Article Abstract

The clinical spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing comprises a range of diverse conditions including obstructive sleep apnoea, central sleep apnoea and sleep-related hypoventilation syndromes. These distinct conditions have specific diagnostic features and are managed differently from one another. Therefore, it is useful for dental practitioners to have a working knowledge of sleep-disordered breathing beyond that of uncomplicated obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). This review paper summarizes the diagnosis and management of commonly encountered clinical sleep-disordered breathing syndromes, with a particular focus on management from a dental perspective.
