Dental sleep medicine traditionally focuses on sleep-related breathing disorders, such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. However, everyday practice shows that also other sleep disorders touch on dentistry, including sleep-related orofacial pain, xerostomia, hypersalivation, gastroesophageal reflux disease and bruxism. A new definition, which covers all the diagnostic and treatment aspects of these disorders, has therefore been formulated for dental sleep medicine. This article describes why this development started and sketches the current state of affairs regarding the discipline of dental sleep medicine. The different dental sleep disorders are also described briefly, with special focus on the more remarkable associations between them.
传统上，牙科睡眠医学专注于与睡眠相关的呼吸障碍，如打鼾和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。然而，日常实践表明，其他睡眠障碍也与牙科相关，包括与睡眠相关的口面部疼痛、口干、唾液过多、胃食管反流病和磨牙症。因此，已经为牙科睡眠医学制定了一个涵盖这些疾病所有诊断和治疗方面的新定义。本文描述了这一发展的起因，并概述了牙科睡眠医学学科的现状。还简要介绍了不同的牙科睡眠障碍，特别关注它们之间更显著的关联。
