Sleep apnea risk after dental surgery under general anesthesia
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study checks dental patients for the risk of sleep apnea before surgery and looks at whether that risk is linked to problems after general anesthesia. It may help you understand your own risk and improve safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You need dental surgery that uses general anesthesia (you'll be completely asleep)
- You have never been told you have sleep apnea

This study uses a simple questionnaire (STOP-Bang) to check if patients having chest surgery might have undiagnosed sleep apnea or face breathing challenges during surgery. It helps doctors plan safer care.
This study looks at patients who had jaw surgery for obstructive sleep apnea and then developed central sleep apnea (where the brain doesn't send the right signals to breathe) after surgery. It aims to understand how these breathing problems change over time, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at how sleep problems before surgery affect the amount of anesthesia needed and how well you recover after non-cardiac surgery. The goal is to help doctors personalize care for better recovery.
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
This study records how your upper airway changes on scans after a jaw surgery called MMA for obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). It also looks at how those changes relate to quality of life, which may help doctors better predict who benefits from surgery.
This study looks at how sleep changes for adults after surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers want to understand patients' experiences with sleep during recovery.
