MANAGEMENT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME BY THE DENTIST: A STRATEGY FOR THE PREVENTION OF ALZHEIMER'S

Abstract

This study highlights the role of the dentist in the management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) and its potential contribution to the prevention of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). A literature review of the Scielo, Scopus, and PubMed databases revealed that OSAS, through mechanisms such as intermittent hypoxia, chronic inflammation, and glymphatic dysfunction, promotes the formation of beta-amyloid plaques and impairs sleep. Devices such as CPAPs and intraoral appliances (IOAs) improve sleep quality and protect cognition. Based on this study, it can be concluded that the dentist can assist in the treatment of OSAS and, in doing so, play a strategic role in the prevention of AD.
