Abstract
Purpose: It has been suggested that dentofacial deformities (DFD) can impair sleep quality. This pilot study aimed at evaluating sleep disorders in individuals with DFD before orthognathic surgery, correlating the clinical findings with salivary biomarker levels.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled ten males and ten females with DFD diagnoses under orthodontic treatment preceding orthognathic surgery. The participants responded to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Fletcher and Luckett Sleep Questionnaire (FLSQ). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was examined by the Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT). The salivary levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), glutamate, and serotonin were measured.
Results: 85% of individuals presented PSQI and FLSQ scores indicative of sleep alterations. Females had higher scores in part 2 of the FLSQ instrument, referring to sleepiness-associated complaints. HSAT analysis revealed a low number of symptomatic OSA individuals, with three males demonstrating altered oxygen desaturation rates. There was a significant negative correlation between the salivary levels of serotonin and the FLSQ results.
Conclusions: Individuals with DFD diagnosis showed poorer sleep quality, which is likely independent of sex and OSA diagnosis, and negatively correlated with salivary levels of serotonin.
期刊介绍：
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery founded as Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie is a peer-reviewed online journal. It is designed for clinicians as well as researchers.The quarterly journal offers comprehensive coverage of new techniques, important developments and innovative ideas in oral and maxillofacial surgery and interdisciplinary aspects of cranial, facial and oral diseases and their management. The journal publishes papers of the highest scientific merit and widest possible scope on work in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as supporting specialties. Practice-oriented articles help improve the methods used in oral and maxillofacial surgery.Every aspect of oral and maxillofacial surgery is fully covered through a range of invited review articles, clinical and research articles, technical notes, abstracts, and case reports. Specific topics are: aesthetic facial surgery, clinical pathology, computer-assisted surgery, congenital and craniofacial deformities, dentoalveolar surgery, head and neck oncology, implant dentistry, oral medicine, orthognathic surgery, reconstructive surgery, skull base surgery, TMJ and trauma.Time-limited reviewing and electronic processing allow to publish articles as fast as possible. Accepted articles are rapidly accessible online.Clinical studies submitted for publication have to include a declaration that they have been approved by an ethical committee according to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki 1964 (last amendment during the 52nd World Medical Association General Assembly, Edinburgh, Scotland, October 2000). Experimental animal studies have to be carried out according to the principles of laboratory animal care (NIH publication No 86-23, revised 1985).
