NEWS RELEASE

Dr. Steven Boe and Dr. Stephen Page recently attended the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine’s Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, MN

• Drs. Boe and Page were able to attend a number of lectures by International Sleep Physicians, Dental Sleep Practitioners and Researchers.  The annual event aims to foster the advancement of oral appliance therapy as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnea and snoring.  The knowledge and current understanding in this evolving field are continually advancing.

An effective alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), oral appliance therapy uses a mouth-guard like device, worn only during sleep, to maintain an open, unobstructed airway. Gathering with and learning from leaders in the field of dental sleep medicine, Drs. Boe and Page reviewed new clinical studies and treatment procedures centered on oral appliance therapy that they can now incorporate into their Naples practice.

“Opportunities like these allow me to further hone my skills in dental sleep medicine and ensure that I can continue to provide my patients with the best treatment solutions for their snoring and sleep apnea”, said Dr Boe. “Many local residents need an effective alternative to CPAP, and participating in National and International Conferences as this helps me to provide cutting-edge oral appliance therapy for my patients.”

AADSM’s Annual Meeting was held in Minneapolis, MN, on May 29^th – 31^st, 2014.  It offers the opportunity for further education as attendees discuss recent advances in sleep apnea and snoring treatments, review the relationship between sleep apnea, snoring and various health problems and come to understand new evidence regarding long-term oral appliance therapy care.

Dr. Page stated, “At this conference, we were able to have valuable, face to face conversations with Board Certified Pulmonologist on a more comprehensive management approach for the health risk of Sleep Apnea patients”.  “The combined approach of researchers, practicing Pulmonologist and Dental Sleep Practitioners, provides the patient with an excellent team of contributors”.
