The Introduction to Dental Sleep Medicine course is a logical way to incorporate OAT into your practice. The course includes a review of sleep related breathing disorders, such as snoring and OSA, and the impact of sleep disorders on society. A comprehensive evaluation is described that includes upper airway examination and imaging with a focus on areas of pathophysiology in OSA. Several sessions address the range of OAT and upper airway surgery for OSA. The course addresses practice issues such as developing a team approach, medicolegal issues and reimbursement. A final portion of the course is case-based and provides clinical examples of the evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders in a dental practice.
