Millions of people suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The apparent medical implications of this disorder are multiple. Although the most effective treatment for this problem is positive airway pressure (PAP), many patients do not adapt well to this form of therapy. Oral appliance therapy, although less effective, is a more easily tolerated treatment. The integration of sleep medicine and oral appliance services presents an innovative new approach to treating sleep apnea. As physicians and dentists consider the oral appliance treatment alternative, questions abound. What are the patient management and insurance ramifications? What specific clinical expertise is required? How do dentists and physicians integrate diagnostic and treatment protocol and procedures? The Medical Dental Guild's new Sleep Medicine and Oral Appliance Therapy manual provides physicians and dentists essential, concise information as they consider adding oral appliance therapy services to their existing practices. To optimize the use and effectiveness, the practitioner must be adequately informed. Sleep Medicine and Oral Appliance Therapy breaks down bureaucratic and clinical conundrums allowing successful integration of new technologies and services. The field of sleep medicine presents a unique opportunity for physicians and dentists. With the help of the Medical Dental Guild, providers can explore this new opportunity with the confidence that comes from comprehensive understanding.

Educates dental practitioners seeking to understand, recognize, and manage disorders such as sleep apnea, sleep bruxism, and chronic pain, which often interfere with or intrude into sleep and are critically important to the practice of dentistry. Leading experts in medicine and dentistry articulate and guide readers in performing the specific responsibilities of dental practitioners, such as routinely examining patients for the risk of sleep-disordered breathing; providing guidance and appropriate referrals to patients who report snoring, sleepiness, and morning headache; managing the tooth damage or pain generated by bruxism; knowing when to prescribe oral appliances and understanding their associated risks; and collaborating closely with maxillofacial surgeons or ENT specialists when surgery is indicated. This unique book is a rapid source of practical information for students, practicing dentists, and researchers who wish to expand their knowledge base on this important topic. [editor].

Adequate sleep is essential for our work and safety, yet the importance of disorders of sleep in causing symptoms and impairment of quality of life has only recently been appreciated. Awareness of these conditions among general physicians is limited, a situation perpetuated by the lack of teaching on the topic that both undergraduate medical students and postgraduate doctors in training receive. 'Clinicians' Guide to Sleep Medicine' puts the subject into context for the GP and general hospital physician, presenting the current knowledge of sleep related problems and their treatments in an accessible manner. Topics covered include sleep apnoea / hypnoea syndrome, narcolepsy, snoring, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, night terrors, and sleep walking. Investigation of patients with sleep disorders, and rational selection of therapy are also considered. With a balanced, readable style and clear explanatory illustrations, this book will enable practising physicians to draw on the experience of an acknowledged international expert in the field and deal with the common sleep disorders with understanding and confidence.

"The importance of sleep for well-being and general and mental health is increasingly being recognized. Sleep complaints are commonly associated with mental disorders and are even part of the diagnostic criteria for some of them, such as mood and anxiety disorders and PTSD. The relationship between sleep and psychiatric disorders is intertwined and, in some cases, bidirectional. Anxiety, psychosis, and depression often result in reduced sleep quality (sleep fragmentation, experience of unpleasant, unrefreshing sleep), quantity (increased or reduced), or pattern (changes in sleep schedule, loss of sleep consistency). Reciprocally, sleep disorders can contribute to the exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms and independently affect the prognosis. Finally, most psychotropic drugs have an effect on sleep and arousal and can aggravate a preexisting sleep abnormality. This book aims to familiarize readers with current knowledge on the mutual effects of sleep and mental health and provide an integrated framework for students, clinicians, and researchers. Throughout its 18 chapters, it discusses the six main categories of sleep disorders: insomnia (Chapters 3-5), hypersomnia (Chapters 6-7), sleep-disordered breathing (Chapters 8-11), circadian disorders (Chapters 12-13), parasomnias (Chapters 14-16), and sleep-related movement disorders (Chapters 17-18)"--
