Summary

The interactions between common types of sleep disorders represent a rapidly evolving area of interdisciplinary research and clinical practice with significant impact on orofacial and general health. Sleep bruxism, orofacial pain, insomnia, and obstructive sleep apnea are distinct conditions with overlapping pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic considerations. Understanding their interplay is crucial for advancing patient care and improving quality of life. The proposed symposium brings together experts to review and discuss the complex associations between sleep bruxism, orofacial pain, insomnia, and obstructive sleep apnea. By promoting research and clinical collaboration among sleep medicine specialists, dental practitioners, psychologists, and other stakeholders, this symposium seeks to highlight shared pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, and interdisciplinary management strategies.
