The Role of Home Sleep Testing in Dental Sleep
Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2016
Time: 2–3pm ET / 11am–12pm PT
Speaker: Mayoor Patel, DDS, MS, Diplomate, ABDSM
As AASM guidelines recommend the use of portable monitors to assess patient response to non-CPAP treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)1, home sleep testing (HST) is increasingly being used in the management of OSA patients on oral appliance therapy to determine the optimal amount of advancement2. When utilized in tandem under the guidance of board certified sleep specialists and AASM-accredited facilities, HSTs may help dental sleep professionals strengthen collaborative efforts among multidisciplinary teams.
Join us for a complimentary webinar on Wednesday, May 18 (2pm ET/11am PT), where you'll learn:
- Clinical guidelines for the use of HSTs
- Overview of the HST device landscape
- How dental sleep professionals may incorporate HST into multidisciplinary efforts
