Each month, Dr. Lou Shuman consults with a dental industry specialist to discuss the latest industry shifts, developments in dental technology, digital dentistry trends, marketing and more.

This month, Dr. Shuman sat down with Dr. Steve Carstensen, editor in chief of Dental Sleep Practice, to discuss technology that dental practitioners can use to address sleep-related breathing disorders. The topic is timely, given the American Dental Association (ADA) adopted a policy on dental treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders a few months ago. Dr. Carstensen is a widely revered expert in dental sleep medicine, having treated sleep apnea and snoring since 1998 at Premier Sleep, a private practice in Bellevue, Washington, where he focuses exclusively on providing dental sleep therapy.
