DARIEN, Ill.—More than 1,200 dentists and exhibitors from around the world gathered in Boston recently for the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM)'s 26th annual meeting.

The three-day event featured educational courses, sessions and lectures from top researchers and clinicians in dental sleep medicine, highlighted advances in oral appliance therapy, and honored top research in the field.
 
“The dental sleep medicine community continues to grow rapidly, and attending the AADSM annual meeting is the best way to share information and trends, as well as learn about advancements in dental sleep medicine,” said Harold A. Smith, DDS, president of the AADSM. “The research that was unveiled at this meeting helps to increase our understanding of signs that patients may be at risk for obstructive sleep apnea and how we can use oral appliance therapy to effectively treat them once they’ve been diagnosed by a sleep physician.”
 
The meeting provided an opportunity for dentists from across the globe to share new research on dental sleep medicine. This year’s winning research abstracts include one showing that a questionnaire may be effective in screening patients for sleep-disordered breathing and another that represents the longest follow-up study to date of side effects of oral appliance therapy.
