Study Objectives: Information on the efficacy of the combination therapy (CT) of positive airway pressure (PAP) with oral appliance (OA), and the connection between PAP mask and OA in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is lacking. The goal of the study was to clarify the efficacy of CT with and without connector regarding self-reported side effects and sleepiness. Methods: Twenty-eight patients with OSA who had previously experienced both solo-PAP and OA therapy were allocated to either CT of PAP and OA with connector (Connected-CT) or CT of PAP and OA without connector (Disconnected-CT). Participants reported the frequency of 17 different types of side effects, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and short version of the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ-10), both at baseline and at the 2-month follow-up. PAP data such as respiratory event index, PAP pressure, and mask leak were obtained from devices at t follow-up, and compared with those during solo-PAP therapy.

Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a largely undiagnosed and untreated sleep disorder with public health implications. This study investigated whether dentists were as knowledgeable about OSA as physicians. Methods: Two convenience samples of California dentists were surveyed online (N=107) and in-person (N=63) between January and April 2019 using the 18 knowledge items from the validated Obstructive Sleep Apnea Knowledge and Attitudes (OSAKA) Questionnaire. California dentists’ total score was then compared to a compilation of published physicians’ total OSA-knowledge scores from 12 studies (2003-2020) using Chi-square tests with Bonferroni adjusted p < 0.0023. OSA-knowledge gaps and competencies were also compared on individual item data provided for nine of the published physician studies. Results: Mean total correct OSA-knowledge scores were 73.6% for California dentists (N=170) and 63.9% across all physicians (N=2,559); scores were 84.5% for Canadian otolaryngology residents (N=66), 75.6% for U.S. physicians (N=305), and 62.3% for all other non-U.S. physicians (N=2,188). The all-physician group had more knowledge gaps than dentists. Conclusion: Dentists had noninferior knowledge of OSA compared with most physician groups. Findings suggest that dentists may serve to increase the number of healthcare providers able to identify and treat patients with OSA, mitigating this healthcare gap. Suboptimal sleep medicine and OSA training in medical and dental education remains a challenge, perpetuating the public health ramifications of underdiagnosed and undertreated OSA. Clinical Implications: Engaging more dentists to identify patients at risk for OSA at the point of care and treat or refer patients for treatment, as appropriate, helps meet this public health need.
