Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the craniofacial morphology of adult male patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Materials and Methods: Cephalograms of 80 male patients (60 OSAS, 20 snoring) were evaluated. Subjects were grouped as, Group 1: snoring (AHI 5); Group 2: mild OSA (5≤ AHI 15); Group 3: moderate OSA (15≤ AHI 30) ; Group 4: severe OSA (AHI≥30). Measurements were made to evaluate hyoid bone position, tongue base and soft palate, craniocervical extension and the airway width. Statistical significance was determined with one-way ANOVA and Duncan test for variables showing normal distribution. Kruskal Wallis test and Mann Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction were used to evaluate the variables that were not normally distibuted. Results: No significant differences were found in hyoid bone position, soft palate position, craniocervical extension and the airway width (p 0.05). PNS-V (mm), was significantly different between severe OSA group and the other groups (p 0.05). The other measurements on tongue base showed no difference between groups (p 0.05). Conclusions: In this study population, the tongue base was more inferiorly positioned in the severe OSA group whereas the other craniofacial variables showed no difference between groups.
