2024;11(2) | Jean-François Masse, DMD, MSc, FACD, Diplomate, ABDSM
The article "What I Know For Sure" by Jean-François Masse, DMD, MSc, FACD, Diplomate, ABDSM, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dental Sleep Medicine, discusses the future of dental sleep medicine (DSM) in light of recent changes and advancements. Dr. Mitchell Levine, President of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM), initiated a meeting to explore new treatment options for sleep apnea and snoring. The meeting revealed differing perceptions among experts, leading to the formation of a task force led by Dr. Rose Sheets and Dr. Masse to review the scientific literature from the past decade. The task force's comprehensive review resulted in a report published in the Journal of Dental Sleep Medicine, offering guidance on treatments for both pediatric and adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring. While acknowledging the need for further research, the report provides valuable insights and recommendations based on existing evidence. The task force's findings have been well-received, with presentations at the SLEEP meeting and discussions in physician journals. The article emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and the evolving state of knowledge in DSM, encouraging community discussions about the future of the profession. Dr. Masse expresses gratitude to Dr. Sheets for her leadership in this extensive work.The article "What I Know For Sure" by Jean-François Masse, DMD, MSc, FACD, Diplomate, ABDSM, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dental Sleep Medicine, discusses the future of dental sleep medicine (DSM) in light of recent changes and advancements.
