Official title

Correlation Between Posterior Crossbite and Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Questionnaire-Based Analysis

Overview

Correlation Between Posterior Crossbite and Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Detailed description

Understanding the correlation between posterior crossbite and OSA risk is essential for early detection and prevention. Pediatric dentists and orthodontists are uniquely positioned to identify craniofacial risk factors and initiate early intervention.

Screening tools such as OSA-18 can help identify children at risk and facilitate timely referral for multidisciplinary management. Furthermore, evaluating this association will contribute to improving clinical decision-making and patient outcomes.

Aim of study:

To assess the correlation between posterior crossbite and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea in children using the OSA-18 questionnaire.

Interventions

  • Other Comparator
    Patients without posterior crossbite, or Normative OSA-18 scores / low-risk groups
  • Other Interventions
    Screening using the OSA-18 (Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18) questionnaire

Primary outcome measures

  • Risk or presence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) based on OSA-18 scores [Time frame: 2 months]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Children in mixed dentition stage aged 6-12 years
  • Presence of posterior crossbite

Exclusion criteria

  • Syndromic patients
  • Previous orthodontic treatment
  • Chronic respiratory or neurological disorders Matching criteria and allocation ratio

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
