Pediatric Dentistry Training Events

In managing children and adults with airway conditions, orthodontics plays a central role in managing the form that allows for proper function. Two of the more advanced techniques employed today are MSE’s and TAD’s. These adjuncts have the capability of assisting to change the form of the nasomaxillary complex while still falling within the realm of being minimally-invasive, especially in comparison to the alternative, which is maxillomandibular advancement surgery. This course is appropriate for dentists who have a solid background in orthodontics or for those who would like to understand it so as to be able to work better with their specialists in planning these cases. With hands-on MSE on model and live patient demo with Dr. Ilya Lipkin!

Have you ever had a child come into your office with so many warning signs for sleep or airway issues? Year after year, these symptoms only get worse but you have no idea how to help this pediatric patient. You see them struggling to keep up in the classroom, with getting a good night’s sleep and breathing fully.

Join us with our interactive pediatric airway training lecture “Can you help Emma”. Learn how to change your pediatric patients’ lives forever.

Part of recognizing airway issues in our pediatric patient population is understanding where their airway issues may fall on the sleep disordered breathing spectrum. In this master class, we will review the physiology and pathophysiology of pediatric sleep breathing disorders and how this affects your management of the patient as well as the dialogue with the parents and other healthcare providers in your airway team.

Objectives:

• Go over pathophysiology of airway and sleep disordered breathing in kids.
• Understand AHI and how it affects the diagnosis of OSA.
• Understand how the “objective” data that we rely on actually have some subjectivity
• How to prepare the parent for the results so that your credibility as a dentist and healthcare provider in the airway team is not compromised when the physician says “there’s no OSA, your child is fine.”
• Ways in which to use the results in your decision-making and treatment management process

• Participants will recognize the most common medical conditions with comorbidities with children suffering from obstructive sleep disordered breathing
• Discuss the goals of dental airway management and how to develop an interdisciplinary teeth
• Review of the current treatment options for children under 10

By the end of this pediatric airway training lecture, you will understand:

• How to identify children struggling with airway and craniofacial growth/development issues
• How to identify the co-morbidities of airway issues in children
• The non-anatomical and nutritional deficiencies that are sabotaging sleep in both children and adults today

You will have access to FREE screening/data collection and blood screening tools at the end of the lecture.

Grab your coffee….pull up a chair….and let’s talk about helping these kids!
