Dr. Maryam Akbari is an OMS resident in New York City. Dr. Riddhi Patel is a clinical instructor at the University of Cincinnati Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Join the hosts of OralMaxFax as they discuss the diagnosis and treatment of Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing. There are many predisposing factors to OSA including craniofacial abnormalities or facial disproportions. The OSA is classified with Apnea Hypoapnea Index or Respiratory Disturbance Index. There are multiple treatment modalities in practice today from the most conservative treatment options to the most invasive ones. In this talk, we will try to present the most comprehensive summary of the pathophysiology and clinical features of OSA as well as present data on different treatment options to help you make the most evidence based decision on OSA.
