Subject: "An Introduction to Sleep and Dental Sleep Medicine"
Essayist: Robert L. Korngut, D.D.S., F.I.C.D.
Chief of Dental Sleep Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital
Synopsis:
Today, people are increasingly aware of the importance of a good night's sleep in terms of quality of life and physical and emotional well-being. Medical professionals are now recognizing the consequences of untreated sleep apnea and snoring in relation to their patients' health. Many of these patients are being referred to dentists to provide appliance therapy and because people don't want or can't tolerate other treatment modalities, i.e. CPAP or surgery.
For dentists who choose to provide care to these patients, it is important to have a broad knowledge base in terms of understanding the pathophysiology of sleep disordered breathing, an appropriate treatment protocol and familiarity with various oral appliances on the market. It is also necessary to know how to get preauthorization and payment from medical insurers. Upon successful completion of this lecture, participants should:
Have an understanding of the consequences of untreated sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)
Be familiar with treatment modalities for SDB
Be able to develop a practical protocol for treating patients with SDB
Have an appreciation of various oral appliances and how to select which appliance to use
Understand how to communicate with sleep doctors and sleep labs
