How to discuss dental snoring and sleep apnea treatment with patients
Snoring and sleep apnea are common signs of disturbed sleep patterns. However, it can be difficult to talk to patients about snoring and sleep apnea treatment, particularly when patients see negative or humorous portrayals of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on social media and elsewhere. Patients might assume CPAP is the only option and not realize that dental sleep apnea treatment is an effective alternative. Patients may also feel strange talking to a dentist about a medical condition that has no obvious connection to the teeth, jaws or gums.

Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissue in the throat collapses during sleep, interrupting breathing. Custom oral appliances can help by repositioning the tongue and jaw to keep the airway open. Oral appliances are made by dentists trained in dental sleep medicine and work well for mild to moderate sleep apnea or when CPAP is not tolerated. Follow up visits ensure the appliance is effectively treating the sleep apnea.
Intro to Sleep Apnea for healthcare providers
This document provides an overview of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for healthcare providers. It defines what causes snoring and OSA, including how the airway narrows during sleep leading to disrupted breathing. It discusses prevalence rates for OSA and its symptoms. Screening tools like STOPbang are presented to assess risk. Testing options like home sleep tests and polysomnograms are outlined. The document reviews treatment guidelines and options for OSA, including oral appliances, CPAP, and their effectiveness and limitations. It argues oral appliances can be a good alternative to CPAP for mild-moderate OSA.
Obstructive sleep apnea_by_Naresh
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder where the muscles in the back of the throat relax during sleep, blocking the airway and interrupting breathing. Symptoms include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep, and excessive daytime sleepiness. OSA is diagnosed through an overnight sleep study called a polysomnogram. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, oral appliances like mandibular advancement devices, and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Oral appliances are effective for mild to moderate OSA while CPAP is the standard treatment for severe cases.
Cure for snoring and Sleep Apnea
This document discusses snoring, its causes, and potential treatments. It is authored by Dr. Ornouma Sriwanishvipat, an ENT surgeon. Snoring is caused by turbulent airflow from tissues in the nose and throat vibrating during sleep. Left untreated, habitual snoring can increase risks of health issues like high blood pressure. The doctor examines patients to determine if snoring is caused by issues like nasal problems, enlarged tonsils, or sleep apnea. Lifestyle changes and devices like oral appliances or CPAP machines can help. For severe cases, surgery like uvulopalatopharyngoplasty may be recommended to reduce vibrations and open the airway.
sleeping disorder and their dental relation
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) refers to breathing difficulties during sleep ranging from snoring to obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea involves cessation of breathing due to airway obstructions and is associated with excessive daytime sleepiness. Dentists can play a role in diagnosing and treating SDB through intraoral and extraoral examination to identify risks like enlarged tonsils or uvula. Oral appliances are commonly used treatments that advance the mandible to open the airway and may reduce SDB symptoms. Some studies found associations between SDB, like snoring, and increased risk of periodontal disease, possibly due to factors like dry mouth and tongue positioning during sleep.

Sleep Apnea & CPAP
Sleep apnea causes daytime sleepiness, snoring, trouble staying asleep, and restless legs. A sleep study involves spending two nights in a sleep lab where sensors monitor breathing and sleep patterns to diagnose obstructive or central apnea. If apnea is diagnosed, a second study determines the optimal pressure for a CPAP machine, which is then prescribed.
Fw Snoring
Snoring occurs as throat muscles relax during sleep, allowing tissues like the tongue and palate to vibrate and narrow the airway. More than one third of adults snore, which can disrupt sleep and strain relationships. Snoring is often due to inherited anatomical features that allow throat structures to relax and block the airway during breathing. Persistent loud snoring may indicate sleep apnea, a potentially serious condition where breathing stops for ten seconds or more. Self-help strategies include losing weight, sleeping on the side, using nasal strips, and limiting sedatives before bed. A doctor can recommend oral appliances, CPAP machines, or surgery to increase airflow if self-help does not work.

Living with Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects over 12 million Americans, causing them to stop breathing during sleep sometimes hundreds of times per night. It can be terrifying and debilitating for sufferers. Those who are obese or have heart disease or stroke are most at risk. There are two main types - obstructive sleep apnea which is caused by throat tissues blocking breathing, and central sleep apnea where the brain fails to signal breathing. Symptoms include daytime sleepiness, memory problems, and high blood pressure. Diagnosis involves a sleep study to monitor breathing and oxygen levels. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP machines, and surgeries like nasal procedures or throat reduction. Living with sleep apnea requires following an
Sleep apnoea in pcos by dr alka mukherjee nagpur m.s. india
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder of pre-menopausal women, is characterized by chronic hyperandrogenism, oligoanovulation, obesity and insulin resistance. Importantly, PCOS women are at increased risk for glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Recent reports indicate an unexpectedly high prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in PCOS. Alterations in sex steroids (i.e. high androgen and low estrogen levels) and increased visceral adiposity in PCOS could potentially contribute to the increased prevalence of OSA in this disorder. There is some evidence to suggest that there may be strong associations between the presence and severity of OSA and the metabolic disturbances that characterize PCOS. Causal mechanisms in the link between PCOS and OSA remain to be elucidated. Clinicians who manage PCOS patients should be aware of the high prevalence of OSA in these patients and systematically evaluate these women for sleep disturbances.
Provisional Mandibular Advancement Therapy (PMAD)
Dentists have a great treatment for snoring and sleep apnea and one in four of their patients suffer from these conditions.
But, their patients often get lost in a diagnostic process that is expensive and time consuming, often resulting in the patient not receiving care.

