Sagittal Malocclusion and Sleep Quality in Children

Turkey (Türkiye)164 participantsStarted 2021-04-01

Plain-language summary

This observational cross-sectional study evaluated the impact of sagittal skeletal malocclusions on sleep quality in children without orofacial functional disorders. A total of 164 children aged 7-13 years were assessed. Sleep quality was measured using the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), and participants were classified as skeletal Class I, II, or III based on cephalometric analyses. Comparisons were made between skeletal groups regarding CSHQ scores, mandibular and vertical skeletal measurements, and upper airway dimensions. The aim was to determine whether skeletal discrepancies independently influence pediatric sleep quality in the absence of functional impairments.
