About this book
This first of two volumes presents groundbreaking information on sleep apnea in children and youths. It provides easily comprehensible instruction ideal for students; practicing dental, medical, and allied medical practitioners; and researchers who wish to expand their knowledge base on this critical interdisciplinary topic. The book contains practical and well-documented case examples, which are not theoretical but illustrate common patient problems and effective, unparalleled interdisciplinary treatment strategies.
There is a disconnect on how health professions perceive and treat the causes of upper airway conditions. Various comorbidities can result from sleep apnea, oxygen deprivation, and upper airway conditions. This book connects oropharyngeal structure to metabolic disease through the practice of teledontics. Teledontics as a new interdisciplinary integrative medicalâdental approach for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea is emerging rapidly. It relates oxygen needs of the body in addition to other nutritional requirements, focusing on how oxygen insufficiency can lead to multiple health comorbidities.
