Abstrakt: Sleep complaints are frequently reported by patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). This review aims to offer dental practitioners and allied specialties a basic understanding of sleep quality, measure it subjectively and objectively and common sleep disturbances that are present in TMD patients. Guidance in identifying and managing patients with TMD and comorbid sleep‐related complaints will be provided as well. Dentists should be able to screen sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep disordered breathing (apnoea, snoring) or sleep bruxism, and to refer patients to the appropriate specialist when necessary. Individualised management and a multidisciplinary approach must be pursued when managing patients with TMD and comorbid sleep disturbances and/or sleep disorders, such as insomnia or obstructive sleep apnoea.
