Doing “good science”: an ACSDD initiative

The Dental Sleep Medicine field continues to expand rapidly as increasing numbers of Dentists are becoming involved in the collaborative effort required to identify and manage sleep breathing disorders.

As the field grows, so too does the complexity of each practitioner’s needs.  The ACSDD is proud of its innovative continuing education and certification programs grounded in evidence-based clinical practice and current scientific research.

However, as more of our member dentists expand their scope of practice to include Dental Sleep Medicine, we want to ensure that that our members are aware of not only what the research says but also what’s happening policy-wise on a national and international level.

The ACSDD’s latest blog initiative, Good Science, is designed to keep our members up-to-date on the latest in Dental Sleep Medicine, specifically regarding the clinical research and scholarship dictating national and international healthcare policy that ultimately affects the Dental Sleep Medicine scope of practice.

We recognize the need for quality research and education in Dental Sleep Medicine as well as an understanding of the national and international healthcare policy from which the research derives.  This is why we are very excited about Good Science and its value to our members.
