth in children with OSA compared to a control group. These results suggest that a widening of the nasal cavities induced by RPE may support a return to physiological nasal breathing and promote a counterclockwise mandibular growth in children. This evidence confirms the crucial role of the orthodontist in the management of OSA in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Introduction The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of maxillary expansion on adults with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).Methods Electronic searches up to July 2021 in eight electronic databases were conducted. Study selection, data extraction, risk of bias evaluation using ROBINS-I, quality of evidence assessment using GRADE and meta-analyses were performed.Results The electronic searches yielded 1,007 studies. Following the application of the eligibility criteria, 15 articles were fully read and five studies were included. The studies evaluated the effects of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion in adults with OSA. The meta-analysis demonstrated an improvement in Apnoea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) (MD = -9.91, CI = -14.57 to -5.25), Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI) (MD = -7.95, CI = -12.23 to -3.67), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (MD = -4.40, CI = -6.39 to -2.40). ROBINS-I indicated serious, no information and critical risk of bias for the included studies. The quality of the evidence was very low.Conclusion The findings herein suggest that maxillary expansion could improve OSA in adults in the short term.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of the rapid palatal expander (RPE) on the hyoid bone and tongue position in skeletal Class I patients, compared to control groups. METHODS Eighty-four Class I subjects, aged 6-14, were selected. Among these, 28 patients were treated with RPE, 28 with function-generating bite (FGB) appliance, and 28 were untreated. Lateral cephalograms taken before (T0) and after (T1) treatment were retrieved. Changes in the hyoid bone and tongue position were evaluated, and the area above the tongue was measured. RESULTS No significant difference in the hyoid and tongue posture was observed across the groups. However, there were significant differences for HC3 (distance from H-point to the third cervical vertebrae), H2H (distance from H-point to SN plane), and TT-Eb (tongue length) between T0 and T1 in all groups. CONCLUSION The results suggest that hyoid bone and tongue position changes were related to growth rather than treatment.

Abstract
The significant contribution of dental professionals to the management of selected adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cases is understood. Among children, it has also been suggested that dental professionals may also help screen and manage this morbidity in selected cases. It has also been noted that our understanding of pediatric OSA lags significantly behind adult OSA. During the screening process for potential pediatric OSA cases, dental professionals may be quite helpful as specific craniofacial abnormalities have been previously associated with pediatric OSA, including Class II malocclusion, vertical facial growth and maxillary transversal deficiency. As dental professionals assess children more frequently than physicians, they can help screen sleep-disordered breathing signs and symptoms using validated questionnaires. In more advanced cases, orthodontists may be leading contributors to the management of selected cases where a craniofacial involvement is suspected. Rapid maxillary expansion and mandibular or maxillary anterior repositioning devices have been proposed as managing alternatives. So far, there is no substantial evidence if these approaches can be adopted to treat OSA fully or if the reported OSA signs and symptoms improvements observed in a selected group of patients are stable long-term. Nevertheless, dentists and orthodontists' integration into a transdisciplinary team should be encouraged to play a significant role. This review discusses dentists or orthodontists' potential contribution to screen and manage selective pediatric OSA patients as part of a transdisciplinary team.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinical disorder within the spectrum of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRDB) which is used to describe abnormal breathing during sleep resulting in gas exchange abnormalities and/or sleep disruption. OSA is a highly prevalent disorder with associated sequelae across multiple physical domains, overlapping with other chronic diseases, affecting development in children as well as increased health care utilization. More precise and personalized approaches are required to treat the complex constellation of symptoms with its associated comorbidities since not all children are cured by surgery (removal of the adenoids and tonsils). Given that dentists manage the teeth throughout the lifespan and have an important understanding of the anatomy and physiology involved with the airway from a dental perspective, it seems reasonable that better understanding and management from their field will give the opportunity to provide better integrated and optimized outcomes for children affected by OSA. With the emergence of therapies such as mandibular advancement devices and maxillary expansion, etc., dentists can be involved in providing care for OSA along with sleep medicine doctors. Furthermore, the evolving role of myofunctional therapy may also be indicated as adjunctive therapy in the management of children with OSA. The objective of this article is to discuss the important role of dentists and the collaborative