Dentists in the dark? study probes sleep training gaps in italian dental schools
NCT ID NCT07624110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will survey directors of dental programs at Italian universities to find out if sleep medicine is part of the curriculum. The goal is to understand how much future dentists learn about sleep-disordered breathing like sleep apnea. About 70 program directors will answer a questionnaire, and the results will help identify gaps in education.
