Effects of rapid maxillary expansion on respiratory and bruxism indexes in children with obstructive sleep apnea: a pilot study.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on sleep bruxism (SB) and respiratory indexes in pediatric patients.
Methods: Twenty-four subjects needing orthodontic treatment and with suspicion of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were recruited. Before orthodontics, a clinical and anamnestic evaluation as well as a polygraphic recording was performed. The subjects underwent rapid palatal expansion and, after 6 months, the evaluations were repeated for the participants with an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) > 1.
Results: Mean AHI was 2.3±1.4 and 2.2±1.2 at T0 and T1, respectively, while sleep bruxism events (SBEs) values were 15.1± 17 and 23.1±14.5. No significant differences between pre and post treatment values could be detected.
Conclusions: At the study population level, no statistically significant differences in the main (i.e., AHI and SBEs) and secondary outcomes with RME treatment were described. Specific phenotypes might be identified with future studies.
期刊介绍:
CRANIO: The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice is the oldest and largest journal in the world devoted to temporomandibular disorders, and now also includes articles on all aspects of sleep medicine. The Journal is multidisciplinary in its scope, with editorial board members from all areas of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopaedists, radiologists, chiropractors, professors and behavioural scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians.
CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines, as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest.
CRANIO''s current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to the Journal.
