Sleep apnea is a common and potentially dangerous sleep disorder characterized by alternating periods of cessation and resumption of breathing and increased resistance of the upper respiratory tract. Among the main symptoms of the disease are severe snoring and periods of complete lack of breathing during sleep and the day - morning headaches, fatigue, severe drowsiness and difficulty concentrating. Sleep apnea is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and traffic accidents due to strong daily somnolence. The high prevalence of sleep apnea the many unexplored questions and data published by various authors on its impact on patients' overall physical and mental health and quality of life gave rise to our desire to work on this so relevant to modern times society approach. Any new study of the concomitant factors for the development of the disease and the possibilities for its prevention and treatment are undoubtedly necessary and contribute to good clinical practice and in the daily lives of patients. This thesis aims to study the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve the quality of life in patients with snoring and OSA and pathological dental status.
