Understanding Screening and Diagnosis Technology for Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders
Dentists are playing an increasing role in screening patients for sleep-related breathing disorders and referring them for further testing to obtain diagnosis. Understanding the different technologies that are available to use in the dentist’s office to screen, as well as those that are used by medical sleep doctors to diagnose sleep-related breathing disorders is important to be able to communicate with patients as dentists implement screening programs.
Airway Therapy for the Primary Care Dental Team
An overview of sleep disordered breathing and what the dental team can do about it. We start with the basics: sleep, dental appliances, how to work with sleep physicians, medical insurance interaction AND the "ABC’s" of marketing. Then we go a bit beyond the basics: complications, titration and follow-up testing, team development, complex sleep disorders and advanced marketing.
