Abstract(s)
A síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono é uma doença crónica em que a respiração pára durante o sono. Esta perturbação leva a complicações de saúde, como sonolência diurna, diminuição cognitiva, aumento do risco de hipertensão arterial e até morte. É potencialmente grave e afeta milhões de pessoas. Apesar da existência de métodos de diagnóstico cada vez melhores, continua a haver pessoas não diagnosticadas, podendo o médico dentista dar um contributo significativo na deteção deste distúrbio.
Esta revisão narrativa pretende mostrar qual é a perspetiva do médico dentista no controlo desta patologia e qual pode ser a sua participação numa colaboração multidisciplinar.
Com a elaboração deste trabalho concluiu-se que o médico dentista tem um papel primordial no diagnóstico por conhecer e ter acesso às principais desordens desse distúrbio. Adicionalmente, através de aparelhos intra-orais ou cirurgias ortognáticas, pode dar um contributo importante em tratamentos multidisciplinares com outros profissionais de saúde.
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is a chronic condition in which breathing stops during sleep. This disorder leads to health complications such as daytime sleepiness, cognitive impairment, increased risk of high blood pressure and even death. Is potentially serious and affects millions of people. Despite the existence of increasingly better diagnostic methods, people remain undiagnosed, and the dentist can make a significant contribution to the detection of this disorder. This narrative review aimed to show what is the perspective of the dentist in the control of this pathology and what can be his participation in a multidisciplinary collaboration. This narrative review concluded that the dentist has a primary role in the diagnosis, as he/she knows and has access to the main disorders of this pathology. Additionally, through intraoral appliances or orthognathic surgery, they can make an important contribution in multidisciplinary treatments with other health professionals.
