Dr. Jonathan Lown, nationally recognized sleep physician, will educate dentists on a detailed medical exam for OSA patients. His goal is to educate dentists through his clinical knowledge and expertise to obtain a deeper level of understanding of the OSA patient.

Most “modern” orthodontic techniques are still retractive in nature. They can (unintentionally) decrease the size of the airway which may have a negative impact on patient health. During this course Dr. Hang will share orthodontic techniques that protect and, in many cases, enlarge the airway (which can eliminate snoring and OSA). This course is about how dentists and orthodontists can prevent and reverse the detrimental effects of retraction.  If you are an orthodontist worried about “Straight Teeth in a Box” or a Dentist who wants to have a more positive impact on patient health (and perform more restorative work), this course is for you!

This course teaches how to effectively utilize CBCT technology in your practice for sleep and airway patients. See various techniques to help analyze periodontal and joint structure. Learn how CBCT can boost case acceptance with sleep patients. Utilize CBCT scans when referring to physicians.

Review all the potential uses for CBCT in your dental practice, ranging from Implantology, to Orthodontics, to Temporomandibular Joint and to Sinus and Airway Analysis.  You will learn how to utilize CBCT as it relates to dental sleep medicine. You will also learn effective protocols and information on the management of OSA patients. Dr. Tucker will go through his process of purchasing a CBCT and how he uses it in his dental and sleep medicine practice.

Some of the most dangerous machinery should have the people behind them health and alert.

This webinar will help dentists who treat sleep apnea learn how to utilize CBCT technology to analyze the anatomy of an OSA patient. The focus will be on identifying the site of narrowing within the pharynx and helping the prediction of oral appliance therapy outcome. Anatomy will be discussed and described from a CBCT perspective. Screening for other problems within the sinuses and appropriate referral will be discussed. The webinar will also discuss Dr. Morgan’s opinions on potential causes of airway collapse.