Obstructive sleep apnea
Apnea: any cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or more
OSA: periodic cessation of breathing occurs during sleep in the presence of inspiratory effort
It caused by recurrent upper airway obstruction during sleep
Snoring: produced by vibration of soft palate or oropharyngeal tissues
Factors related:
- Large tonsils
- Sleep related loss of muscle tone
- Large tongue
- Retrognathia
- Obesity
- Alcohol
- Sedative medications
Types:

1- Central: stoppage of the airflow from lack of respiratory effort
2- Obstructive: stoppage of airflow despite great effort to take in air
3- Mixed: starting as central and followed by obstructive
History:
OSA was first described by Charles Dickins in 1836 at Pickwick paper
In 1906 William Oslar said: an extra-ordinary phenomenon is excessively fat young persons with an uncontrolled tendency to sleep

Obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder. It causes breathing to constantly stop and start during sleep. There are several types of sleep apnea, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea. This type of apnea occurs when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep. The most common sign of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring and many treatments for obstructive sleep apnea are available. One treatment involves using a device that keeps your airway open while you sleep. Another option is a mouthpiece to thrust your jaw forward during sleep. In more severe cases, surgery may be an option too.
Sleep
The document discusses the importance of sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation. It notes that lack of sleep can negatively impact physical and mental health, leading to issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, memory problems and depression. It also discusses sleep disorders like sleep apnea, their costs to society, and symptoms. Diagnosis involves sleep tests of varying complexity to detect breathing issues during sleep. Positive airway pressure therapy using devices like CPAP and APAP machines is presented as the standard treatment for sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder where breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep. There are three main types - obstructive, central, and complex. Risk factors include being overweight, having a narrow throat, and certain facial structures. Symptoms include loud snoring, waking with shortness of breath, and daytime sleepiness. Diagnosis involves a physical exam and polysomnogram sleep test. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP devices, dental devices, and sometimes surgery. Losing weight and avoiding alcohol can help prevent sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea a type of sleep disorder
OSA, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea, is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep due to blocked or narrowed airways. This obstruction can lead to fragmented sleep, daytime fatigue, and other health complications if left untreated. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, and in some cases, surgery.
Sleepdisorderpresentation 131107072231-phpapp01
The document discusses common sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, COPD, and emphysema. Sleep apnea causes breathing to pause or become shallow during sleep, disrupting sleep rhythm. COPD and emphysema involve damage to the lungs and airways, making breathing difficult. Those with sleep disorders may have trouble sleeping through the night. The document then describes a company that provides sleep therapy equipment and supplies to treat various sleep and breathing conditions.

SnoreNoMore is a campaign to help the approximately 15% of Canadians who suffer from obstructive sleep disorders like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea involves breathing being stopped for 10 seconds or more during sleep, restricting oxygen to the brain. Risk factors include large neck size, increased body mass, age over 40, and family history. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues. SnoreNoMore dentists have developed simple, fast treatments that do not require masks like conventional treatments. They can identify the severity of sleep apnea and help treat it quickly and easily.

The document discusses sleep apnea, its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis and various treatment options. It defines sleep apnea as cessation of breath lasting at least 10 seconds during sleep. The main types are obstructive, central and mixed apnea. Common risk factors include obesity, retrognathia and tonsillar hypertrophy. Diagnosis involves polysomnography and questionnaires. Treatments include oral appliances, CPAP, surgery like maxillomandibular advancement and tracheostomy. The role of orthodontists is in diagnosis and oral appliance therapy.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

