Going digital in dental sleep medicine
Abstract
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is a highly debilitating condition whereby the walls of the upper airway relax during sleep and obstruct breathing, leading to interrupted sleep. Treatment involves the fabrication of a special dental appliance that prevents the airway closing, something which is considerably easier when using a digital intraoral scanner with high precision such as the CS 3600 from Carestream Dental.
