The Emerging Importance of Dental Sleep Medicine (Part 2)
AASM & AADSM jointly published an Oral appliance therapy clinical guideline. It recommended that sleep physicians consider the prescription of oral appliances for adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as an alternative to CPAP therapy, while dentists use a custom, titratable oral appliance (OAT). …

SLEEP 2022 Highlight: Inspiring Keynote from Dr. Susan Redline – the complexities of sleep-disordered breathing and increased cardiovascular risk
It has been a long debate about whether sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) increases cardiovascular risk. During the keynote of SLEEP 2022, Dr. Susan Redline (MD, MPH, professor of sleep medicine and epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health) shared her findings on the physiologic impact of sleep apnea on stroke, hypertension and heart failure. The most insightful sharing from Dr. Redline is that we cannot rely on only one figure: AHI, as AHI does not identify sleep disruption autonomic stresses or phenotypic heterogeneity. Same AHI can have different: (1) duration and distribution of events; (2) Physiological consequences, including sleep fragmentation, hypoxic burden, pressure swings and autonomic cardiovascular (CV) responses. …

25 million people in the US have Obstructive Sleep Apnea
OSA is a commonly seen sleep disorder with life-threatening consequences. Still, we see its high undiagnosed rate due to the not-so-friendly screening environment: many wires connecting to the patients’ bodies and sleeping in an unfamiliar bedroom, a sleep laboratory, and charging at a high rate. All of these create a high barrier to the mass, whose perception is “OSA would wait” without realizing the damage to their hearts and brains in the long run. Instead, Belun focused on developing a handy wearable so that the public would do the test at home, on their own, with no technician required. …
