[19659004] Istanbul Aydin Faculty of Dentistry (Dentaydın) Professor Dr. Hüseyin Kurtulmuş, Professor of Department of Prosthodontics Department of Prosthodontics, stating that sleep apnea, more common in recent years and seriously affecting the quality of life, can be resolved by dental services.

"The solution of sleep apnea is dentistry

Sleep apnea is the most common type of dysphoria, and the dentist is sleep apnea-like "Obstructive." Dr. "At the same time, the most common type of sleep apnea is obstruction-type sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disease characterized by complete obstruction of the upper airways, usually the root region of the tongue during sleep (obstruction), and the presence of this intermittent breathing effort with passage of the upper respiratory tract. air in the upper respiratory tract. The only solution for this type of sleep apnea is dental care. The intraoral devices approved by the American Sleep Disorders Association are the most effective solution to this problem. These devices are tools that push the root of the tongue or lower jaw towards the front. These tools strengthen the muscles of the tongue and jaw, just like an athlete's exercises to build muscles, thus eliminating the obstruction during sleep. "

Recalling that sleep apnea means "shortness of breath in sleep," Kurtulmuş said, "However, all kinds of respiratory stops during sleep are not called sleep apnea.According to established standards, more than 5 times more sleep and more than 5 seconds of breathing each time is defined as "Sleep apnea," he said Kurtulmuş pointed out that sleep apnea is a more common problem than it is, "According to the results, 3 out of 10 people have the Sleep apnea, but there are people who do not know that they are suffering from sleep apnea. he does not identify it. "

Expressing that sleep apnea is the most important symptom of apnea of ​​the day, Kurtulmuş said," If the patient has sleep apnea, he is constantly asleep during the day and has a tendency to fall asleep at work because he can not sleep at night.Especially after lunch, he really feels the need to make a candy so much that in the traffic, even in the red light, which is a little longer, I fell asleep Another symptom is that the patient is gaining weight quickly.Sleep apnea is a condition that can result in sudden death due to sleep apnea, to hypertension or even a heart attack due to decreased oxygen in the body and to the quality of life. 9659008] Snoring is due to the acceleration of the flow of air due to the relaxation of the airways in the sleep process, the air passing through a narrow passage may be described as producing noisy noises by vibrating the unsupported tissues of the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, although it is not as severe as sleep apnea, it is a condition that needs to be carefully monitored. Because people with chronic snoring problems are potential sleep apnea patients, because primer snoring is the first step in sleep apnea. Lateral X-rays provide great convenience in such problems. Thanks to the X-rays of the side head, we can easily diagnose the patient's sleep apnea or snoring, and according to him, we can go to treatment. "
