Abstract
Aims: Dental students are under the risk of developing sleep disorders due to intensive curriculum and long study hours. Hence, we aimed to assess the prevalance of obstuctive sleep apnea syndrome and its relation with sleep quality among Turkish dental students.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 314 dental students, who completed Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) to identify the sleep quality (SQ) and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS).
