Obstructive Sleep Apnea in the Dental Practice

Thu, 06/24/2010 - 12:23 — Sam Busich

Just saw a very interesting Free Video on www.dentalxp.com by Dr. Salama discussing the implementation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnosis and Treatment in the Dental Setting. It seems to be a very interesting and expanding area of dentistry. Anyone on this site involved with this in their practices?

Obstructive Sleep Apnea in dentistry: Appliance or Surgery?

I always get confused on what is best for a patient. I used appliances and work with ENT's that add the c-pap. But some recommend surgery like the UPPP or orthognathics.

What works best?

Sleep Apnea: Surgery VS Appliance

Surgery can be helpful but it is not without risks. Appliance therapy works in my practice but can also lead to issues like myofacial pain.

Sleep apnea is an ongoing problem for both medicine and dentistry that we dont have a cure all for.
