Maintaining an open airway during sleep for people diagnosed with sleep related breathing disorders has two non-invasive choices: Positive Air Pressure (PAP) devices and Mandibular Advancement oral appliances. This talk will ensure the dentist and team understands the mechanism, positives and negatives of each of these, with an emphasis on the many devices the dentist can choose for any patient.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss PAP devices with patients to understand their experience.
Match Mandibular Advancement Devices to patient characteristics for improved success of therapy.
Decrease risk of complications of each therapy, address the ones that happen, and reduce their impact on decision-making.
