Obstructive sleep apnoea..how many of us treat it..??

[Anonymous]

Obstructive sleep apnoea or snoring in its mild to moderate form can be treated by prosthodontic appliances. However, not many of us get such patients may be due to ignorance on our part. I wouls request members about whether they treat such patients or just refer them to general medical practioners…

This is a neglected issue because of ignorance on the part of doctors and the patients as well…by doctors i mean dentists as well as the general physicians…most of the physicians do not suggest a dental remedy for this condition…but with increasing awareness these days i think many people will seek prosthetic treatment for this condition..

i recently came across a very interesting appliance for the above condition ata trade fair ., ., it was very similar to the tmj appliance . ,., i fail to recollect the product and company name ,. , ., it has definitely been a highly ignored part of medical/dental practice but as per the stall keeper, this condition is the cause for high BP in 57% of hypertensive patients ., ., this makes it a very critical preventive intervention to be implemented in practice ., ., but then i feel it also a case of ignorance on part of the patients. , ., no patient would come to a doctor/dentist with such a complaint and neither would it be easy to counsell him to undergo the therapy for the same ., .,
