Seventy per cent of the schools included dental sleep medicine as part of their curriculum, with an average total teaching time of 2.6\u2009h. Dentists who sat the Fellow of dental sleep medicine examination spent on average 87\u2009h preparing for the examination. All dental schools included discussion on pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnoea and oral appliance therapy, but did not adequately discuss advanced sleep medicine topics, clinical aspects in treatment planning or contemporary dental sleep medicine topics, whereas dentists that completed the Fellow of dental sleep medicine examination gained knowledge in all aspects of the
