17th Annual American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine

Over 650 dentists attended the 17th Annual American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine.

The Academy has been offering continuing education in the sleep medicine field for dentists in working with oral appliance therapy for patients who snore and suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.

The lecturers presented information on Cardiovascular Complications of Sleep Apnea, The Relationship Between Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea and Obesity, Airway Imaging, Dynamic and Static Evaluation of the Upper Airway and Its Role in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Management, and Efficacy of Oral Appliance Therapy as an Adjunct to CPAP.

It is critical that when you choose a dentist to treat your obstructive sleep apnea that you ensure that your choice has received the proper education and training.
