Craniofacial and upper airway morphology in adult obstructive sleep apnea patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cephalometric studies

  • Authors: Neelapu B, et al.
  • Journal: Sleep Med Rev, 2017
  • Key Finding: Identified specific craniofacial characteristics associated with OSA, including retrognathic mandible and maxilla, inferiorly positioned hyoid, and reduced airway dimensions.

Head posture and malocclusions

  • Authors: Solow B, Sonneson L
  • Journal: Eur J Orthod, 1998
  • Key Finding: Demonstrated significant associations between head posture and development of malocclusions, with implications for breathing patterns.

Cranio-facial morphology in children with and without enlarged tonsils

  • Authors: Behlfelt K, et al.
  • Journal: Eur J Orthod, 1990
  • Key Finding: Children with enlarged tonsils show distinct craniofacial development patterns compared to controls.

AP relationship of the maxillary central incisors to the forehead in adult white females

  • Authors: Andrews WA
  • Journal: Angle Orthod, 2008
  • Key Finding: Established relationship between maxillary incisor position and forehead landmarks, important for facial harmony and airway development.

Differences in dentofacial morphology in children with sleep disordered breathing

  • Authors: Yap B, et al.
  • Journal: Sleep Med, 2019
  • Key Finding: Identified distinct dentofacial characteristics in children with sleep-disordered breathing detectable through routine orthodontic records.

Relationship between sleep-disordered breathing and markers of systemic inflammation in women

  • Authors: Svensson M, et al.
  • Journal: J Sleep Res, 2012
  • Key Finding: Sleep-disordered breathing associated with increased inflammatory markers, suggesting systemic effects of airway obstruction.

Anatomic determinants of sleep-disordered breathing across the spectrum of clinical and nonclinical male subjects

  • Authors: Dempsey J, et al.
  • Journal: Chest, 2002
  • Key Finding: Identified specific anatomical factors that predispose individuals to sleep-disordered breathing, emphasizing the role of craniofacial structure.

The relationship between three-dimensional craniofacial and upper airway anatomical variables and severity of obstructive sleep apnoea in adults

  • Authors: Wang X, et al.
  • Journal: Eur J Orthod, 2021
  • Key Finding: Strong correlations found between specific 3D craniofacial measurements and OSA severity, providing guidance for treatment planning.

Breathing obstruction in relation to craniofacial and dental arch morphology in 4-year-old children

  • Authors: Lofstrand-Tidestrom B, et al.
  • Journal: Eur J Orthod, 1999
  • Key Finding: Early childhood breathing problems significantly influence craniofacial and dental arch development.
