Abstract(s)
A Síndrome da Apneia-Hipopneia Obstrutiva do Sono é uma doença crónica, de carácter progressivo, que afecta gravemente a saúde e a qualidade de vida. Entre as suas implicações estão os microdespertares frequentes, a fragmentação e a redução da eficiência do sono, que resultam em excessiva sonolência diurna. É caracterizada por episódios recorrentes de obstrução parcial (hipopneia) ou total (apneia) da via aérea superior durante o sono, associada à manutenção dos esforços inspiratórios, por pelo menos 10 segundos. Diversos tratamentos têm sido propostos, entre os quais se destacam os aparelhos intraorais de avanço mandibular. Esta revisão bibliográfica narrativa objetiva mostrar de que forma esta patologia pode ser diagnosticada e tratada na perspectiva do Médico Dentista.
The Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome is a chronic, progressive disease that seriously affects health and quality of life. Implications include frequent micro-awakenings, sleep fragmentation, and reduced sleep efficiency, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness. It is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial (hypopnea) or total (apnea) obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, associated with the maintenance of inspiratory efforts, for at least 10 seconds. Several treatments have been proposed, among which are the intraoral devices of mandibular advancement. This narrative bibliographic review aims to show how this pathology can be diagnosed and treated in the perspective of the Dentist.
