What does that have to do with Dentistry? Everything! Oral health and systemic health are inseparable. at is the focus of this unique study club workshop. We will address the links between airway, breathing and sleep disorders, periodontal pathogens, TMD, bruxism, malocclusions, systemic in ammation, diabetes, gastric re ux, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's, leaky gut, and so much more.

Educational Objectives

We will focus on not only WHY this topic, we're calling Integrative Dental Medicine(IDM), is the future of dental medicine, but also HOW to implement steps immediately to begin screening, testing and treating these various connected issues.

* We will learn how to screen & test for sleep disorders such as UARS & sleep apnea.

* We will learn which blood markers are used to evaluate arterial and systemic in ammation.

* We will use an IDM Checklist(attached for your preview) to clinically assess the 3 Pillars of IDM:

1. Local & Systemic In ammation

2. Airway, Breathing & Sleep Disorders

3. TMD & Malocclusion

* We will use case studies to show the practical implementation of all that we learn.

* We will emphasize the ROI available for every practice that adds this expanded practice model.
