Sleep Medicine Review and Update
AAOP Mid-Year Virtual Symposium on Sleep Medicine
Under the Direction of the AAOP
Sleep Medicine Committee
Friday November 6, 2020
10:00AM EST - 3:00PM EST
OVERVIEW
This is an update on sleep and related topics of interest and importance for the OFP practicing dentist. At this time this is more important than ever as OFP has become a specialty in dentistry and sleep medicine is an integral part of this discipline. More than ever the need to be well educated in sleep medicine and the role of the dentist is critical. This one-day course is designed to be an update on many of the important topics that are relevant to the patient who may be at risk for a sleep disorder. The dentist’s role in sleep medicine and in the use of oral appliances for managing sleep breathing disorders (SBD) has also been reinforced by the recommendations from the American Dental Association. In addition it is now well known that approximately 80% of people who have a SBD, and in particular sleep apnea, have not been diagnosed. This further substantiates the role of the dentist who is adequately trained to have a major role in the recognition as well as the management of these patients.
By attending this one-day course you will become more invigorated and motivated to continue pursuing education in sleep and sleep medicine to be able to provide care to those who seek help and are not always able to find it. Please join us in this journey in one of the most dynamic and interesting fields in all of medicine and dentistry.
