Dr. Francisco Marcano, of Sarasota Center for General Dentistry, recently became designated as a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
The board is the leading national testing organization for dentists who treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy. Earning Diplomate status from the ABDSM is an honor that recognizes special competency in dental sleep medicine.
While CPAP is the standard treatment for sleep apnea, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine estimates up to 50 percent of sleep apnea patients do not comply with or tolerate CPAP.
In contrast to a CPAP machine, an oral appliance is a mouth guard-like device worn only during sleep to maintain an open, unobstructed airway. Patients like oral appliance therapy because it is comfortable, easy to wear, quiet, portable and easy to care for.
Marcano was born in Puerto Rico and obtained his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Puerto Rico School of Dentistry. He is an alumni of the Hornbrook Group, the world’s leading organization for clinical excellence in cosmetic dentistry.
