  2. WATCHPAT FOR DENTISTS ADA recommends every dental practice screen for sleep-related breathing disorders as a part of the comprehensive examination, including ongoing monitoring when supplying oral appliance therapy.3

  3. WATCHPAT FOR DENTISTS “The adopted policy statement outlines the role of dentists in treating sleep related breathing disorders. Key components include assessing a patient’s risk for SRBD as part of a comprehensive medical and dental history and referring affected patients to appropriate physicians; evaluating the appropriateness of OAT as prescribed by a physician and providing OAT for mild and moderate sleep apnea when a patient does not tolerate a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device; recognizing and managing OAT side effects; continually updating dental sleep medicine knowledge and training; and communicating patients’ treatment progress with the referring physician and other healthcare providers.”

  4. WATCHPAT FOR DENTISTS WatchPAT®️ is an innovative Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) that utilizes the peripheral arterial signal (PAT®️). It measures up to 7 channels (PAT®️ signal, heart rate, oximetry, actigraphy, body position, snoring, and chest motion) via three points of contact. Within one minute post-study, the raw data is downloaded and auto-scored identifying all types of apnea events. WatchPAT®️ provides AHI, AHIc, RDI, and ODI based upon True Sleep Time and Sleep Staging. WatchPAT®️ is clinically validated with an 89% correlation to PSG4. The PAT signal was included in the 2017 AASM Clinical Practice Guidelines as technically adequate.
