Description: Today, 26% of adults in the US have the devastating condition of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and only 4% have been diagnosed. Why is that first number so high? And why is that second number so low? In today's course, you will learn the physical, telltale signs and common symptoms of both OSA and its precursor, Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS).

But let's back up! We can expect a brighter future in airway health only if we can predict and preempt these conditions in infants and children. How? By positively influencing early facial development and tongue function. You will leave this course with tools and working knowledge to screen for pediatric and adult airway disorders and, at the very least, make confident referrals for definitive diagnosis and treatment.

Objectives - Upon completion of this course, participants will:

• Understand screening tools for common symptoms of adult and pediatric airway disorders;
• Understand the physical Signs of UARS and OSA;
• Understand more on treatment modalities: CPAP, MAP, MARPE/SARPE, Inspire;
• Understand the physical signs of breathing disorders in infancy, toddler years, and childhood;
• Understand the concepts of mouth-taping, trainers, and myofunctional therapy;
• Understand how and why releasing tethered tissues in infants can be an airway game-changer;
• Understand when tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy matter and how to communicate with ENTs;
• Understand how to communicate with medical professionals for better co-referral relationships.

Description: Despite the predominance of women in dentistry, a nearly million-strong industry, and the progress society has made towards equality, women still experience gaps in income, power, and representation. However, they face a far more fundamental crisis: the gap in knowledge about their health.

The Strong Mind Initiative will study the history of "bikini medicine," then explore aspects needed to comprehend how the female brain operates and any trials, hazards, risks, and opportunities for optimization it poses. This session will also look at critical diagnostic tools to maximize healthy brains and identify areas to prevent disease in women. It will look at the steps needed for women's brains to thrive, minimize their risks, and translate this information into workspaces. Women in Dentistry: Strong Mind Initiative will help attendees personally, as practitioners, and the millions of women they serve to start taking care of their brains and bodies for lifetime rewards.

Objectives - Upon completion of this course, participants will:

• Understand when and why the female brain risks damage as we age;
• Be able to carefully assess risk factors by applying diagnostic tools to increase brain health and identify areas to prevent disease in women, determining useful tests, and focusing on the screening process;
• Understand the current hypothesis of bacteria, yeast, and the herpes virus that results in a cascade of events that leads to Alzheimer's disease in both women and men;
• Be able to apply this knowledge in daily life as they make choices to protect their brains, bodies, and precious vitality from such damage while minimizing risks with evidence-based practices designed for women.
