Patients were assessed based on body mass index, age, neck circumference, and gender (BANG), which were recorded for both the patients and controls.

All the variables except Angle\u2019s class of malocclusion, periodontitis, mouth breathing, and hypertension showed significant differences in the study group. Multivariate analysis for patients with OSA revealed that obese patients were almost 1.5 times more possibly to report OSA symptoms than their non-obese counterparts. It was also found that patients with OSA were 4.12 times more likely to have neck circumference &gt;40 cm, 2.25 times more likely to have maxillary arch constriction, 1.43 times deeper palatal vault, 8.7 times macroglossia, and 1.7 times class III &amp; IV Mallampati score for uvula.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The oral structural findings appear to be more closely related with OSA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_582_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T07:34:07Z","timestamp":1666164847000},"page":"5263-5267","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Oral findings as predictors of obstructive sleep apnea- A case-control study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Asifa","family":"Ashraf","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, I.T.S Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ipseeta","family":"Menon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, I.T.S Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ritu","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, I.T.S Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vikram","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, I.T.S Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Iram","family":"Ahsan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, I.T.S Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dipshikha","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health Dentistry, I.T.S Centre for Dental Studies and Research, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"236","DOI":"10.1111\/odi.12152","article-title":"Interactions between sleep disorders and oral diseases","volume":"20","author":"Huynh","year":"2014","journal-title":"Oral Dis"},{"key":"B2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1203","DOI":"10.1093\/sleep\/29.9.1203","article-title":"Complex sleep apnea syndrome: Is it a unique clinical syndrome?","volume":"29","author":"Morgenthaler","year":"2006","journal-title":"Sleep"},{"key":"B4-20240828","first-page":"94","article-title":"Sleep realted breathing disorders.
