Dental Sleep Medicine Mini-Residency Overview

This 4-session, 64 CE credit program is a comprehensive educational experience for implementing airway and sleep apnea treatment into a dental practice.

Led by leading mentors in dental sleep medicine, Dr. Mayoor Patel, DDS, MS, Dr. Terry Bennett, DMD, and Rose Nierman, this program features a multi-disciplinary faculty with 7 renowned lecturers including a sleep physician, ENT, neurologist, an RPSGT.

To provide a unique, personalized experience, each Mini-Residency class is limited to the first 23 live participants. This allows us to devote the necessary time to each practitioner’s background and individual goals in dental sleep medicine. The class becomes a cohesive group during the 4 sessions with open discussions and idea-sharing.

With an emphasis on hands-on and practical integration, dentists will gain the skills, knowledge, and blueprints needed to incorporate sleep apnea treatment into a dental practice successfully.

Dentists receive 2 sleep apnea appliances for themselves as they do hands-on walkthroughs of the entire workflow including the patient questionnaire/examination / workup, sleep apnea appliance bite registrations, appliance delivery and fitting, and follow-up/calibration appointments.

The class even has the opportunity to shadow an AASM accredited sleep lab throughout the program.

In between each session, the class maintains group discussions and are given assignments to complete, including literature to read, and cases to prepare. Team members are also given tasks to work on, such as communication scripts and physician outreach goals.

By the end of session 4, the dental practice should be confidently treating obstructive sleep apnea patients, have physician referral networks in place, medical insurance reimbursement implemented, be ready for various dental sleep medicine accreditation programs, and have their practice set-up for dental sleep medicine success.
