James D Bates
Texas Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Dallas, USA
S
leep-disordered breathing is a hot topic in dentistry and medicine today. Dentists are in a unique position to screen for,
diagnose and treat their patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). OSA is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition
which can result in hypertension, congestive heart failure and even death. This presentation will cover the screening, diagnosis
and contemporary management of sleep-disordered breathing in a comprehensive format, both for the general restorative
dentist, the orthodontist and the oral and maxillofacial surgical specialists. From the medical history and clinical examination,
to radiographic and diagnostic imaging findings, to a detailed discussion of the clinical polysomnogram and sleep medicine
consultation referral, to mandibular advancement oral appliance therapy and CPAP therapy, to upper airway surgery including
uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), laser-assisted uvuloplasty (LAUP), nasal septoplasty, inferior turbinectomy, tonsillectomy
and adenoidectomy, radiofrequency tongue and soft palate ablation, to maxillomandibular advancement and genioglossus
advancement, to tongue and hyoid suspension, this presentation will provide direct and practical real life ways to improve the
health and prolong the life of your patients with maximal fulfilment in return.
