Sleep Medicine for Dentists: An Evidence-based Overview

Sleep medicine has entered the dental practice in earnest: breathing disorders, bruxism and pain share neurobiological mechanisms that are worth understanding before treating. Coordinated by Lavigne, Cistulli and Smith, this volume brings together short, evidence-based chapters written by specialists from medicine and from dentistry. Its orientation is eminently practical: helping the dentist to screen, to treat within their competence and to refer where appropriate, with attention to the cognitive behavioural approaches that are gaining ground. An English-language update, in its second edition, for anyone treating patients with apnoea, bruxism or orofacial pain.
