Part 1: Find New Scientific Evidence from Everyday Practice: Dentist’s Role for Airway and Sleep Disorders

Most current dental treatments for sleep-disordered breathing focus on changing the anatomy to increase airway space. However, most dentists do not understand the mechanism of how anatomical changes affect the pathophysiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Dr Yoon will show her extensive research for a better understanding of the relationship between anatomical factors and the physiology of OSA. Dr Yoon will discuss early identification of the etiology and understanding the pathophysiology to prevent diseases. She will also discuss the orthodontic approach for modifying orofacial growth and development with the newest technique to achieve ideal skeletal structures and reprogram orofacial muscle function.

Part 2: Growth Modification Protocol: From Infant to Adult for Patients with Sleep Disordered Breathing

As knowledge of sleep medicine increases, it is critical dentists are equipped with the knowledge to help contribute to interdisciplinary care for pediatric patients with OSA. As our profession strives to bridge the gap between sleep surgery and dentistry, providers must have clinical guidelines to follow as patients grow and develop. Dentists can manipulate and guide craniofacial growth patterns depending on a patient’s age—therefore, it is important to understand which strategies can be used in conjunction with other providers to help create a team-based approach to care. With a dentist’s extensive knowledge of craniofacial growth and development stages, providers can take advantage of therapeutic appliances to make a substantial change in a patient’s growth pattern during maturity. As a child grows from infancy to adulthood, the dentition and craniofacial complex change with various growth patterns that can be intercepted and targeted at the right time.

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

• Understand the dentist’s role in identifying airway disorders in everyday practice.

• Understand the screening protocols and spectrum of available therapies.

• Employ integrative and functional approaches to craniofacial structure modification.

• Understand specific treatment options that can be offered from infancy to adulthood with sleep-disordered breathing.

• Define why early diagnosis and treatment of sleep disordered breathing is imperative for children’s growth and development.

• Understand the differential growth of each craniofacial structure.

• Understand the selection and design of orthodontic appliances in the right place and at the right time.

The recent evolution in ceramic, adhesive, and CAD/CAM technologies is breathtaking and offers a whole new range of aesthetic, less invasive, and long-lasting treatment options in restorative and implant dentistry. However, there are many open questions and straight answers are hard to find. What are the fundamental aesthetic treatment planning guidelines to select the best materials and treatment options for our patients considering the large variety of silica-based, high-strength, and hybrid ceramic materials available today? How to best integrate digital workflows and resin bonding technologies? How to design new smiles and handle bonded laminate veneers? Do different ceramics require specific laboratory and clinical treatment to function properly in the mouth? Is all zirconia the same? How to cement different ceramics? What are the best protocols and materials to restore dental implants? And, in this age of “evidence-based dentistry”, what is the scientific evidence on all of these topics? This presentation will answer such questions in an unbiased manner and provide an update on aesthetic, less invasive, and long-term functional treatment options from conservative laminate veneers to implant-supported full-mouth rehabilitations. Case selection, tooth preparation, dental implants, digital manufacturing in the dental laboratory and in clinics, fundamental material science, as well as cementation and bonding techniques of ceramics based on decades of research and the latest scientific evidence will be presented.

He is the senior author of the textbook Head, Face and Neck Pain: Science, Evaluation and Management published by Wiley in 2009. 

This lecture is broken into many sections . Just as our patients are complicated, concepts of TMD and dental sleep problems have many avenues of assessment and management. This lecture is not meant to be the only way to assess and treat rather it is one person’s personal experience over 45 years of private practice, research, and teaching at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. In trying to develop simplified techniques of teaching dental students it has been my observations that the longer we are in the field of dentistry the less we tend to look at the patient as a full human being and more as a tooth.

In this field however our concepts of limited focus have been the cause of many unsuccessful and sometimes unnecessary treatments.

Topics that will be covered include:

• Historical facts and fiction of dental Occlusal concepts that have been cemented into our education and have formed our treatment concepts.

• Definitions of TMJ, TMD, Orofacial Pains and other descriptors that have complicated the path for many practicing dentists and led to many concepts of treatments.

• Symptoms of the TMD patient and role of bruxism in pain and interactions with obstructive sleep apnea. Can we use symptoms as an assessment tool based on research findings?

• Is there a commonality of dental occlusion in these patients that could lead to a more simplified algorithm for diagnosis and management?

• Are there means of predicting these disorders and taking steps to minimize the occurrence in our dental patients?

• What are the most effective means of utilizing bite appliances in a three-dimensional model of maxillo-mandibular jaw relationships?

• How to address the wrong but generally held concepts that “TMD” patients are crazy anyways?

• Multidisciplinary concepts of managing these patients successfully.

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

• How to categorize their patients into simpler diagnostics categories.

• How to assess the patients through a step-by-step clinical assessment.

• When to treat, how to treat and when to refer.

• Hopefully when not to fall asleep during the lecture.