approach between dentists, allied dental professionals such as myofunctional therapists, and sleep medicine specialists for identifying and managing children with OSA. Prevention and anticipatory guidance will also be addressed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this systematic review was to answer the focus question: "Could the gray values (GVs) from CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) be converted to Hounsfield units (HUs) in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT)?" METHODS The included studies try to answer the research question according to the PICO strategy. Studies were gathered by searching several electronic databases and partial grey literature up to January 2021 without language or time restrictions. The methodological assessment of the studies was performed using The Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) for in vitro studies and the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2) for in vivo studies. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE system) instrument was applied to assess the level of evidence across the studies. RESULTS 2710 articles were obtained in Phase 1, and 623 citations remained after removing duplicates. Only three studies were included in this review using a two-phase selection process and after applying the eligibility criteria. All studies were methodologically acceptable, although in general terms with low risks of bias. There are some included studies with quite low and limited evidence estimations and recommendation forces; evidencing the need for clinical studies with diagnostic capacity to support its use. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review demonstrated that the GVs from CBCT cannot be converted to HUs due to the lack of clinical studies with diagnostic capacity to support its use. However, it is evidenced that three conversion steps (equipment calibration, prediction equation models, and a standard formula (converting GVs to HUs)) are needed to obtain pseudo Hounsfield values instead of only obtaining them from a regression or directly from the software.

Saudi Dent J 2021; 33:424-433. [PMID: 34803282 PMCID: PMC8589585 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2021.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2020] [Revised: 02/02/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The objective of this article is to review the role of the dentist in the early diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and to provide an in-depth review of the best evidence-based practices available to treat and/or to refer these patients for intervention. Material and methods A narrative review was performed using indexed data bases (PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, OVID, Scopus and Cochrane) up to year 2020, and approximately 1000 articles were reviewed. The articles included were those with the best information provided. Results Detailed review of the literature suggests that the role of the dentist has been redefined owing to their expertise in the orofacial region. Every patient consulting a dental practice is not merely a dental patient; he/she also requires a comprehensive medical review. The role of the dentist is pivotal in pediatric patients once diagnosed with OSA; as the patients grow, growth modification can be achieved, and future management will be easier. Initiating dental treatments during growth can benefit patients two-fold, saving them from malocclusion, and intervening in orofacial structural growth can help to avoid cumbersome treatments, such as CPAP and various surgeries. Proper diagnosis and management of systemic illnesses can prevent compromised quality of life, delays in treatment, morbidity and, in some cases, mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this work is to evaluate changes following rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on breathing function in two groups of patients: mouth breathers and nasal breathers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five oral breather patients (12 male, 13 female, mean age 15.2 ± 1.3), and 25 nasal breather patients (14 male, 11 female, mean age 15.3 ± 1.6) were treated with RME. Breathing function was evaluated by computerized spirometry. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), Tiffenau index (FEV1/ FVC ratio, IT%), forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of vital capacity (FEF 25-75%), and Tidal volume (TV) were assessed. Breathing function analysis was performed before RME and 6 and 12 months after RME during follow-up appointments. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess whether data were normally distributed. As data were not normally distributed, Mann-Whitney U and Friedman tests were used to perform comparisons between treatment groups and within group comparisons, respectively. RESULTS Oral breathers and nasal breathers showed statistically significant differences in FVC, FEF 25-75%, and TV at T0. They did not present any statistically significant difference in FEV1 and IT% at the same time point.Statistically significant differences were noticed for all indices in the oral breather group after maxillary expansion, while the nasal breather group showed statistically significant differences only in FCV, FEF 25-75%, and TV after treatment.There were no statistically significant differences in all indices 12 months after maxillary expansion between the oral breather and nasal breather groups. CONCLUSIONS RME appeared to improve breathing function in both groups. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of vital capacity (FEF 25-75), and Tidal volume (TV) reached similar values in both groups after treatment with RME.

