Webinar: CBCT interpretation and relevance in dental sleep medicine

---

CBCT can be an important diagnostic tool for the identification of upper respiratory tract pathology as well as alterations in morphology that may be relevant to the complete diagnosis of the sleep-disordered breathing patient. This webinar from the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine will include a step-by step demonstration of evaluation of a large field of view CBCT for a patient with risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing.

It will be held Thursday, June 8, from 7-8pm ET (6-7pm CT/5-6pm MT/4-5pm PT). Attendees can earn CE credit of 1.0 hour.

In the webinar, Dr. Dania Tamimi will demonstrate how she tackles the upper respiratory tract for the review of areas of obstruction and alteration of airflow.

Target audience

Dentists treating pediatric patients with sleep-related breathing disorders.

Objectives 

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Review the methodology of CBCT interpretation in the DSM patient,
• Identify common areas of obstruction that can alter airflow through the upper respiratory tract, and
• Review radiographic anatomy of the upper respiratory tract as it pertains to sleep-disordered breathing.
