Sleep apnea risk after dental surgery under general anesthesia
Part of Ear, nose & throat 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 looks at how surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep) may affect your airway. The goal is to understand if the surgery makes it easier to manage your airway in the future.
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 how sleep patterns change in the first three nights after surgery for people who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It aims to understand how anesthesia and sleep apnea severity affect sleep quality during recovery.
This study looks at what happens to sleep apnea after jaw-advancement surgery (a procedure that moves the lower jaw forward to open the airway). Researchers want to understand central sleep apnea—a different type that can develop after surgery—and help improve treatment outcomes.
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.
