Dr Glassman serves as the Director of Education for Dedicated Sleep, a medical specialty company that helps provide patient centered diagnosis and treatment for patients with any type of sleep disturbed breathing as well as those with orofacial pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, headache, and other trigminally mediated pain.
After much consideration, it has decided that this is the last year for our Glassman Seminars courses as they now are presented. While it saddens me, it has been a great run, and all good things come to an end. Don and I will continue to study together, and we will be here to support many of you as we do today for years to come (hopefully!) We continue to work with Dedicated Sleep, and we very well may be teaching courses sponsored by Dedicated, lecture when invited, and teaching with other groups. I will continue to teach in England and where I am invited annually, but this will be the last year I’ll be managing and administrating our course series in dental sleep medicine and occlusion, orofacial pain, and joint dysfunction.
We have been approached by an organization that has expressed interest in producing our courses in the future, and that remains a possibility. The management and administration of the courses has just become too extensive, and we would consider continuing maintaining scientific authenticity and eliminating course administration. If and when that becomes a reality, that will be announced immediately.
“You led me towards the path that gave me more clarity to my purpose, opened my mind to be a critical thinker by challenging the status quo, and touched my heart and soul with your unconditional passion for bringing out the best in your students while engaging in meaningful conversations. Thank you for believing in me and inspiring me to continue my journey of constant never-ending improvement.“
“It is not what is poured into the student, but what is planted that counts.”
“Thank you for planting the seeds of knowledge and creative imagination while instilling hope and love of learning.”
Dr. Sirisha Krishnamurthy
25 years ago, I sat in your courses absorbing every word. I didn’t just learn how to make splints. I learned how to think. I learned how to slow down, diagnose properly, respect the joint, understand muscle physiology, and never reduce complex problems into simple explanations.
You taught us that occlusion is not about appliances.
It’s about biology.
It’s about load and adaptation.
It’s about understanding the whole patient.
A splint is not magic plastic. It is a diagnostic and orthopedic tool. It allows us to observe, deprogram, protect, test hypotheses, and respect the system before we intervene permanently. That mindset changed my entire career.
Everything I do today in my practice, every complex case I evaluate, every TMD patient I approach with caution and depth, is rooted in the foundation you gave me decades ago.
In a world where dentistry is often reduced to marketing language and quick conclusions, your voice continues to remind us to stay evidence-based, thoughtful, and humble in front of the complexity of the human system.
I am forever grateful to be your student. Thank you for raising my standards and shaping the way I practice dentistry.
Goal: To provide high quality evidence-based and clinically relevant support in the areas of dental sleep medicine and orofacial pain. The purpose of this group is to provide direct clinical support or to answer specific clinically relevant questions. Attendance at our bi-monthly private zoom meetings will provide many answers to clinical questions and allow members to participate in high level evidence-based sessions improving their risk/benefit decision making and their clinical level of expertise. The sessions occur at 8 PM Eastern time the first Wednesday of every month Note: January 2025’s meeting will be on January 8th. At each session there will be a short presentation of a relevant topic in sleep or pain, followed by either case presentations or questions and answers. Participants have open mics and can participate in discussions. Participants may share their screens if they have photos of cases with questions they’d like to discuss.

“Barry provides a patient-centered, evidenced based approach to the proper diagnosis and treatment of Craniofacial Pain and Sleep Disorders.”
“Dr. Barry Glassman is a passionate and knowledgeable educator who prides himself by ‘keeping it ‘real.’ His evidenced based programs provide exactly what you need to know to confidently implement the management of both orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine in your practice.”
“As an educator who teaches occlusion, it has taken me a lifetime to understand everything we have taught about occlusion has been based on a cookie cutter approach based on anecdotal observations. The unintended consequence has been the creation of occlusal camps teaching concepts without any scientific rationale. Correct diagnosis and treatment decisions demands a complete understanding of the medical model, and this means unlearning many of these engrained myths. Dr. Barry Glassman teaches honest evidenced based, global concepts that will provide you with the ability to see past these occlusion-based fallacies and allow you to provide the best treatment for your patients.”
