OVERVIEW

This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 22.5 CE Credit Hours (12 Hours Participation, 10.5 Hours Lecture).
Course Description :
This two-day program presents an excellent introduction to evidence-based Dental Sleep Medicine and is designed to prepare dentists and their teams to confidently identify, refer and help co-manage patients with snoring and deadly obstructive sleep apnea. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the relationships between sleep breathing disorders, Physiologic Dentistry, and health. They can discover how to get started, immediately expanding their diagnostic acumen and scope of practice.
The goal of this course is for all participating dentists to become the Dental Sleep Physicians that medical sleep specialists want and need to recognize and refer patients. The possibility of knowing what to do about OSA when you return to your office on Monday morning should encourage you to experience this course!
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) has been linked to Cardiovascular Disease, Cerebrovascular Insult, Endocrine Disorders, and Obesity. Our medical colleagues are asking for our help, NOW! OSA is considered a disease of craniofacial anatomy so the ONUS is on dentists to identify and help manage OSA sufferers.
Course Objectives are :
• How to take a Physiologic Sleep Bite.
• Discuss sleep and breathing physiology; normal and pathologic.
• Discuss the anatomy and physiology of airway and its relationship to OSA and TMD.
• Integrate OSA signs and symptoms into routine dental diagnostics.
• Identify and differentiate OSA sufferers versus snorers with 99% accuracy.
• Discuss why The Physiologic Approach is important.
• Perform OSA Consultation examination/palpation.
• Select what is needed in snoring and OSA appliances.
• Utilize Combination Therapy – Jointly treating both TMD and OSA at the same time.
• Develop the skills to make OSA more practical, efficient and profitable.