Effect of treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency using rapid palatal expansion on oral health-related quality of life in children: A randomized controlled trial. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021; 161:172-181. [PMID: 34711482 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2021.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2021] [Revised: 08/01/2021] [Accepted: 08/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This trial aimed to longitudinally evaluate the effect of the treatment of transverse maxillary deficiency using rapid palatal expansion (RPE) on self-perceived oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in children. METHODS Eighty participants aged 8-10 years with transverse maxillary deficiency and bilateral posterior crossbite were randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 40 each): a group treated with RPE using hyrax-type appliances and a nontreated control group. OHRQOL was assessed by using the Child Perceptions Questionnaire for 8-10-year-olds at 4 times: before RPE, during RPE (T1), at the end of RPE (T2), and 1 month after the appliance removal (T3). Generalized mixed models were used for data analysis (α = 0.05). RESULTS Both groups exhibited similar demographic characteristics and OHRQOL scores at baseline. All participants completed the study. RPE had a time-dependent effect on OHRQOL. At T1 and T2, this therapy is expected to increase the overall OHRQOL scores by 1.17 times (ie, ∼17% increase; T1 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-1.26; T2 95% CI, 1.09-1.27; P = 0.001). In contrast, the overall OHRQOL scores at T3 are expected to be 0.28 times the baseline scores (ie, ∼72% reduction; T3 95% CI, 0.26-0.31; P = 0.001). All individual domains of the OHRQOL evidenced a positive impact of treatment at T3 (P = 0.001). Only the oral symptoms and social well-being domains showed a significantly negative impact of the treatment at T1 and T2. CONCLUSIONS Correction of the transverse maxillary deficiency by RPE in children aged 8-10 years improves OHRQOL. There is a temporary worsening of OHRQOL during the treatment of this condition using RPE. REGISTRATION This trial was not registered. PROTOCOL The protocol was not published before trial commencement. FUNDING This study was financed by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - Brazil, Financing Code 001.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the influence of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on nocturnal enuresis (NE) in children to discuss whether RME can be indicated as an alternative treatment for NE in those patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was performed in the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar and LILACS. The literature review was blindly performed by two reviewers. References of each selected study were manually searched to identify articles that were not found by the electronic search. Kappa statistics were used to analyze interexaminer agreement after the selection of the articles. After reading the selected full-text articles, the studies that met the inclusion criteria were assessed qualitatively using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) and the Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized controlled trials-2 (RoB 2). The certainty level of evidence was assessed through the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation tool. Kappa tests were used to analyze the interexaminer concordance level after the quality assessment of the studies. RESULTS A total of 488 articles were found; however, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 8 studies were selected for the systematic review. A low certainty level of evidence suggested that RME seems to promote a variable reduction in frequency or a remission of NE in children in both the short (4, 6, and 8 months) and long term (13, 36, 48, and 120 months). CONCLUSIONS Based on currently available information, RME seems to promote an improvement in NE in children. However, the low quality of the existing evidence weakens the recommendation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the long-term effects on airway in patients with mini-screw-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE), rapid palatal expansion (RPE), and controls with three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 180 CBCTs of 60 patients were analyzed at different time points, such as pretreatment, postexpansion, and posttreatment. Patients were divided into three groups: mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE), rapid palatal expansion (RPE), and controls. The nasal cavity, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal, and laryngopharyngeal airway volume and area were measured. Changes in total airway volume, total airway area, minimal cross-sectional area, maxillary intermolar width, external maxillary width, and palatal width were also evaluated. RESULTS Both MARPE and RPE caused a statistically significant increase in the airway after expansion as compared with the control group, but there was no statistically significant difference in the change in airway between MARPE, RPE, and the control group at posttreatment, except for nasopharyngeal volume, which was significantly increased in the MARPE group. There was no correlation between the amount of expansion and increase in total airway volume. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant increase in total airway volume, total airway area, and minimal cross-sectional area with MARPE and RPE immediately after expansion, but at posttreatment, the changes in the MARPE and RPE groups were similar to the change in the control group. However, MARPE led to a significant long-term increase in nasopharyngeal volume. The amount of expansion did not correlate with the increase in pharyngeal airway volume.