Overview
Educational Aims
Evidence based medicine has been described
as a combination of good science and clinical experience. The absence of either
can be detrimental in a dental sleep practice. It is imperative that clinicians
understand the definitions, benefits, and shortcomings of each so they can
properly evaluate patient outcomes, relevant literature, and provide optimal
care. Synthesizing information through these two lenses will empower clinicians
to critically assess information about parafunction, sleep disordered
breathing, and any relationships between the two.