Irena Sailer, Prof Dr med dent, is chair of the Division of Fixed Prosthodontics and Biomaterials at the University of Geneva and adjunct associate professor in the Department of Preventive and Restorative Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. In 2019, she received an Honorary Skou Professorship of digital dental technologies, fixed and implant prosthodontics, and biomaterials at Aarhus University, Denmark. Dr Sailer is editor-in-chief of The International Journal of Prosthodontics and coauthor of over 150 peer-reviewed publications as well as the books Fixed Restorations: A Clinical Guide to the Selection of Materials and Fabrication Technology (Quintessence, 2021) and Color in Dentistry (2017). She holds several patents on esthetic coatings of dental/medical devices and a digital dental splint.

The recent digital technology offers numerous new and efficient options for planning and conducting implant and restorative treatments. Within digital dentistry cone beam CT scanning and optical impressionning are the first steps towards a digitalization of the patient’s intraoral situation. The resulting digital files are then used for the virtual planning and guiding implant placement. The main goal is to initially define and later on follow a systematic and evidence based treatment plan, in simple as well as more complex dental rehabilitations. In the restorative phase digital dentistry is used to virtually design reconstructions, which thereafter can be milled out of prefabricated blanks of different materials with aid of CAD/CAM systems. Evenmore, these CAD/CAM reconstructions can either be made in a centralized production facility or chair-side in the dental office. The digital systems available today offer numerous advantages, like e.g. the precision of the reconstructions. A high number of studies has demonstrated good accuracy of the current subtractive manufacturing, i.e. the computer aided milling or the grinding of ingots. More recently, additive procedures have been introduced. Stereolithography, laser sintering or printing of materials like wax, resins, or metals has shown to be even more precise than the subtractive manufacturing. Furthermore, the additive fabrication of reconstructions may even be more efficient due to the fact, that less time may be needed for the fabrication and no material excess is produced. Finally, the digital workflow and the associated additive procedures, is not only interesting for the planning and fabrication of implant reconstructions but also for a better patient/dentist communication. As an example, 3D prosthetic diagnostic files or digital wax-ups or set-ups maybe printed out of resin and used for try-in in the clinical situation.

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

• Learn a systematic approach of evidence based treatment planning.

• Learn and understand the value of conventional and digital diagnostics.

• Learn about cemented vs. screw retained reconstructions.

• Learn about the restorative options, their possibilities and limitations.

• Learn to select restorative options for predictable white and pink esthetic.

Dr. Rouse lectures nationally and internationally on a wide variety of topics ranging from dental esthetics to airway prosthodontics.

The hardest beliefs to change are those learned in dental school or residency. The first exposure to a concept seems to stick even when presented with new clinical evidence to the contrary. Dr. Rouse will present a personal journey of airway-induced problems found in three of his patients. All three were missed by the "normal" medical and dental practices and procedures. No one bothered to ask, "Could this be Airway?" Dr Rouse will also present the anatomic links to stressful breathing that can be resolved with dental procedures. Those treatments are typically the same ones proposed if you were focused only on the esthetic and functional concerns. Beautiful smiles and faces are heathy ones as well. By highlighting the health implications, it makes the conversion to treatment easier and your practice more profitable. Finally, this course has nothing to do with making appliances. It has everything to do with changing anatomy and, in turn, your patients’ lives.

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

• Dentistry’s unique ability to recognize airway alterations before medical disease progression.

• Detection of three cases presenting routinely to general and specialty practices.

• Understand the impact of airway dysfunction on dental treatment planning of complex cases.

Dr. Vinay Bhide is a board-certified Periodontist who provides the full scope of surgical periodontal and dental implant therapy. In addition to conventional periodontal procedures such as pocket reduction and crown lengthening, Dr. Bhide has a special interest in esthetic and reconstructive periodontics, procedures including soft tissue grafting for correction of gingival recession, periodontal regeneration, and pre-prosthetic site development procedures such as alveolar ridge augmentation, maxillary sinus floor augmentation (both direct and indirect), and guided bone regeneration (GBR). Dr. Bhide holds the rank of Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and is involved in didactic and clinical teaching of periodontics at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels. He has lectured nationally and internationally on various topics related to periodontology.

In this rescue mission workshop, Dr Vinay Bhide is faced with the task of reconstructing the anterior maxilla after implants have failed due to peri-implantitis. Sounds straightforward, doesn’t it? It is, until it isn’t! Surgical reconstruction of a deficient ridge in preparation for dental implant therapy has been shown to be a successful and predictable modality of treatment. Now, super-impose a history of peri-implantitis and failed implants onto this scenario and things aren’t so linear anymore. This workshop will showcase a 47-year-old patient who had implants placed in the anterior maxilla and restored with a fixed bridge and subsequently developed peri-implantitis after more than five years in function. The implants were lost to the disease process leaving Dr Bhide the formidable task of reconstructing the deficient, residual ridge for implant therapy… again! While the reconstructive surgery went well, the post-operative healing events that ensued did not. Faced with an already compromised site which was now healing poorly:

• How could the initial peri-implantitis and bone loss have been prevented in the first place?

• What would Dr Bhide have to do to change the course of treatment so this case could be restored successfully?

• Attendees of this workshop will get an insight into surgical complications and how to deal with them effectively so the ultimate goals of esthetics and function can be achieved!

Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:

• Understand surgical approaches for ridge construction in preparation for implant therapy in sites with a previous history implant failure due to peri-implant disease

• Appreciate the potential for post-operative complications and the problem-solving required to deal with them for a successful prosthetically driven result
