aaPMd, the leader in raising awareness and providing interdisciplinary education and training in airway/sleep
health and an advocate for “airway for all”, airway healtheducation and treatment for children to enable them
to reach their full potential. More healthcare practitioners are beginning to offer treatment for airway/sleep
disorders and more of the public now seek that care. The aaPMd presents this conference for all healthcare
practitioners who trulywant tounderstandthefar-reachingeffectsofairwayproblems.Thelinks toinflammation,
chronic disease, development, academic and athletic function will be explored as well as treatment choices
and treatment decisions. Help us alleviate this often-misunderstood or neglected problem by promoting
restorative sleep and healthy airways — leading to healthy breathing, leading to healthy children and adults.

The lecture will present an overview of pediatric upper airway obstruction, with particular attention to
the skeletal and soft tissue confines of the nasal airway. a variety of conditions that lead to nasal obstruction
in children will be presented. Surgical and non-surgical interventions will be reviewed along with expected
success, failure and complications. We will focus on the sequelae of mouth breathing, snoring, sleep apnea,
and oral-facial growth and their implication for the health, development and quality of life of the child.
MediCaTionS: infLuenCe on airWaY and SLeeP
Thomas Viola, rPh, CCP
for many medications and supplements, effects on sleep are not mandatory elements of the clinical
trials process. in addition, even when the sleep effects of a medication or supplement are known, the
medication or supplement may act differently in normal patients and patients who are medically complex.
This presentation will provide an overview of the medications and supplements our patients take and
the influence they may have on airway health, sleep disordered breathing, and the overall quality of sleep.

Sleep professionals have vastly different opinions about upper airway resistance syndrome (uarS),
which is usually thought of as a wastebasket diagnosis if an oSa diagnosis can't be made by
polysomnography. first coined by dr. Christian Guilleminault in 1993, it's yet to become a mainstream
diagnosis amongst the medical community. as a result, uarS alone is not sufficient as a diagnosis for
insurance reimbursement. furthermore, the archaic limitations of how apneas and hypopnea are defined
on sleep studies prevent many patients from adequate treatment, despite frequent obstructions and
arousals. in this presentation, the craniofacial origins of uarS will be reviewed, along with effective
diagnostic methodology. a practical treatment algorithm will be presented. Medical, dental, surgical,
and complementary options will be reviewed.

on any given night, 20% of americans uses sleep aides. americans spend $100 billion on sleep related
products each year and the societal costs of disturbed sleep are staggering. up to 50% of adults report
periodic sleep difficulties and clinical populations evidence far higher rates. disturbed sleep is also THe

findings from behavioral sleep medicine and will be introduced to sample case studies from my clinical
practice to better illustrate the therapeutic practice.

The healing response is dependent on complex regulatory circuits that are body-base, body-brain,
and brain exclusively. restoring and maintaining this circuitry requires energy. Mitochondria, our cellular
energy, when affected by lack of oxygen, proper nutrition and other factors can be damaged or undergo
epigenetics changes. This presentation will present exciting new scientific finding and implications that

How can you tell if food drives your health challenges? Listen! Your body is designed to communicate
with you constantly, delivering messages about what it needs. When stress hormones run high, the
messages are loud but inarticulate. in this half hour workshop, you will learn to interpret your body's
messages related to stress hormones, food choices, and the habitual or addictive behaviors that develop
in response to stress of any origin. Speaker dorothy Mullen will also introduce you to a community-
based support group called The Suppers Programs, where people cook together, eat together and
learn to live according to their intentions instead of their impulses.

Sleep has profound impacts on metabolism and food intake; conversely, nutrition can support or subvert
optimal sleep. This lecture will examine the impact of sleep on hormonally- and neurally-mediated
mechanisms of diet regulation, as well as the contributions of macronutrient balance, meal-timing,
and targeted nutritional supplementation on sleep duration and quality, with special attention to sleep
disorders. Specific attention will be given to the role of insulin resistance in sleep disorders, the impact

Jaw position and other oral structures can worsen or improve airway, sleep, tmj and cranio-facial pain
disorders. restorative, orthodontic and other dental procedures are producing these changes every
day. Many of these changes may be expressed by medical rather than dental symptoms. it is essential
for all healthcare practitioners to recognize these changes. dr. Hindin will examine how the use of
physiologic parameters, including heart rate variability, can provide insight for all healthcare practitioners
to the connection between oral structure and function and the autonomic nervous system along with
the scientific literature that supports it.

The aLf provides a subtle sensory input to the palate via passive placement. The strategically placed
omega loops serve as points of reference attracting the tongue to the palate approximating ideal rest
posture position. as the tongue assumes the normal rest posture position, it exerts gentle lateral and
anterior-posterior pressure along the wire and the omega loops. The palate structurally begins to widen
and lengthen, these changes in the palate concurrently transfer to the floor of the nose, allowing for
a volumetric improvement in nasal breathing, and an enhancement of mid-facial growth and development.

With poor facial balance and oSa in young children producing permanent brain damage in just one
night and oSa in adults placing patients at risk for virtually every chronic disease with possible early
demise, the stakes for optimizing facial development and airway have never been higher. is “managing”
airway problems the best we can do? What if we could offer patients common sense ways to increase
their tongue space/airway at any age? expansion of the maxilla is the knee jerk response we hear for
addressing oSa, but that is merely a start. Techniques for optimizing forward facial development to
increase the airway starting as early as age 3 will be outlined. non-traditional approaches to develop
the face and airway in teenagers will be contrasted with more traditional treatment. Patients who have
undergone previous retractive orthodontics have options which have been shown to eliminate oSa
by increasing the airway. dentists need to understand they are the gatekeepers of the airway through
facial development. When dentists understand this and implement approaches which optimize facial
balance and airway the profession will rightfully become the center of healthcare.

radiographic studies of the craniocervical relation in patients between 8 and 12 years of age under
orthodontic treatment have demonstrated that 65.1% are already symptomatic. The joint and/or muscular
pathology is not a problem of age; a degenerative process can be present at any age, without pain,
usually undiagnosed. The major pathological findings are related to abnormal relation between occiput,
atlas, and axis, with loss of craniovertebral centric relation. This biomechanical abnormal relation can
induce an abnormal pattern of growth and development of the occlusal plane and facial asymmetry.
This presentation will prove how craniovertebral subluxations can influence occlusal contacts that can
lead to progression of synovial TMJ pathology with or without pain; understand how craniovertebral
disorders can be a factor of oral rehabilitation relapses; and when it’s necessary to start a team approach
with Manual Therapist to restore Centricity of craniovertebral joint alignment and TMJ stabilization
for long-term stable treatments.

for many businesses. Customers don’t just want to be sold on a product or service; they want to interact
