About Us

The Pioneering Association of Dental Sleep Medicine in Turkey

The Turkish Dental Sleep Association (DHUD) is Turkey’s first professional association, established to bring together dentists involved in the dental treatment of sleep-related respiratory disorders, particularly snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Sleep medicine is increasingly establishing itself as a growing multidisciplinary field. The role of dentistry in this field is rapidly evolving into a growing practice area worldwide, particularly due to its capacity to offer alternative or complementary treatments to CPAP using mandibular advancement devices (MADs). DHUD aims to ensure that dentists in Turkey participate in this transformation in a competent and certified manner.
