Dental Sleep Medicine: The Awakening

$900.00

Recent local studies estimate that around 15% of Singapore’s population suffers from sleep apnoea. This condition causes sleep fragmentation, leading to poor sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnoea patients are at a higher risk of developing chronic medical conditions such as hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Dentists are well-positioned to screen for and assist patients with suspected sleep apnoea.

Join Dr Han Hong Juan and Dr Lim Young as they share about the co-management protocols of patients with sleep related breathing disorders. They will also discuss what are the management strategies to assist patients in improving their sleep health and wellness.

This course gets you a complimentary “Starter Kit” to kickstart your sleep medicine journey. The Starter Kit includes: a Scheu-Dental Bite Fix Bite Registration Fork with reusable holdermade of sterilizable plastic, and two cartridges of Blu-Mousse Bite Registration Material.
