Integrative Dental Medicine offers dentists and the entire clinic team the possibility of acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the patient’s Complete Dental Health. Thus, the presence of clear airways will allow a correct respiration and oxygenation of all the cells of the organism, fundamental for the integral health of the individual.
It is evident that in recent years this is a subject of great relevance in dentistry.
Currently, it is not only possible to assess respiratory dysfunction that affects health systemically, but also to understand the relationship between respiratory dysfunction and malocclusion; lingual interposition; clenching and bruxism; abrasion and tooth erosion; gastroesophageal reflux; temporomandibular disorders; headaches and cervical pain. All this includes many of the most common problems addressed on a day-to-day basis by dental professionals,
Therefore, this course is focused on helping dentistry professionals identify risk factors and use a practical protocol for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment.
At the beginning of the course a complete list, “checklist”, of the “Integrative Dental Medicine” will be provided to allow to simplify the learning of this matter and thus be able to implement it in the daily clinic during the evaluation process of each patient.
We believe that this course taught by an authority in the field of “Integrative Dental Medicine” will be one of the most interesting ones that you have attended lately and that will answer many of the issues related to respiratory disorders and sleep apnea.
Goals
- Show the participants the existing connection between dentistry and the integral health of the organism.
- Understand the relationship between dental malocclusion, dental wear, bruxism, respiratory disorders and gastroesophageal reflux.
- Learn to use “screening tests” of sleep apnea, respiratory disorders, diabetes, gastric reflux and incorporate them immediately in the clinic.
