SleepScout’s role in Dental Sleep Medicine
February 5th, 2010 by Jerusha MichaelCleveMed’s SleepScout is a compact, portable sleep monitor used to aid in assessment of sleep disordered breathing outside the traditional sleep lab: in a hospital setting (with iPSG™), or typically perfect for self-administered home sleep testing (even remotely attended with DreamPort™) right in the patient’s home. But here is another way to use the SleepScout: Dentists with an interest in sleep, snoring (sleep disordered breathing), and remedies for snoring through oral appliances and surgeries can use SleepScout to perform take-home sleep tests for their patients.
- Here’s why the SleepScout is a great option when considering a sleep recorder for the dental office:
- SleepScout uses AASM recommended Type 3 channel set
- SleepScout’s accessories are very cost-effective
- SleepScout can monitor effectiveness of treatment with CPAP and oral appliances
- SleepScout gives an easy-to-read report with auto-scoring of respiratory events
- SleepScout records EMG to monitor Bruxism
- With SleepScout you have next day results
These are just a few reasons to consider the SleepScout, and you can read more details here. Also, see a sample report from the SleepScout portable sleep monitor at www.CleveMed.com/DentalSleep. And if you haven’t seen the SleepScout overview video, check it out!

Miss Micheal our practice has been using portable sleep equipment for some time now aND I for one would have to agree with you. My patients are also quite happy with this method as well. “Anything not to spend time away from home”
Thanks
