Orofacial Pain & Dental Sleep Medicine Ticket
$495.00
This program is designed as an overview of the current trends and evidence as it relates to orofacial pain, which includes Temporomandibular disorders (TMD), and in the discipline of Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM). With the recent recognition of Orofacial Pain as a dental specialty it is becoming more important for the practicing dentist to be knowledgeable as it applies to this. In addition, the recognition of a patient at risk for a sleep disorder, especially sleep apnea, including the use of oral appliances, is important for every dentist based on the ADA recommendations in 2017. This course will cover and review all aspects of the most commonly occurring orofacial pain complaints as well as procedures to follow for recognizing a patient that may be at risk for a sleep disorder.
