OVERVIEW

TMD and Snoring and Sleep Apnea is organized by Rondeau Seminars Limited and will be held from Apr 11 - 12, 2027 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Course Objectives:
TMD, snoring, and sleep apnea affect a large portion of adults but receive limited coverage in most dental and medical training. This course equips dentists with the practical skills and confidence to diagnose and manage TMD and sleep-disordered breathing.

Participants learn step-by-step protocols for evaluating TMD, fabricating daytime splints to reduce pain and joint noise, and designing nighttime appliances for clenching and grinding. The course also covers screening, patient education, and oral appliance therapy for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

Using real clinical cases, this program prepares dentists to address joint and airway health while meeting growing demand for effective, non-CPAP treatment options.
