Abstract:

The purpose of this literature review is to optimize the use of cephalometric diagnostic methods for assessing the condition of the upper respiratory tract. The article examines the areas of the upper respiratory tract associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA). Cephalometric analysis can be a useful tool for screening this pathology. However, it should be noted that there is still no clear understanding of the results of cephalometric changes in OSA, and therefore further research is necessary.
