Presenter: Dr. Mark Murphy

This course will allow the general practitioner to survey the current landscape of medical and dental treatments for sleep apnea and decide how - and if - they want to evolve into this life-saving arena. The overview will cover marketing, physician communication, basic treatment philosophies, appliance choices, medical billing, and the financial and emotional impact on your practice and team. Sleep medicine has progressed in both the diagnosis and treatment protocol and outcome predictability. It is estimated that 25 percent of the population is at risk for this life-threatening condition and dentistry is at the frontlines. Dr. Murphy will help attendees begin to chart a course into the various aspects of this treatment construct. This course is an overview to help you determine if you want to treat these patients. It is not a substitute for full training in sleep dentistry. Other more involved courses will be discussed and compared.