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To suggest an updated interdisciplinary treatment protocol for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) based on the integration of craniofacial growth modification into medical and surgical sleep practice. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library were searched up to February 2020 using keywords. Among 184 articles, 80 studies were finally included. An integrated treatment protocol for POSA encompassing craniofacial skeletal management as well as medical and surgical care was attempted. RESULTS A differential diagnostic workflow for identifying the phenotype of POSA was suggested, and a phenotype-based treatment protocol for POSA was proposed. Despite the lack of high level of evidence, timely skeletal growth modification in three dimensions using craniofacial growth potential could be valuable treatment for upper airway development in POSA patients with craniofacial phenotypic cause. CONCLUSION A novel precision treatment protocol will advance clinicians to determine the primary option or to apply the combined strategy for POSA patients.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep disordered breathing (OSDB), in children and adolescents, need to be treated quite soon to avoid complications. A paediatrician, a sleep specialist, an orthodontist, an ENT and a myofunctional therapist will examine together the children with OSDB and determine the best personalised surgical and medical treatments for each of them. Only medical treatments are reviewed in this article. An international consensus recommended adenotonsillectomy as the first line therapy in young with OSDB. Usually adenotonsillectomy is combined with several important adjunctive medical treatments. Overweight and obesity frequent in adolescents, worsen OSDB and increase persistent OSDB after adenotonsillectomy. Weight loss is obtained by dietary restriction, physical activity, psychological support and sleep hygiene rules. Anti-inflammatory drugs (corticosteroids and leukotriene receptor antagonists) have shown their efficacy in children with moderate OSDB. Orthodontic treatments, rapid maxillary expansion or oral appliance, are used in selected patients according to their maxillo-facial disturbances in adjunction to adenotonsillectomy. Nasal CPAP is rarely useful except in severe OSDB specially in persistent OSDB after adenotonsillectomy. Finally, active or passive, myofunctional therapy is, according to some authors, an indispensable adjunct treatment to avoid persistent OSDB after adenotonsillectomy. These personalized medical treatments of OSDB are either administered jointly with adenotonsillectomy or in a hierarchal order.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is an effective treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but poor compliance is a major limitation. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) has been used as an alternative but data about efficacy and objective long-term compliance are scarce; this study aims to address this lack of data. PATIENTS/METHODS All consecutive patients, aged 0-18 years, treated with CPAP for a severe OSA defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > 10 events/h, and not compliant with home CPAP therapy, defined by a CPAP use of <2 h/night, after at least four weeks from CPAP initiation were considered eligible for the study. HFNC was started during an outpatient visit. Study outcomes were the objective compliance (number of hours use/night) after one month and the improvement of OSA on a respiratory polygraphy (RP) with HFNC. RESULTS Eight patients (two boys, mean age 8.9 ± 6.2 years, mean AHI 33 ± 22 events/h) were included in the study: Down syndrome (N = 6), Pierre Robin syndrome (N = 1), Pfeiffer syndrome (N = 1). After one month, five (62%) patients slept with HFNC more than 4 h/night (mean compliance 7 h 10 min ± 0 h 36 min/night). HFNC corrected OSA in the five compliant patients (mean AHI 2 ± 2 events/h with HFNC). HFNC was not accepted by the three oldest patients with Down syndrome. CONCLUSION A good compliance as well as a correction of OSA may be obtained with HFNC in selected children with OSA not compliant to CPAP. HFNC may be used as a rescue therapy for children not compliant with CPAP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare changes in upper airway volume after maxillary expansion with bone- and tooth-borne appliances in adolescents and to evaluate the dentoskeletal effects of each expansion modality. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included 36 adolescents who had bilateral maxillary crossbite and received bone-borne maxillary expansion (average age: 14.7 years) or tooth-borne maxillary expansion (average age: 14.4 years). Subjects had two cone beam computed tomography images acquired, one before expansion (T1) and a second after a 3-month retention period (T2). Images were oriented, and three-dimensional airway volume and dentoskeletal expansion were measured. Analysis of variance was used to test for differences between the two expansion methods for pretreatment, posttreatment, and prepost changes. Paired t-tests were used to test for significance of prepost changes within each method. RESULTS Both groups showed significant increase only in nasal cavity and nasopharynx volume (P < .05), but not oropharynx and maxillary sinus volumes. Intermolar and maxillary width increased significantly in both groups (P < .05); however, the buccal inclination of maxillary molars increased significantly only in the tooth-borne group (P < .05). There was no significant difference between tooth- and bone-borne expansion groups, except for the significantly larger increase in buccal inclination of the maxillary right first molar after tooth-borne expansion. CONCLUSIONS In adolescents, both tooth- and bone-borne RME resulted in an increase in nasal cavity and nasopharynx volume, as well as expansion in maxillary intermolar and skeletal widths. However, only tooth-borne expanders caused significant buccal tipping of maxillary molars.

