Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea Among Dental Interns in Egyptian Universities
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Pediatric Obstructive Sleep Apnea
In brief
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common yet underdiagnosed sleep-related breathing disorder in children that may result in serious health and behavioral complications if left untreated. Dental professionals can play an important role in the early identification and referral of pediatric OSA cases during routine dental examinations. However, limited knowledge and inadequate clinical practices may affect their ability to contribute effectively to patient care. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aims to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding the management of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea among dental interns in selected Egyptian universities using a validated questionnaire.
