The Role of the Hyoid Bone in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Severity: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has numerous complications that negatively impact patients' quality of life. Early diagnosis can significantly reduce these complications. The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between the hyoid bone position and the severity of apnea, and to determine if hyoid‐related cephalometric variables can ...

The Pharyngeal Resistance Index—A Promising Diagnostic Tool in OSA

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the newly developed pharyngeal resistance index derived from computational fluid dynamics analysis of the upper airway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The aim was to evaluate this index as a diagnostic and severity assessment tool by comparing it with the apnea‐hypopnea index before and after maxillomandibular
