Effect of Sleep Apnea on Pain After Dental Treatment

Summary

This observational study aims to investigate the effects of sleep quality and systemic health status on pain levels following endodontic treatment in adult patients. The primary goal is to determine how obstructive sleep apnea and common systemic conditions (diabetes and hypertension) influence postoperative dental pain.

The key questions it aims to answer are:

Does the severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) lead to higher postoperative pain scores after root canal treatment?

How does the presence of systemic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, affect pain perception compared to healthy individuals and OSA patients?

Comparison Groups:

Researchers will compare outcomes across three distinct cohorts:

OSA Group: Patients diagnosed with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea via polysomnography.

Systemic Disease Group: Patients with diagnosed systemic conditions, specifically diabetes and hypertension.

Control Group: Systemically healthy individuals without sleep disorders.

Participants will:

Undergo a polysomnography (PSG) evaluation to assess their sleep status.

Receive routine, standard-of-care endodontic treatment.

Record and report their pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at specific intervals after the procedure.

PROCEDURE

Standard Endodontic Treatment

Standardized single-session root canal treatment performed under rubber dam isolation and local anesthesia. Root canals are prepared using the VDW.ROTATE™ rotary system, irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, and obturated with the single-cone technique using AH Plus sealer.
