Abstract (English):	Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder with serious complications. Considering the association of untreated OSA with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, some types of cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, early diagnosis is clinically vital for this disease. Polysomnography (PSG) is the most definitive approach to detect OSA, but it requires expert technical service, is considered a costly procedure, and is not readily available. Thus, simpler and inexpensive screening tools are necessary. There is a growing interest in the use of portable home sleep apnea testing devices for the diagnosis of OSA in recent years, but the efficacy of evaluation and testing with these portable devices is still debatable. Considering the high cost of PSG, which is the most reliable method for OSA diagnosis, an approach with lower cost and high sensitivity to detect OSA is required. The head and neck region and oral cavity enclose clinical parameters associated with OSA, which may enable dental practitioners to play an important role in referring patients at risk of OSA to clinics for early diagnosis. In the present review, the risk factors of OSA are evaluated with clinical findings, many clinical and radiological parameters associated with OSA in the head and neck region are presented together with current literature information, and the auxiliary diagnostic methods that can be utilized by dental practitioners to determine the risk of OSA are presented.

Abstract (Turkish):	Obstrüktif uyku apnesi (OUA), ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olabilen yaygın bir uyku bozukluğudur. Tedavi edilmeyen OUA’nın tip 2 diyabet, hipertansiyon, bazı kanser türleri ve kardiyovasküler hastalıklar ile ilişkili olabilmesi nedeniyle erken tanı bu hastalık için klinik olarak büyük önem taşımaktadır. Polisomnografi OUA’yı saptamada en kesin tanı yöntemidir, ancak teknik personel ve yüksek ekipman gerektiren, erişimi zor ve pahalı bir uygulama olması kullanımını zorlaştırmaktadır. Son yıllarda, OUA teşhisi için evde uyku apnesi testlerinin (home sleep apnea test) kullanımına yönelik ilgi artmış olmakla birlikte, bu taşınabilir cihazların maliyetinin yüksek olduğu ve OUA değerlendirmesinde hala sınırlılıkları olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu aşamada, OUA tanısına yönelik daha düşük maliyetli ve yüksek duyarlılığa sahip bir yaklaşıma ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Baş-boyun bölgesinde ve ağız içinde OUA ile ilişkili klinik parametrelerin bulunması, OUA riski taşıyan hastaların belirlenmesinde ve erken tanı için kliniklere yönlendirmesinde diş hekimlerinin önemli bir rol oynamasını sağlamaktadır. Bu derlemede, klinik bulgular ile OUA’ya yönelik risk faktörleri değerlendirilmiş, baş-boyun bölgesinde OUA ile ilişkili birçok klinik ve radyolojik parametrenin yanı sıra diş hekimlerinin OUA riskini belirlemelerinde kullanılabilecekleri yardımcı tanı yöntemlerinin güncel literatür bilgileriyle birlikte değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
