Sleep medicine education hours in U.S. dental curricula has more than doubled over the past 16 years, with ~88% of responding programs including sleep medicine instruction for an average of ~8 hours. Gaps remain in screening, triage and clinical management, which were lacking in about 50% of programs, highlighting areas for improvement.
