An Introduction to Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM) and Airway Dentistry. Engineering better sleep with Oral Appliances course is designed for dentists who wish to incorporate effective, non-invasive treatment of sleep-related breathing disorders, such as snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), into their clinical practice.
The programme combines theoretical learning with hands-on training, providing a clear understanding of how oral appliances work, how to assess and monitor patients safely, and how to integrate mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy into daily practice.
Participants will gain practical experience with the OrthoApnea NOA appliance, including prescription and customisation via the ApneaDock online platform, protrusive registration techniques, fitting and adjustment protocols, supported by clinical case discussions and interactive group sessions.
The course will be made up of a mixture of didactic learning and practical “hands-on” experience teaching designed to provide

• An overview of sleep disordered breathing with special reference to the association of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and snoring.
