SUMMARY:Dental Sleep Medicine Crash Course for Dental Doctors and Team Members
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThis one-day course serves as an introductory workshop for dental practitioners and staff\, offering guidance on integrating sleep dentistry into their practice. \nSleep Apnea is becoming a more frequent topic of discussion in dental practices. It is estimated to affect a billion individuals worldwide\, yet only one in five cases has been detected. It's a well-known fact that the dental office is typically the initial setting where the oropharyngeal airway receives a detailed examination. In 2017\, the American Dental Association acknowledged the pivotal role of dental offices in detecting and managing Sleep Apnea\, advocating for an in-depth assessment of airway anatomy and function within a primary dental care environment \nOne of the fastest growing areas in dentistry\, dental sleep medicine is also a source of annoyance and deflated expectations for a lot of Dentists who have invested in courses and equipment \, only to leave with no clear plan of how to incorporate dental sleep into their practice. \n\nAmerican Sleep and Breathing Academy Courses and Instructors\nAmerican Sleep and Breathing Academy “ASBA” courses are redefining successful weekend courses in dental sleep medicine. ASBA courses are led by hugely experienced ASBA Diplomates (D'ASBA)\, focusing on equipping attendees with the necessary skills to integrate sleep apnea dentistry into their practice. A key distinction lies in the Academy's policy: it prohibits vendor-specific presentations unless they include competitive or comparable products. This approach fosters open discussions on clinical best practices and revenue enhancement models\, promoting a comprehensive understanding among participants. \n\nASBA Diplomates\nEach Diplomate instructor also presents their personal strategic plan\, and shares the key decision points that make or break a new practice. This helps attendees test their understanding of the standard of practice employed by the ASBA Diplomate through open discussion. \n\nReal World Practices\nEach of the Diplomate Presenters have successful robust sleep practices in excess of $1.5M annually\, no two are the same\, each course will have minimum of 3 D'ASBA presenters. There is a tremendous amount of personalized advice and specific step-by-step instructions to aid course attendees in achieving success with their fledging sleep business. \n“Training Sleep Apnea Dentistry has become rife with folks overstating their abilities and experience. Selling substandard equipment at inflated prices to an unsuspecting group of clinicians who simply want to treat their patients.”\nDavid Gergen\, ASBA \n“This past weekend more than half of the attendees had attended more than one vendor sponsored seminar in the last year. As a group none of the attendees had managed to achieve any traction with sleep apnea dentistry in their practice.” Rudi Ferrate\, ASBA \nASBA courses are more than a series of presentations. The Academy is your ally that helps our members build their practice using our proven methods. All courses are taught by the most successful Dentists who have built sleep practices with annual revenue over $1.5 MM. \nASBA courses are unique\, affordable\, and designed to give you the tools to preform at the level of the mentors. Many past participants have left many of our courses saying that it was the most vital\, essential & powerful dental sleep learning event they’ve ever attended! \nCOURSE OBJECTIVES \n\nProper Protocol for Case Evaluation.\nHow to screen your patients\nOrder a sleep test\nHow to read a sleep test\nWhen an MD’s authorization is required to make certain appliances\nGather intake information for insurance\nHow to bill the insurance\nHow to maximize your profit with proper protocol required by insurance companies\nCase Selection once the patient has been identified having sleep apnea\nTeaching you how to select the correct appliance for the patient\nWhen to use a mandibular advancer\nWhen to use a function appliance\nWhen to use a vertical appliance\n\nIncrease Accuracy and Improve your "Sleep Bite" with the Ricketts Phonetic Bite. Taught by the David Gergen who worked alongside him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_M._Ricketts \nThe Crash Course is suited for practices starting with sleep apnea treatment and practices that have yet to achieve their potential. We feature Doctors from a wide range of markets\, from 100\,000 to 6.5M population\, who will share insight with you on they grew their dental sleep practice. Hear accounts from real ASBA members who have been in the same position you were a few years ago! \nLearn from their successes at the next ASBA Crash Course! \nRegister here:  \nREGISTRATIONS FOR THIS DATE ARE CLOSED.
