Examining Tongue Size in OSA Patients with Lateral Cephalometric Radiography

Abstract

Aim: This article aims to investigate tongue dimensions in patients using lateral cephalometric radiography, examining the potential impact of differences in tongue size on Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). The data obtained in this study may contribute to a better understanding of the risk factors involved in the development of OSAS.
 Methods: This study included 80 patients, with 34 females and 46 males. Among these patients, 48 were in the patient group with OSA, and 32 were in the control group AHI
