Summary

This study looks at adults having dental procedures under general anesthesia to see if undiagnosed sleep apnea raises the risk of breathing problems after surgery. Researchers will use two common screening tools (STOP-BANG and ASA criteria) to identify high-risk patients and refer them for further testing. The goal is to improve patient safety by catching sleep apnea before surgery.
