DEAR COLLEAGUE:__
_ _
WELCOME TO THE 2018-2019 STUDY CLUB YEAR. AS DENTAL AND MEDICAL
PRACTITIONERS, WE ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO CAREFULLY AND
COMPREHENSIVELY ADDRESS THE TREATMENT NEEDS OF OUR PATIENTS. IN MOST
CASES, TREATMENT GOALS CAN BE MET WITH THE PROPER PLANNING THAT CAN
INCLUDE THE SIMULTANEOUS IMPROVEMENT OF THE AESTHETICS, FUNCTION, AND
THE OVERALL HEALTH OF THE PATIENT REQUIRING ADVANCED INTERDISCIPLINARY
MEDICAL-DENTAL COLLABORATION.
MILLIONS OF PATIENTS ARE EXPERIENCING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF
PHARYNGOROFACIAL DISORDERS INCLUDING; HEAD AND NECK, MASTICATORY-TMJ,
UPPER AIRWAY-SLEEP BREATHING AND OROFACIAL DISORDERS THAT
SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THEIR ORAL AS WELL AS OVERALL HEALTH AND CAN BE
MOST EFFECTIVELY DIAGNOSED, MANAGED AND COMPREHENSIVELY TREATED BY A
WELL-EDUCATED INTERDISCIPLINARY DENTAL-MEDICAL TEAM. THE ADDED BENEFIT
OF THIS INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION IS RECEIVING REFERRALS FROM
MEDICAL OR DENTAL COLLEAGUES AND TO GET PAID BY MEDICAL INSURANCE.
IN THIS YEAR’S PROGRAM, WE WILL FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT ROLE OF THE
DENTAL AND MEDICAL CLINICIANS SERVING AS A MEMBER OF AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM MANAGING AND TREATING PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE
SLEEP APNEA (OSA), MASTICATORY-TMJ AND HEAD AND NECK MUSCULOSKELETAL
DISORDERS UTILIZING DENTAL AND MEDICAL PROCEDURES AND TECHNIQUES.
SEMINAR 1: “TONGUE TIE AND IT’S EFFECT ON UPPER AIRWAY,
MASTICATORY, AND CERVICAL PAIN!”
(WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018)
PRESENTERS: STEVE CARSTENSEN DMD, FRANCO AUDIA DMD MS, JOSEPH
YOUSEFIAN DMD MS, SARA SILVESTRI DDS, NANCY MAGAR MA
(3 CE CREDITS)
Tongue tie and its impact on the oral and systemic health has been a
challenging concept in the dental and medical field. In this
presentation, the new interdisciplinary dental/medical guidelines and
protocol for diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of tongue tie will
be presented.
Learning Objectives:
* Local and systemic health issues caused by tongue tie.
* Screening and diagnosis of the tongue tie including referrals to
specialists
* New dental-medical protocol for the comprehensive treatment of
tongue tie.
SEMINAR 2: “UPPER AIRWAY DEFICIENCY IS MORE THAN JUST SLEEP
DISORDERED BREATHING!”
(WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2018)
PRESENTERS: SUNIL AGGARWAL MD PHD, JOHN RUHLAND ND, JOSEPH YOUSEFIAN
DMD MS
(3 CE CREDITS)
Upper airway, is a critical pathway for supply of oxygen-rich air to
the respiratory system. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent
sleep disorder considered as an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular and neurovascular consequences, such as systemic
arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias,
metabolic disorders and cognitive dysfunction.
The significant confusion in the medical and dental approach for
management of this problem, is too much emphasis on upper airway
failure during sleep and neglecting its daily chronicity caused by
chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) inducing alterations at the
molecular level including chronic oxidative stress, persistent
systemic inflammation, oxygen sensor activation, and increase of
sympathetic hyperactivity. Overall, these mechanisms are considered to
be important factors for explaining vascular, metabolic, and cognitive
CIH -related consequences even on patients that use upper airway
opening aids such as CPAP, mandibular advancing or tongue retaining
devices during sleep.
