Resumen:
Objectives We aimed to explore the association between periodontitis and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) and the possible influence of body mass index (BMI) and obesity upon this association. Materials and methods A case-control study was made involving 114 subjects (60 patients with SAHS and 54 controls). A thorough periodontal evaluation was carried out, and demographic and clinical data were collected. Results Periodontitis was more prevalent in SAHS (80%) than in the controls (48.1%). The recorded statistically significant association (OR = 4.31; p = 0.001) was seen to weaken in the multivariate model (OR = 2.03; p = 0.204), with BMI adopting a more influential role. The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was correlated to probing depth (PD) (r = 0.40; p = 0.002) and clinical attachment level (CAL) (r = 0.41; p = 0.001). The periodontal parameters were seen to be higher in obese SAHS patients (BMI >= 30 kg/m(2)) than in non-obese SAHS patients (BMI < 30 kg/m(2)). Conclusions The greater prevalence and severity of periodontitis in patients with SAHS were fundamentally influenced by BMI. On the other hand, periodontitis was more severe in patients with severe SAHS.
