Screening patients is not just about the form you use.

It isn’t about the Mallampati or the Epworth.

It’s all about the daily impact on the patient. 

Unfortunately, patients are often skeptical or confrontational about their issues.

Dr. Mona Patel explores the depths of Sleep Related Breathing disorders' comorbidities. 

We are going deeper than forms and intra-oral signs. We will show you the impact this has on the patient so that when you recommend a test you can clearly explain the alternatives to the patient.

No more excuses. Learn to treatment plan Home Sleep Tests like a filling. 

Objectives:

• Define Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) and how to screen patients
• Understand the relationship between TMD and sleep
• Explore treatment options for patients with TMD
• Identify appliances that reduce TMD for patients while treating OSA simultaneously
• Learn how to get started managing OSA patients

Have you ever screened a sleep patient?

What happened next?

Did they tell you they don’t want a sleep test?

Perhaps they told you they’re just there to get their teeth cleaned.

How can you overcome this pushback and help them understand how important a sleep test might be to their life expectancy and their quality of life?

And how can you do this without setting the entire office back 20 minutes all day long?

Watch as Dr. Mona Patel shares how she has this conversation with her patients. How she uses the clinically relevant information at her fingertips to screen patients and inform them that they are going to take home a sleep test.

Explore how to help patients understand the seriousness of their airway problem.

Show them how to take action immediately.

Explain to them what the consequences of inaction are.

By the webinar’s conclusion, you will learn to:

• Identify significant comorbidities of Sleep Related Breathing Disorders
• Describe the impact of age, genetics, gender, and substances have on sleep
• Explain how to combine key verbiage and clinical insights to test more patients
• Discuss the support role of the team in the screening process

Join Dr. Greg Manning, DDS, ASBA Diplomat, as he answers questions about the role of dentists in screening and testing patients for obstructive sleep apnea!

Description:

Dental Sleep Medicine is the buzzword. Everybody is doing it, right?

Not exactly. Yes, 1 in 4 dental patients you saw today had sleep apnea.

Yes, it’s also true that 1 in 4 patients you’ll crown prep tomorrow, do a hygiene check on, and a MODL will have sleep apnea.

• But how do you screen them & talk to them about their results?
• How do you get them a home sleep test (HST) so they can get the proper diagnosis?
• What do you need to do to put this patient on the proper path toward treatment?

You’ve come to the right place. This is where the rubber meets the road.

This live interactive webinar with Dr. Greg Manning & Michael Cowen. They share their real-world experiences about how to screen and test patients so that you can develop healthier patients and a healthier practice.

By the webinar’s conclusion, you will learn to:

• Screen patients in a busy dental practice
• Discuss screening results in an impactful way
• Determine which HST path is best for their patients
• Understand best practices to get patients to move forward with a test

Join Dr. Jagdeep Bijwadia, MD, MBA as he discusses telemedicine and dental sleep medicine in the webinar "Telemedicine- From Screening to Prescription."

Description:
The COVID pandemic highlighted the utility of telemedicine. Previously thought of as a futuristic novelty with limited use cases, its benefit has been realized and continues to gain adoption worldwide.

Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) and telemedicine make wonderful bed partners. The technology can minimize dentist time, increase access to care, simplify workflows, and save patients time on travel and office visits.

Telemedicine can greatly streamline the HST and MD visit steps that are oftentimes bottlenecks in the DSM diagnostic and treatment workflow. Jagdeep Bijwadia, MD, and Michael Cowen will share how telemedicine can simplify these processes, save time, and improve patient outcomes in dental sleep practices.

By the webinar’s conclusion, you will learn to:

• Define the differences between telemedicine and telehealth
• Understand how telemedicine can simplify DSM practice workflow
• Know what criteria to consider when selecting a telemedicine platform
• Determine how to incorporate telemedicine into the practice