Abstract
Abstract Introduction The rapid maxillary expansion (RME) reduces the risk of developing structural and functional disorders in the stomatognathic system. Objective To examine the effects of the RME as a treatment for the posterior crossbite, related with the electromyographic activity of the masticatory muscles and the TMJ noises in a population of children. Material and method 13 girls and 7 boys, regardless of the type of malocclusion, with a mean age of 9 years old (± 3), were treated with RME. The electrovibratography analyzed the TMJ noise, and the electromyography analyzed the masticatory muscles before treatment (T0) and after three months of a short-term follow-up (T1). The comparisons of the affected and unaffected sides by the crossbite were performed using Mann-Whitney’s test, and to compare data before and after treatment the Wilcoxon’s test was used (level of significance: 5%). Result No significant differences were found in the parameters of joint noise in comparison to the sides affected and unaffected by the crossbite, in both T0 and T1 (p>0.05); only the side without the crossbite observed decrease in the peak amplitude of the joint noises after treatment. In the static electromyographic analysis, inter-side differences were observed before and after treatment, since the deliberate unilateral chewing showed greater asymmetry activity in T0 for both sides, which has been corrected after treatment, improving the functional chewing. Conclusion The proposed treatment did not lead to the occurrence of joint noises and improved the functional pattern of electromyographic activity during chewing at the end of treatment.

Effect of semi-rapid maxillary expansion in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: 5-month follow-up study. Sleep Breath 2018; 22:1053-1061. [PMID: 29453640 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-018-1636-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2017] [Revised: 12/11/2017] [Accepted: 01/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of semi-rapid maxillary expansion (SRME) orthodontic treatment on biomarkers and respiratory parameters in children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and maxillary transverse deficiency. METHODS Thirty children with OSAS were included in this study. Fifteen children were enrolled as control, and 15 children were subjected to SRME orthodontic treatment method for 5 months. Beside respiratory parameters, pharyngeal area, dental arch, and postero-anterior widths and the levels of OSAS biomarkers in serum and urine were measured. RESULTS Pharyngeal airway space, dental arch, and postero-anterior widths were increased after SRME treatment. Sleep tests showed a decrease in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) after 5-month control/treatment duration. Serum kallikrein (KLK)1 levels decreased significantly in the treatment group. There was a significant increase in serum orosomucoid (ORM)2 levels and a decrease in urine perlecan levels in the control group after a 5-month follow-up. A significant negative correlation between serum ORM2, perlecan, gelsolin, and KLK1 levels and intercanin width, as well as between serum ORM2 and KLK1 levels and intermolar width, was observed. CONCLUSIONS SRME treatment can be considered as a useful approach in children with OSAS. A further investigation of OSAS-related biomarkers and their relationship with sleep and orthodontic parameters is needed for providing easier and reliable modulatory strategies in the treatment of OSAS.
