Dental Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in a Prosthodontic Practice

Alvin G. Wee, B.D.S., M.S., M.P.H., Creighton University School of Dentistry

This presentation will provide an overview of how the prosthodontist can participate in providing treatment for patients who have been diagnosed with either snoring or obstructive sleep apnea by using oral appliance therapy. This will be a review for clinicians who are already providing this service and will also serve as a comprehensive overview of how to initiate this service. For the prosthodontist who is familiar with the oral pharyngeal region, this initiation of service is easily carried out with the fabrication of the appliance. It is necessary to learn the new terminology, how to effectively collaborate with the sleep physician, how to interpret the diagnoses and how to follow the proposed protocol.

Participating in this new area includes the following: (1) providing screening for general prosthodontic patients and head and neck cancer patients who have a high probability of obstructive sleep apnea after cancer treatment and (2) fabricating an oral appliance for patients referred by the physician. Information regarding these two capacities will be provided in this presentation.

Participating in this area of clinical practice offers several advantages. Most of the information collection, screening and clinical procedures can be performed by auxiliary staff who have been trained. Further advantages of providing this service include increasing the quality of life of patients and/or their bed partners and generating income that is usually paid by medical insurance if patients are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea.

At the conclusion of this session, the attendee should be able to:

Describe the fundamentals of sleep-related breathing disorders.
Provide a protocol for screening patients with sleep apnea.
Explain treatment for patients needing oral appliance therapy.

Functionally Designed and Prosthetically-Driven Mandibular Reconstruction

Lawrence E. Brecht, D.D.S., Langonge Medical Center & New York University College of Dentistry

Historically, the patient suffering from the resection of a mandibular tumor or destructive lesion would rarely undergo reconstruction and would be even less likely to have a functional prosthetic reconstruction as well. As the planning and surgical techniques associated with mandibular reconstruction have progressed significantly over the last 20 years, so too as the ability of the maxillofacial prosthodontist to provide a functional prosthetic reconstruction of the neo-mandible. Working closely in an interdisciplinary team setting, mandibular reconstruction can now be functionally and prosthetically designed and executed to achieve a new level of esthetic and functional outcome. The team approach to mandibular reconstruction at the Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at NYU-Langonge Medical Center will be presented as well as a historical perspective on the reconstruction of the patient with a mandibular resection will be reviewed.
At the conclusion of this session, the attendee should be able to:

Review the history of mandibular reconstruction techniques.
Describe the current state of mandibular reconstruction from prosthetic and surgical perspectives.
Provide advantages and disadvantages of currently evolving technologies associated with functional mandibular reconstruction.
