    Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has been considered a major health complication as the underlying medical condition poses independent risk factors such as hypertension, Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD), and diabetes thus resulting in an increased multi-morbidity and mortality rate among individuals. The emergence of diagnostic tools and techniques for exploring OSA has become a primary requisite for the healthcare community to focus on meticulously. Aim of the study: To determine the morphology of the soft palate among potential OSA patients via performing CBCT and lateral cephalogram studies Objective of the study: To perform a comparative analysis between CBCT and Lateral Cephalogram and to determine the reliability of the radiographic techniques in measuring the upper airway. Methodology: 30 individuals diagnosed with potential OSA were subjected to Upper Airway measurements through rad.. Read More»
