Focus of dental sleep medicine on obstructive sleep apnea in older adults : A narrative review
PURPOSE: To review dental sleep medicine in older adults based on the literature.
STUDY SELECTION: This narrative review focuses on sleep physiology, common sleep disorders, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in older adults and their management.
RESULTS: Sleep physiology differs between older and younger adults, with sleep disturbances occurring more frequently in older adults. The prevalence of insomnia increases in older adults due to age-related changes in sleep physiology. Insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder are common sleep disorders in older adults. OSA is more prevalent in older adults, and its effects on them are considered more substantial than those on younger adults. The treatment of older patients with mandibular advancement devices may be less effective and more complex owing to potential impairments in oral and dental health. Furthermore, the prevalence of edentulism in older adults is decreasing while life expectancy is increasing.
CONCLUSIONS: As older adults have comorbidities that affect sleep quality, dentists should consider the effects of sleep physiology and sleep disorders in these patients. OSA may decrease the quality of life and increase the risk of developing other diseases. Therefore, dentists proposing treatment with mandibular advancement devices need to inform patients of their potential lack of efficacy and the requirement for careful follow-up owing to known and unknown side effects.
