The British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine (BSDSM).
The BSocDSM will be launched at a two-day residential
sleep seminar 'An exploration of Dental Sleep Medicine and the
role of the GDP' in Oxford on Friday 29th - Saturday 30th April
2005. Details can be found at
www.zsa.co.uk. Practitioners interested in the treatment of
anti-social snoring and OSA with dental appliances are urged to register
for what we believe should be a most informative and stimulating course.
The BSocDSM wishes to promote research on the use of oral appliances for
the treatment of sleep disordered breathing and intends to provide
training and resources for those who work directly with patients. The
BSDSM members intend to collaborate with colleagues to learn about
oral appliances and the role they play in the recognition and treatment
of sleep-related breathing disorders. The society wishes to build
bridges and form relationships with the medical community, especially in
sleep centres, and other professional groups who play an integral part
of the sleep disorders treatment and research team.
The BSocDSM intends to help educate practitioner Dentists through
clinical meetings that keep leading-edge ideas accessible and establish
and maintain appropriate treatment protocol. The
BSDSM also intends to reach out to the community at large, working
towards the creation of a positive public awareness of sleep disorders
and the role of the Dentist in recognition and treatment of sleep
breathing disorders.
