Abstract:

Lots of patients with obstructive sleep apnea(OSA)are first recognized in dental institutions. In consideration of dental characteristics, we summarize advances in the application of screening methods for adult OSA patients based on oral examination, craniofacial structure, imaging examination, medical history, clinical symptoms, manifestation, populations at risk and questionnaires. Dental practitioners can screen and identify potential OSA patients, play a better role in the multidisciplinary of OSA, and help the prevention of OSA.
