Lecture Description

In recent years, increasing interest has developed in sleep related breathing disorders such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is sometimes the treatment of choice, but its cumbersome nature makes tolerance and compliance less than optimal. This gives rise to the need for other alternatives such as oral appliances that may be equally effective, but more tolerable. Mandibular Advancement Splints (MAS) were found successful in 63% of OSA patients. Tongue Stabilizing Device (TSD) has also showed promising results in the management of OSA. However preventing and intercepting OSA in children and adults would be the ideal approach and may potentially avoid lifelong management of sleep related issues. Dr Darendeliler will discuss different types of orthodontic and orthopedic treatment approaches, their effectiveness, their short and long term effects and clinical management.
