Treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea:

Dentistry’s Role (the Medical Model)

The number of claims related to implant

complications has increased significantly

over the last few years. In addition,

complications associated with implant

surgery can have a devastating effect on the

final outcome of treatment. This lecture

course will focus on how to identify and avoid

potential complications before they arise and

how to manage many of the common

complications that can occur with implant

therapy. Emphasis will be given to medicolegal

implications, patient risk assessment,

classifications of complications, and proper

treatment planning principles. At the end of

this course, participants will have a better

understanding of the prevention and management of complications related to implant therapy.

Precision, Productivity and Profitability of Implant Prosthetics in

Private Practice

This scientifically based, fast-moving presentation designed for private practice will cover state-
of-the-art topics, tips, and tricks, and step-by-step techniques in implant prosthetics. A systematic

approach to ideal esthetic treatment from single-tooth replacement to edentulous treatment will

be presented, emphasizing long-term stability, predictability and profitability in private practice.

This program is designed for the entire implant team, stressing ideal interaction for simplification

of even the most advanced esthetic cases, with reduced chairtime and increased profitability.

Topics in fixed and removable implant prosthetics will be addressed, focusing on predictable

treatment planning; provisionalization and soft tissue esthetics; occlusal schemes and simplified

overdentures; and implant-retained partial dentures from start to finish, including foolproof fee

determination and patient presentation techniques. Also included will be a complete overview of

the newest technology to gain comfort and confidence in incorporating the benefits of CAD/CAM

and zirconium materials.

Learning objectives

• Gain confidence and predictability with state-of-the-art implant techniques

• Update knowledge of current concepts and materials in implant dentistry

• Integrate advanced techniques into private practice with simplification

Allow more patients to benefit from implant-based treatment through ideal fee

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a common but often un-recognized medical disorder caused

by pharyngeal collapse during deep stages of sleep and is characterized by frequent awakenings, disrupted

sleep, snoring, consequent excessive daytime sleepiness. With the increasing epidemic of obesity, the most important risk factor

for OSA, prevalence of the disease will increase over the coming years thus representing an important public-health problem. It is

now recognized that there is an association between OSA and hypertension, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart failure, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, stroke, pulmonary hypertension, neuro-cognitive and mood disorders, diabetes, interruption of

daytime alertness, and other significant health issues. Diagnosis is based on the combined evaluation of clinical manifestations and objective sleep study findings. Cardinal symptoms include snoring, sleepiness and significant reports of sleep apnea episodes.

Polysomnography (sleep study) represents the gold standard to confirm the condition is assesses its severity and to guide

therapeutic choices. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment method of treatment but is poorly accepted or tolerated by patients. In 2006 American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) in the journal “SLEEP” declared oral

appliances are next in line for treatment if the patient cannot tolerate CPAP.

Learning objectives:

•Definition of OSA

•Medical conditions caused by OSA

•Diagnosis (sleep studies)

•Treatment (CPAP)

•Role of dentists providing Oral Appliance therapy

•Types of oral appliances

•How to learn more about providing this care
