Dentistry – Orthodontics – Airway.

Past, Present and Future

The topic of Airway dominates many aspects of dentistry and orthodontics.  Airway is far more than the nose and the mouth and ‘airway dysfunction’ is not a definable condition, it is a complex syndrome which largely involves maladaptation to modern living. The medically based solutions have not proved to be successful and there is a significant opportunity for the dental profession to become involved.

Learning Objectives

1.     Learn exactly what the airway is and how it can become compromised.

2.     Understand why the principle of night-time intervention is not the solution.

3.     Learn how it is a natural extension of the dental professional rather than being an extension of the dental surgery.