This presentation describes the biologic basis for why permanently
treating upper airway insufficiency is also clinically observed to
alleviate not only sleep-disordered breathing problems but beyond the
CIH, make the sympathetic hyperactivation and its related symptoms
easier to achieve in response to standard lifestyle modifications.
Learning Objectives:
* Screening and diagnosis of the upper airway issues including
referrals for sleep studies
* Upper airway evaluation and intervention, the goal of prevention
rather than maintaining a damaged system.
* Dental/medical protocol for the comprehensive treatment of upper
airway issues.
SEMINAR 3: “YOUR PATIENT’S FACE IS MORE CROOKED AND THE TMJ AND
NECK PAIN MANAGEMENT IS INEFFECTIVE!”
(WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2019)
PRESENTERS: SAM BOBEK MD DMD, DUANE ENG DDS, ALI ETEMAD DMD MS, SUE
VETTER DDS, FAGD, JOSEPH YOUSEFIAN DMD MS
(3 CE CREDITS)
There are a number of different condylar pathologies that enlarge the
mandibular condyle, with subsequent adverse effects on the morphology
and function of the TMJ and mandible. This may result in the
development or worsening of dentofacial deformity such as; mandibular
prognathism (symmetric or asymmetric), and unilateral enlargement of
the condyle, ramus, facial asymmetry and malocclusion. It is not
uncommon that patients also describe a progressive development of
musculoskeletal instability in the cervical and shoulder area
non-responsive to pain management. This evidence-based presentation
and case report are to address the condylar hyperplasia and its oral
and systemic health impact. It also describes the systematic approach
for the diagnosis and interdisciplinary dental - medical planning to
resolve the related issues.
Learning Objectives:
* A classification system to place patients with condylar
hyperplasia into categories based on histology, clinical and imaging
characteristics, effects on the jaws and facial structures, and rate
of occurrence.
* How to read the CBCT and MRI imaging and understand various dental
and surgical procedures to overcome the resulting dentofacial
discrepancies.
* Development of integrated, interdisciplinary care model for
managing the oral and systemic health of these patients.
SEMINAR 4: “HELPING PATIENTS TO SLEEP BETTER – FROM SCREENING TO
TREATMENT”
(WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 2019)
PRESENTER: STEVE CARSTENSEN DDS FAGD FICD FACD
(3 CE CREDITS)
While mandibular advancement has proven safe and effective as a
treatment strategy for maintaining an open airway during sleep,
questions remain about mechanism and, especially, who among our
patient population will respond and who will not.
Attendees will be given a rationale for matching the patient to the
right choice of Mandibular Advancement Device, troubleshoot problems
they have had in practice, experience taking records for making
excellent appliances, see what to look for on sleep reports, and take
home a semi-custom temporary sleep appliance of their own.
Learning objectives:
* Describe the various types of mandibular advancement devices and
the patients they might be most appropriate for.
* Have confidence recording the 3D bite registration and AM Aligner.
* Fit and discuss the rationale of using temporary appliances for
Sleep Disordered Breathing.
SEMINAR 5: “YOUR PATIENT’S MOUTH, A WINDOW TO SYSTEMIC HEALTH!”
(WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2019)
PRESENTERS: MICHAEL BROWN MD DC, JAY LEVY DMD, DAVID RILEY MD, VIKRAM
LIKHARI DMD MS, JOSEPH YOUSEFIAN DMD MS
(3 CE CREDITS)
Recent findings have strongly suggested that oral health may be
indicative of systemic health. Currently, this gap between allopathic
medicine and dental medicine is quickly closing, due to significant
findings supporting the association between oral health and systemic
conditions such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus,
adverse pregnancy outcomes, and osteoporosis. Significant effort has
brought numerous advances in revealing the etiological and
pathological links between the chronic inflammatory dental disease and
these other conditions. This presentation will not only to uncover
more information about the correlations between oral health and
systemic diseases but also to focus on positive associations that
dental and periodontal procedures may result in treating ameliorating
systemic diseases including obstructive sleep apnea.
Learning Objectives:
* What's the connection between oral health and systemic health?
* What conditions may be linked to oral health?
* How dental procedures can prevent and treat medical conditions.
