Dental sleep medicine is a dynamic field focused on the relationship between oral health and sleep disorders, particularly sleep apnea. Dentists play a crucial role in diagnosing and treating sleep-related breathing issues. As awareness of the impact of sleep on overall health grows, the field is evolving rapidly with advancements in technology, diagnostic tools, and treatment modalities. Interdisciplinary collaboration between dentists, sleep physicians, and other health care professionals is becoming increasingly important. The integration of innovative approaches and a patient-centric focus make dental sleep medicine a pivotal player in addressing the complex interplay between oral health and sleep quality.

Objectives: Autistic children frequently exhibit irritability, which can manifest as aggression, self-injurious behaviour, and severe tantrums, leading to significant impairments. Two atypical antipsychotics have been licensed by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of irritability in autistic children, although a significant percentage of these children do not respond to this treatment. This study aimed to determine the frequency of drug refractory irritability (DRI) and identify the risk factors in a large clinical sample of autistic children.
