Abstract

Dental sleep medicine is a rapidly growing field that is in close and direct interaction with sleep medicine and comprises many aspects of human health. As a result, dentists who encounter sleep health and sleep disorders may work with clinicians from many other disciplines and specialties. The main sleep and oral health issues that are covered in this review are snoring, obstructive sleep apnea and sleep bruxism. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches are required to manage oral health related sleep disorders which are commonly seen in dental practice.
