Caracterización cráneo-cervical de pacientes con apnea obstructiva del sueño mediante tomografía cone beam en el primer periodo del año 2018

Abstract

The study sought a cranio-cervical characterization in patients diagnosed with OSAS confirmed by polysomnography, Realization of a structural analysis by means of Cone Beam Computed Tomography. The analysis involved the measurement of the tracks. A segmentation process and a bivariate analysis to identify a relationship with the degree of severity of the syndrome. The evidence supports the cervical, cranial and maxillo-mandibular findings, associated with an extended head position, decreased intervertebral spaces and lower bone height in the middle of the sample. However, the Age and changes in mandibular plane angulation are those that show a statistically significant difference, Associated with compensatory mechanisms, decreased muscle response, systemic conditions and drug use. that depress the CNS.
