Sleep apnea is a significant sleep related breathing disorder that can adversely affect overall health, quality of life, and daily functioning. With increasing awareness of its systemic consequences, the role of dentistry has expanded beyond conventional oral rehabilitation to include innovative approaches for the management of sleep disordered breathing.

From Teeth to Breath: Prosthodontic Solutions for Sleep Apnea presents a concise overview of the prosthodontic role in the diagnosis, management, and supportive care of patients with obstructive sleep apnea. The dissertation highlights the importance of oral appliance therapy, mandibular advancement devices, patient selection, clinical considerations, and the interdisciplinary collaboration between prosthodontists, sleep physicians, ENT specialists, Pedodontics and other healthcare professionals.

Compiled from contemporary scientific literature and established prosthodontic principles, this work aims to provide a practical academic resource for students, clinicians, and educators. It emphasizes the evolving role of prosthodontics in sleep medicine and the importance of evidence based, patient centered treatment planning for improving sleep quality, functional outcomes, and overall quality of life.

It is hoped that this publication will enhance awareness of the dental management of sleep apnea and encourage greater integration of prosthodontics within multidisciplinary sleep care.
