About this episode
A comprehensive overview of dental sleep medicine, focusing heavily on the diagnosis and management of Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders (SRBDs) like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It outlines the growing role of the dentist in screening for these conditions, discussing various diagnostic tools such as the Polysomnogram (PSG), Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT), and specialized questionnaires like the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). A major portion of the text addresses treatment options, including the fabrication and titration of Oral Appliances (OAs), comparing them with Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) therapy, and reviewing various surgical interventions. Furthermore, the material explores the complex relationship between sleep disorders and other health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, orofacial pain, and pediatric sleep issues, while also clarifying normal sleep physiology and the mechanism of conditions like sleep bruxism (SB).
