To review the knowledge, attitude, and clinical practice of dentists and dental specialists toward obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

    Methods

    A literature search was performed on PubMed and ScienceDirect databases. Peer-reviewed English publications were reviewed. No time limit was applied.

    Results

    Four articles were included for the review. Years in the profession, specialist training, and gender were associated with the level of knowledge about OSA. Weight control was the most recognizable treatment for patients with OSA. Dentists agreed that OSA is a life-threatening disease, and they could be involved in detecting and treating OSA. Most dentists had no clinical experience of managing patients with OSA.

    Conclusion

    Dentists had a certain level of knowledge about OSA and were willing to deal with OSA. However, they lacked clinical experience. They were also enthusiastic about further education on OSA.
