We’re excited to be continuing our 3D Sleep Webinar Series – a monthly program designed to help dentists and their teams build confidence, improve communication, and achieve better outcomes in dental sleep medicine.
This session provides a practical overview of sleep studies, including when to order them, how to interpret key metrics, and when to refer to a Sleep Physician for further assessment. We will also review real-world examples and outline clear referral pathways to ensure safe, evidence-based patient management.

You’ll Learn:
- How to clearly explain what a sleep study is, what it measures, and why objective testing is essential before diagnosing or managing snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
- How to differentiate between types of sleep studies, including in-lab polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnoea testing (HSAT), and when each is appropriate.
- How to identify which patients require a sleep study based on symptoms, risk factors, and medical comorbidities.
- How to recognise red flags that warrant referral to a Sleep Physician for in-lab PSG rather than home testing.
- How to interpret key sleep study metrics and understand what they mean clinically.
- How to review and discuss sample sleep study reports (including WatchPAT examples) with confidence.
- How to organise a sleep study through different referral pathways.
