OSA in de mondzorg: inzichten uit een lezersenquête
Abstract
A recent NTVT reader survey (n = 75) shows that oral healthcare professionals increasingly acknowledge obstructive sleep apnoea as part of their field. 73% consider screening for OSA a dentist s role, 80% believe this competency should be included in the curriculum, and 87% are positive about collaboration with medical specialists. At the same time, only 57% feel sufficiently equipped to recognize obstructive sleep apnoea, and just 27% have insight into its prevalence in their own practice. Willingness to pursue further training is high (72%). These findings, summarized in an infographic, demonstrate that dental sleep medicine is evolving from a niche area into a fully integrated part of general dentistry.
