With the increased interest in sleep disorders, there is considerable controversy among dentists with regards to the role of dentistry in management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. You will have the opportunity to hear different perspectives on the topic from two prominent clinicians: Dr. Clive Friedman and Dr. Benjamin Pliska. The question period will allow both experts to answer questions from the audience.

Dr. Clive Friedman

“Functional Pediatric Oral Health”

 

Course Outline:

This presentation will cover concepts of what is meant by functional oral health. Areas that will be addressed will be prenatal development, and areas that predispose an individual to aberrant developmental patterns as they grow, oral restrictions and their immediate impact as well as long term impacts on health and development. Tongue function, nasal breathing, sleep and posture as components of oral health will also be discussed.

 

Learning Objectives:

After this presentation attendees should be able to:

  • Evaluate current understanding of oral health and identify new aspects
  • Describe the importance of early recognition and assessment of problems in the pediatric airway
  • Describe the interventions that impact long term development, and airway issues from birth through to 6 years of age

  1. define the role of the orthodontist in patients with sleep disordered breathing
  2. evaluate the evidence of maxillary expansion in children with OSA
