Abstract

A person who has reached the elderly stage will have an experienced degenerative process that causes several disorders. Changes in the masticatory function due to the loss of the remaining teeth can cause a transformation not only in the mastication system but also in the upper airway system of respiration. This is due to orofacial deformation, tongue retraction while in the resting position, occlusal vertical dimension changes, and a decrease in facial height. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep breathing disorder with 17 % prevalence rate in adults and increases up to 49% in the elderly stage. A complete denture can be a rehabilitative treatment option for the elderly OSA patient. Wearing dentures during sleep is against the principles of dentistry because it can cause the tongue to be positioned posteriorly. However, people, mostly women, still wears denture while sleeping. This might further increase the obstruction of upper airway system.

Abstract

Background: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by breathing difficulties during sleep. Dentists play a crucial role in raising awareness about OSA and assisting patients in obtaining a diagnosis by providing accurate information. This necessitates using precise measurement tools to identify and assess sleep disorders in patients during dental visits. Objective: To determine the validity and reliability of a questionnaire regarding dentists' understanding of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in Jakarta. Method: This study employed an analytical observational approach using a cross-sectional design. The sample included 220 dentists working in Jakarta's health centers, clinics, and hospitals. Data analysis was conducted using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test for normality test. Results: The correlation test results indicated that the questionnaire met the criteria for validity. The average Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.712, exceeding the minimum value of 0.60, indicating that the questionnaire used in this study is reliable and can accurately measure dentists' understanding of OSA. Conclusion: Research involving dentists aged 25-50 suggests that the questionnaire assessing the level of knowledge of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) demonstrates good accuracy and can be relied upon as a tool to evaluate dentists' comprehension of OSA.
