GM – Throwdown! Sleepless in Sacramento

Throwdown! Sleepless in Sacramento: The Battle Against Sleep Disorder Breathing (In-person course)

3 CEU, Core • Member Price: $85 early / $95 regular / $99 late

Sleep Disorder Breathing (SDB) is a growing concern in the public health arena. Join us as we discuss the complex etiology behind airway resistance and pharyngeal collapse. Just as there are many factors that contribute to airway disorders, there are equally diverse treatment modalities available. We will review evidence-based treatment options that include lifestyle management, CPAP, soft-tissue surgery, skeletal surgery, and oral appliances. As treatment options expand, it is evident the dentist plays an important role in managing SDB. We will discuss how far this role extends and how you can help identify and treat airway patients.

Course Objectives:

• Understand the importance of identifying and evaluating SDB/OSAS
• How to effectively screen patients for SDB/OSA in the dental office and when to refer.
• Learn more about the complex etiology of SDB/OSA and the treatment options available (surgical and non-surgical)
• Review effective multidisciplinary management of SBD/OSA and the role of the dentist as a member of this team
