Although sleep disorders including sleep apnea are typically diagnosed by a sleep medicine physician, dentists roles include identifying oral and physical exam findings, as well as clinical symptoms that may prompt further screening and/or referral for OSA and sleep-related movement disorders. We will review indications to refer to other health professionals, indications for oral appliance therapy, as well as characteristics that can influence oral appliance effectiveness in managing OSA. OBJECTIVES • Identify risk factors and clinical findings that may increase your suspicion of a patient having sleep disorder. • Learn how to screen patients for obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related bruxism, and restless leg syndrome. • Learn about different oral mandibular advancement devices to treat obstructive sleep apnea.
