Did you know that over 50% of the patients in your practice have an airway/sleep problem? Attend the AIRWAY SUMMIT and learn to recognize the signs and how to treat airway health issues.
The Foundation for Airway Health brings together leading dental educators, scientific academy representatives, allied health organizations, and members of the public to offer information you and your dental team must know about unrecognized sleep/airway issues and what you can do to impact positive health change for patients. This year the Foundation will offer a more interactive program to allow you to participate in recognizing hidden issues and developing treatment paths for care. Think you have an airway problem? Register early - yours can be one of the case presentations. Learning is facili-tated when listening, and note-taking are joined with active participation. If you have taken airway sleep courses and have not yet added this service to your practice, this course is a must.
Unrecognized,” Hidden” airway problems are not only expressed by poor sleep but also as chronic disease and inflammation, learning difficulties, perfor-mance issues, and behavior problems. Currently, only 15% of airway problems are recognized. Dentists can and must play a front-line role in diagnosing and treating airway dysfunction. Attendees at the Airway Summit will learn about the emerging importance of airway health and sleep in dental practice, how to improve treatment outcomes, join the fight against chronic disease, and expand the professional practice in these areas.
Learn:
• screen patients for airway and sleep issues and follow ADA recommendations • understand the connection between airway and sleep issues and chronic medical and dental health disorders • be aware of how airway sleep issues affect growth, development, and learning • include airway and sleep screening for better outcomes in restorative dentistry • recognize the signs and symptoms of airway sleep issues in your patients when you return to your practice
The Foundation for Airway Health is a 501(c)(3). Founded in 2012, the Foundation for Airway Health is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness with the general public and the healthcare industry. Through its initiatives, the Foundation seeks to highlight the role of airway in overall health and well-being for all and educate clinicians to recognize the role and importance of optimal airway physiology and sleep in the areas of health, development, performance, and function.

Dentistry and medicine are equal partners in helping infants grow up healthy. As dentists, even age one may be too late for the first oral examination to intercept or prevent many medical problems that originate with tethered oral tissues that develop into adulthood, where issues are now only managed. Brain development and good breathing are critical in infants’ first 90 days. The clinician discusses various co-morbidities such as obstructed sleep apnea, air-induced reflux, and how we wear many hats and provide care that is missed by the medical profession.
Learn:
• why RTOTS need to be corrected as soon as possible • how RTOTS can influence brain development • how the dentist needs to examine infants, toddlers, and older children for RTOTS • how ADHD is it due to the failure to open airways

A IMPORTÂNCIA DA BAIXA IMUNOGENICIDADE NOS PROTOCOLOS DE DERMOREVITALIZAÇÃO.
Os protocolos de dermorevitalização visam tratar, rejuvenescer e reestruturar a pele pela integração de diversas terapias que unem a indução ao colágeno, dermoinfusão de ativos, toxina botulínica intradérmica e peeling em sessão única. A Toxina Botulínica pode atuar como antígeno e aplicações em períodos curtos podem acelerar a produção de anticorpos que reduzem ou bloqueiam os efeitos de sua ação, causando um insucesso permanente. Por tanto, é importante considerar a utilização de uma toxina botulínica de baixa imunogenicidade a fim de garantir o sucesso do tratamento a longo prazo.

LA IMPORTANCIA DEL ANÁLISIS FACIAL
Cuando evaluamos un rostro tanto en su vista frontal como de perfil, debemos reforzar nuestra visión para definir qué es realmente la “Belleza Facial”. Este enfoque debe desarrollar la capacidad de notar los detalles que son más evidentes, con un ojo entrenado para percibir cuán atractivo o no puede ser ese rostro. En odontología estética y ortodoncia, no basta con entender qué es lo que interfiere con la sonrisa, es necesario diagnosticar qué es lo que está fuera de lo común, para poder establecer un plan de tratamiento.
PRISCILLA PEREIRA, D.D.S.
ARMONIZACIÓN OROFACIAL

Topic: Endodontics Tuition: $245.00 Credits: 3 Recommended For:
Dentists, Students
Description:
Demonstrate applying rational endodontic principles, which are common sense based, to the goals of instrumentation and clarifying what is best to use. Marketing companies talk about the positive features of their endodontic systems only. They may suggest greater tapered preparations because that protects the rotary instrument and weakens the tooth. On the other hand, more recently, companies have advised conservative preparations to protect the instrument that increases the chances of leaving debris in the buccal and lingual extensions of oval canals. This program provides solutions for these dichotomies.
Learn:
the short arcs of motion using stainless steel relieved twisted reamers to eliminate instrument separation
about no breakage instruments for aggressive use in highly oval canals for debridement in three dimensions
why instruments that are used effectively are immune to breakage and can be used multiple times
why short arcs of motion remove hand fatigue while dramatically speeding up the instrumentation process
