Dental Sleep Medicine Pioneer
Formerly UNAM Sleep Disorders Clinic / Hospital General de Mexico · Academic Secretary, AMMD · Co-founder, RONQUIMEX
Dra. Emma Patricia Garcia Campos has dedicated more than 20 years to advancing the field of dental sleep medicine across Latin America. Her career has centered on the design, clinical validation, and dissemination of oral appliance therapies for obstructive sleep apnea and chronic snoring.
She designed the MAS-MEX mandibular advancement splint, a custom oral appliance developed specifically for the Latin American patient population. Her research on mandibular advancement outcomes has been published in SLEEP, one of the most respected peer-reviewed journals in sleep medicine (2017). She also contributed a chapter to Springer's Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Multidisciplinary Approach (2023), a comprehensive clinical reference used by sleep specialists worldwide.
Dra. Garcia Campos earned her MSc from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) in 2009 and holds certification from the Spanish Society of Oral Sleep Medicine. From 2001 to 2020, she served at the UNAM Sleep Disorders Clinic and Hospital General de Mexico, where she treated thousands of patients with sleep-disordered breathing using non-invasive oral appliance therapy.
She serves as Academic Secretary of the Academia Mexicana de Medicina del Dormir (AMMD) and is a co-founder of RONQUIMEX, an organization dedicated to increasing public awareness and clinical treatment of snoring and sleep apnea in Mexico.
"After two decades of designing and fitting mandibular advancement devices, I recognize good biomechanical engineering when I see it. The Snorple mouthpiece combines MAD and TSD principles in a way that reflects what the clinical literature has been pointing toward for years — that dual-mechanism approaches to airway stabilization produce superior outcomes. What sets Snorple apart is making this level of oral appliance therapy accessible to the millions of patients who will never visit a sleep dentistry clinic."
