Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea is a highly prevalent disorder with significant adverse health impacts when left untreated. Dentists and physicians are in a position to identify and treat patients. Physicians have been historically resistant to prescribing dental devices despite evidence of efficacy and positive health outcomes with oral appliance treatment. This presentation aims to highlight some of the barriers to dentist and physician collaboration in the management of obstructive sleep apnea and ideas on how to overcome them.
