| Sumario: | Abstract To determine the association between cephalometric measurements and polysomnographic parameters in Brazilian patients with midface deficiency. This was a primary, clinical, observational, longitudinal, retrospective, analytical, and single-center study. Forty-eight patients with midface deficiency were divided into two groups as follows: those who underwent surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARME) and those who received maxillary advancement (MA). Pre- and post-operative cephalometric and polysomnography measurements were obtained. Pearson's correlation was used to verify the presence of any significant associations between PSG scores and cephalometric measurements. Associations between BMI (Body Mass Index) and AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index) as well as arousals were observed. In the SARME group, associations between AHI and SNA, UAS and MP-H, arousals and SNA, and Co-A and MP-H were noted. Associations between AHI and Co-A, PoOr-A and MP-H, arousals and UAS, and between minimum saturation of O2 and SNA, SNB, and Co-A were observed in the MA group. This study demonstrates the alterations in the middle third of the face that were related to sleep disturbance. In addition, it shows the associations between the polysomnographic parameters and the cephalometric representations corresponding to the analyzed deformities and transverse or anteroposterior maxillary deficiencies. |
