Moving beyond Sleep DentistryInterdisciplinary Resolution Strategies for our Airway Patients

Dentistry’s future is Airway. Dentists and dental hygienists can detect the dental damage of sleep fragmentation and airway insufficiency every day in practice. Malocclusion, wear, erosion, attachment loss, muscle pain, and fracture can all be linked to a difficulty in managing the airway. The systemic and neurocognitive alteration (ADHD) are even more destructive. The 21st century practitioner must be forward thinking in not only controlling the disease with a mandibu-lar advancement appliance, but also how to most effectively resolve the medical and dental co-morbidities of airway/sleep insufficiency. Dr. Rouse will introduce an Autonomic Nervous SSystem (ANS) Trial that will lead the dentists to a strategy for resolution and proper referrals. Case studies to assist practitioners in working with medical and dental colleagues in defining an interdisciplinary resolution strategy will be presented.

Description

• Understand the airway/sleep-disease connection and the role of the dental team

• Learn treatment options from ENT to myofunctional therapy

• Define a resolution strategy based on the patients’ response to the ANS Trial
