Читать книгу Dental Management of Sleep Disorders - Ronald Attanasio - Страница 69

A classification system assists with the development of a differential diagnosis of various health and medically related disorders. There are currently four classification systems for sleep disorders that should be considered:

1 Diagnostic Classification of Sleep and Arousal Disorders (DCSAD) [2]

2 International Classification of Diseases (ICD‐10) [3]

3 Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) [4]

4 International Classification of Sleep Disorders, Third Edition (ICSD‐3) [1]

For the sake of clarity and simplicity, the ICSD‐3 will be the primary focus for the classification of sleep disorders that the dentist, especially when involved in the care and management of patients with a sleep‐related breathing disorder (SRBD), will most commonly encounter and utilize. It must be kept in mind that the recognition of a sleep disorder does not mean that the dentist is making the diagnosis. The intent here is that by recognizing that a sleep disorder may be present the dentist is establishing the risk for such a disorder and by doing so can then make the appropriate referral for a more definitive diagnosis and subsequent treatment as is deemed necessary.
