I am Patricia Fernández Sanjuán, PhD in Health Sciences, and an expert in Dental Sleep Medicine accredited by the Spanish Federation of Sleep Medicine Societies (FESMES) and certified by the European Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (EADSM). I currently serve as President of the Spanish Society of Dental Sleep Medicine (SEMDeS), and I am a board member of both FESMES and EADSM. I also collaborate with the Maxillofacial and Dentistry Working Group of the Spanish Sleep Society (SES) and with the World Dentofacial Sleep Society (WDSS).

My research activity focuses on sleep-related disorders, particularly snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, within the Sleep-Disordered Breathing Unit at Hospital La Zarzuela in Madrid. My research line is centered on diagnosis and personalized treatment from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating dentistry and sleep medicine. Clinically, I work closely with multidisciplinary teams to treat patients suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders.

I am the Creator of the "Mandibular Advancement Selector" (SAM), a device designed to assist in the selection of patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea who may be suitable candidates for treatment with Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs).

I have authored publications in international journals, book chapters, and monographs in the field of sleep-related breathing disorders, and regularly participates in national and international courses and scientific conferences.
