SUMMARY:Advanced Education for Excellence in Dental Sleep Medicine (Session 2 of 3)
DESCRIPTION:3 Session Course        \n\n\n\nApril 20-21\, 2024  (in person @ UCLA)   Saturday 8:00am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pmMay 10-11  (online via Zoom)  Friday 8:00am-4:00pm and Saturday 8:00am-12:00pm June 8-9  (in person @ UCLA)  Saturday 8:30am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pm \n\n\n\nThe interest in Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) has grown and involves not only oral appliances for Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD)\, such as sleep apnea and snoring\, but also involves sleep bruxism\, orofacial pain including TMD and related medical conditions. The dentist has a major role in the recognition and management of patients with these conditions. In addition\, the guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) indicate that the dentist should be trained to recognize\, facilitate the diagnosis of sleep apnea\, and be well versed in oral appliance therapy. \n\n\n\nCourse lectures are designed to review the aspects of sleep that are relevant to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. This course includes the opportunity to fabricate and deliver an oral appliance for the participant. This is not required to take part in the course\, but highly recommended *. \n\n\n\nThis course provides the didactic and clinical knowledge for the dentist to become a productive and successful participant in the management of SRBD\, with the focus primarily on patients within their existing practice. \n\n\n\nThe course is designed to cover all aspects of sleep medicine and sleep disorders through lectures from various specialists. The lectures are designed to review all aspects of sleep that are relative to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. The lectures and discussion will involve how the dentist can be a productive and successful participant in the management of sleep disorders\, and specifically SRBD. The expanding definition of DSM will be explored\, as this involves sleep bruxism and all aspects of orofacial pain. \n\n\n\nThis course is designed such that the participant will be optimally competent and be considered qualified in the use of oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and snoring. This is of particular importance given that Orofacial Pain is now a dental specialty that also involves sleep. Anyone practicing DSM needs to be able to also practice at the same standard of care equivalent to a specialist\, and this course is intended to accomplish this.

SUMMARY:Advanced Education for Excellence in Dental Sleep Medicine (Session 1 of 3)
DESCRIPTION:3 Session Course        \n\n\n\nApril 20-21\, 2024  (in person @ UCLA)   Saturday 8:00am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pmMay 10-11  (online via Zoom)  Friday 8:00am-4:00pm and Saturday 8:00am-12:00pm June 8-9  (in person @ UCLA)  Saturday 8:30am-5:00pm and Sunday 8:30am-1:00pm \n\n\n\nThe interest in Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) has grown and involves not only oral appliances for Sleep Related Breathing Disorders (SRBD)\, such as sleep apnea and snoring\, but also involves sleep bruxism\, orofacial pain including TMD and related medical conditions. The dentist has a major role in the recognition and management of patients with these conditions. In addition\, the guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) indicate that the dentist should be trained to recognize\, facilitate the diagnosis of sleep apnea\, and be well versed in oral appliance therapy. \n\n\n\nCourse lectures are designed to review the aspects of sleep that are relevant to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. This course includes the opportunity to fabricate and deliver an oral appliance for the participant. This is not required to take part in the course\, but highly recommended *. \n\n\n\nThis course provides the didactic and clinical knowledge for the dentist to become a productive and successful participant in the management of SRBD\, with the focus primarily on patients within their existing practice. \n\n\n\nThe course is designed to cover all aspects of sleep medicine and sleep disorders through lectures from various specialists. The lectures are designed to review all aspects of sleep that are relative to the practicing dentist and are reinforced with demonstration as well as hands-on experience in the clinic. This involves the examination process\, the process of obtaining a bite registration for fabrication of an oral appliance and the delivery of the oral appliance. The lectures and discussion will involve how the dentist can be a productive and successful participant in the management of sleep disorders\, and specifically SRBD. The expanding definition of DSM will be explored\, as this involves sleep bruxism and all aspects of orofacial pain. \n\n\n\nThis course is designed such that the participant will be optimally competent and be considered qualified in the use of oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and snoring. This is of particular importance given that Orofacial Pain is now a dental specialty that also involves sleep. Anyone practicing DSM needs to be able to also practice at the same standard of care equivalent to a specialist\, and this course is intended to accomplish this.

SUMMARY:Dental Acupuncture and Integrative Oral Medicine (Session 3 of 4)
DESCRIPTION:Patients are increasingly seeking out acupuncture as an adjunct to standard pain control measures. This is becoming more relevant in the setting of the current opiate epidemic\, as acupuncture provides a non-pharmacologic approach to reduce pain. This is also important in the realms of sleep medicine and orofacial pain where pharmacotherapy is riddled with a high side effect burden and risk of abuse. Despite the WHO having recommended acupuncture for treatments on headache\, facial pain\, neuralgia and insomnia\, few programs are available for dentists who wish to seek training.  \n\n\n\nUCLA School of Dentistry is offering a unique\, evidence-based program to train dentists in the basics of dental acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory. By combining TCM principles with Western allopathic Medicine modalities\, participants will feel comfortable diagnosing and understanding the pathophysiology of both acute and chronic oral pain conditions from an integrative East-West perspective. Moreover\, participants will learn basic acupuncture treatments that can be safely delivered to patients.  \n\n\n\n4 Session Course at UCLA February 2-4\, 2024 March 8-10\, 2024 April 19-21\, 2024 May 31- Jun 2\, 2024  \n\n\n\nThis course consists of 50 hours of didactic and 30 hours of clinical training including instruction on the following subjects: -Theoretical foundation of acupuncture\, with emphasis on current physiological concepts as they relate to traditional -Chinese medicine -Acupuncture anatomy and physiology -Acupuncture techniques\, including instruction in the use of needling techniques; moxibustion\, electroacupuncture and other noninvasive techniques for stimulating acupuncture points; precautions (e.g. sterilization of needles); contraindications and complications\, including adverse systemic effects -Application of acupuncture to the practice of dentistry \n\n\n\nKenneth E.

SUMMARY:Occlusion in 2024
DESCRIPTION:Today’s restorative dentist must be a diagnostician not only of the masticatory system but also of the systems that impact it. Whether or not the dentist chooses to be involved in the treatment of airway and breathing problems\, parafunctional activities or temporo-mandibular disorders\, they must recognize the effect of these on the restorative dentistry that is recommended and completed. This program will assist the clinician in a deeper understanding of the involvement of the problems noted above and the part that occlusion (and occluding) might play in achieving a predictable and long-lasting restorative result. \n\n\n\n\nKnow why AIRWAY is a dental problem\n\n\n\nMake the connection between TMD and Occlusion\n\n\n\nVisualize designing occlusion and occluding in harmony with the patient
