Index.

This is an outstanding book which reviews all aspects of what a practicing dentist needs to know. It addresses all the medical and dental information that you need to know before you begin treating patients who suffer from this problem. I also suggest you take Dr. John Tucker's course on which appliances to fabricate for your patients. 1 out of every 6 Americans suffer from sleep apnea, including myself. My appliance has literally changed my life.

By Henry Vruwink

A great collaboration of two excellent clinicians who always keep it evidence-based.
It's not often that authors of such stature individually will collaborate to our great benefit!
