How to Evaluate and Treat Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Expanding Your Practice into the Newest Area of Dentistry


This presentation will provide an excellent, comprehensive overview of snoring and OSA from the dental perspective. Use of oral appliances for treatment of snoring and OSA is growing rapidly as our understanding of the problem and the effectiveness of these devices becomes more evident. This humorous, fast-paced presentation will give you the practical clinical information you need to immediately start working with your patients (and their spouses) who are suffering with these sleep disorders. As public awareness of these sleep disorders continues to increase, the role of the dentist in identifying and treating snoring and OSA becomes more important. You will learn the current state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options to accurately evaluate the patient and a step-by-step approach to appropriately treat the patient with an oral appliance therapy program.
