OSA Digital Workflow and Future Sleep Trends
What does every patient, sleep doc, and dentist want to know? Who will be the best patient for an oral appliance and where do we have to position the jaw to keep the airway open? This talk will present early results from a clinical trial of a device to do just that. In the past year, our field has become even more important as a means of managing Obstructive Sleep Apnea - research is supporting our cause, and you’ll hear how you can use this new information to support your practice. What’s coming up? What is there to look forward to? Learning Objectives
• Anticipate a new clinical device, not yet available, that may help us choose patients with more confidence.
• Take research results back to practice to help their teams use current data to enhance marketing efforts Look forward to new developments in our field.

OSA: Orthodontic Treatment Considerations and Case Studies
Lecture will focus on post orthodontic patients that are to be retained with the MicrO2 device at nighttime for treatment of Sleep Apnea, Snoring, and restricted airway. Dr. Warshawsky will present an evidence based argument that indicates that oral sleep devices that are built out of methyl methacrylate have a tendency to introduce minor tooth movement. He will present several clinical cases where Cone Beam Imagery will be presented prior to the MicrO2 device and a minimum of 3-4 months after its initial introduction. Hypothesis is to show that the position of the teeth remained unchanged following the application of the MicrO2 device.
Learning Objectives
• Identify clinical traits that are representative of individuals who are suspect to suffer from Sleep Apnea.
• Describe the logic to the favor of utilization of the MicrO2 device for nighttime retention on Class II cases, and those who may suffer from Sleep Apnea.
• Clinically demonstrate the lack of change in dental position/movement as a result of wearing the MicrO2 device nightly.
• Describe the process of prescribing the MicrO2 device and how we titrate the individual to their own desired needs.

We’re All Broken; Why Fatigue In Sleep Apnea Means More Than Excessive
Daytime Sleepiness and What You Can Do About It
Physiology is like gravity. Its presence is constant and vigilant yet it is rarely top of mind in dental treatment. Homeostasis dictates physiologic economy meaning that the body will not do anything it does not need to do yet everything it does need to do, to survive. Corruption of the human phenotype through processes developing from birth such as mouth breathing, poor oral posture and the increasing trend towards obesity have led to the epidemic of Sleep Disordered Breathing we encounter today. Unfortunately, these postural adaptations continue both day and night, causing muscle fatigue, cervical compensations and symptoms of TMD. Just as you would not put a broken arm in a cast without first correcting its alignment, so too the compensations occurring in the head, neck and airway deserve correction prior to putting the patient in a cast. The oral appliance is a cast and patients wear it when they are most vulnerable - lying down and asleep.
Learning Objectives
• OSA develops from birth. • Postural compensations. • Muscle physiology and fatigue. • The role of muscle fatigue in OSA.
• Tools and techniques to optimize the head, neck, and jaw prior to taking the bite. • How the physiologic bite position and the MicrO2 can treat TMD rather than cause it.
