What You’ll Learn?

Statistics show that over 25% of current dental patient population suffer from undiagnosed Sleep Related Breathing Disorders. These SRBDs such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea have been shown to have direct consequences on heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, depression, chronic pain syndromes and many more adverse health issues. Dentists have the unique opportunity to be the first gateway to screen these patients for upper air way obstructions and for SRBDs. In fact, this is now considered an essential screening process by American Dental Association and various dental organizations all over the world. Once dentists realize the important role they play in Sleep Medicine, in Sleep Related Breathing Disorders and in development of airway space, there would be no going back. Dentists are physicians of the mouth and this is going beyond the 32 teeth and moving on to improving health and saving lives. This course will teach different management perspectives on conditions that dentists deal with on a daily basis in their practices like bruxism, generalized attrition, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, chronic orofacial pain, immune response, periodontal disease, etc. We will learn how sleep disorders influence and are frequently comorbid conditions for above. In children physiology of sleep and clinical presentations of sleep disorders is different from that of adults, so is the treatment protocols. So Pediatric Sleep Medicine will be a separate course, along with craniofacial and airway space development.
