Sleep-disordered breathing in children and adolescents seeking paediatric dental care in Dubai, UAE

ConclusionsThis study suggested that approximately 12% of the sample studied were potentially at risk of SDB. Tonsils' size, Body-Mass Index, Class-II molar relationship, and posterior crossbite/s were positively associated with the risk of SDB. Therefore, the importance of investigating the risk for sleep-disordered breathing should not be disregarded.