5. Is Sleep Apnea Significant Health Issue ? 22 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, with 80 percent of the cases of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea undiagnosed. (3) 3.American Sleep Apnea Association 4.Young et al 1993 5.Young et al 2002 15. Marcus CL, Brooks LJ, Draper KA, Gozal D, Halbower AC, Jones J, et al. Diagnosis and management of childhood obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Pediatrics. 2012; 130: 576-84. EPIDEMIOLOGY: OSA present in 25-58% of Male and 10-37% of Female. (4)(5) According to a report by American Academy of Pediatrics, depends on the population studied, the prevalence of OSAS is in the range of 1% to 5% (15) 5
6. Types of Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea. It occurs when the soft tissue in the back of your throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airway, often causing you to snore loudly. 6
7. Central sleep apnea is a much less common type of sleep apnea that involves the central nervous system, occurring when the brain fails to signal the muscles that control breathing. People with central sleep apnea seldom snore. Complex sleep apnea is a combination of obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. A) Obstructive sleep apnea. Note continued chest and abdominal effort in the absence of airflow. B) Central sleep apnea. Note absence of chest and abdominal effort, as well as absence of airflow 7
8. You have a higher risk for obstructive sleep apnea if you are: Overweight ??? (Most Important Factor) 5.Young et al 2002 6.National Institutes of Health 14.Malhotra et al 2002 • About 70% of those with OSA are obese (14) • Higher BMI associated with higher prevalence – BMI>30: 26% with AHI>15, 60% with AHI>5 – BMI>40: 33% with AHI>15, 98% with AHI>5 Obese people have extrinsic narrowing of the area surrounding collapsible region of the pharynx and regional soft tissue enlargement. Increased fat deposits posteriolateral to oropharyngeal airspace at level of soft palate, in the soft palate, and in submental area. Risk factors for Obstructive sleep apnea(6) 8
9. • Sex : Male are more likely than Female to have sleep apnea. • Age : the risk increases as you get older. • A family history of sleep apnea.
Obstructive sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder. It causes breathing to constantly stop and start during sleep. There are several types of sleep apnea, but the most common is obstructive sleep apnea. This type of apnea occurs when your throat muscles intermittently relax and block your airway during sleep. The most common sign of obstructive sleep apnea is snoring and many treatments for obstructive sleep apnea are available. One treatment involves using a device that keeps your airway open while you sleep. Another option is a mouthpiece to thrust your jaw forward during sleep. In more severe cases, surgery may be an option too.
Sleep
The document discusses the importance of sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation. It notes that lack of sleep can negatively impact physical and mental health, leading to issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, memory problems and depression. It also discusses sleep disorders like sleep apnea, their costs to society, and symptoms. Diagnosis involves sleep tests of varying complexity to detect breathing issues during sleep. Positive airway pressure therapy using devices like CPAP and APAP machines is presented as the standard treatment for sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder where breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep. There are three main types - obstructive, central, and complex. Risk factors include being overweight, having a narrow throat, and certain facial structures. Symptoms include loud snoring, waking with shortness of breath, and daytime sleepiness. Diagnosis involves a physical exam and polysomnogram sleep test. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP devices, dental devices, and sometimes surgery. Losing weight and avoiding alcohol can help prevent sleep apnea.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea a type of sleep disorder
OSA, or Obstructive Sleep Apnea, is a sleep disorder characterized by repeated interruptions in breathing during sleep due to blocked or narrowed airways. This obstruction can lead to fragmented sleep, daytime fatigue, and other health complications if left untreated. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, and in some cases, surgery.
Sleepdisorderpresentation 131107072231-phpapp01
The document discusses common sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, COPD, and emphysema. Sleep apnea causes breathing to pause or become shallow during sleep, disrupting sleep rhythm. COPD and emphysema involve damage to the lungs and airways, making breathing difficult. Those with sleep disorders may have trouble sleeping through the night. The document then describes a company that provides sleep therapy equipment and supplies to treat various sleep and breathing conditions.

SnoreNoMore is a campaign to help the approximately 15% of Canadians who suffer from obstructive sleep disorders like sleep apnea. Sleep apnea involves breathing being stopped for 10 seconds or more during sleep, restricting oxygen to the brain. Risk factors include large neck size, increased body mass, age over 40, and family history. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious health issues. SnoreNoMore dentists have developed simple, fast treatments that do not require masks like conventional treatments. They can identify the severity of sleep apnea and help treat it quickly and easily.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

MERCURY GROUP.BHMS.MATERIA MEDICA.HOMOEOPATHY
Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Treating Sleep Apnea
- 2. 2 -Sleep apnea is the temporary cessation of breathing during sleep. It's often times indicated by snoring, and typically, sufferers will wake up gasping for breath. -Signs and symptoms of sleep apnea: •Excessive daytime sleepiness •Wake up feeling NOT refreshed •Difficulty in concentration •A difference in your level of attention •Frequent nighttime urination •Loud snoring •Stopping breathing at night WHAT IS SLEEP APNEA
- 3. 3 -The disease can cause serious health issues, such as increased blood pressure and the restriction of oxygen to the brain and bloodstream. Health problems that sleep apnea can cause: • Heart attack • High blood pressure • Stroke • Diabetes • Fibromyalgia • Renal disease • Erectile dysfunction • Heartburn • Morning headaches • Depression WHY IS IT DANGEROUS?
- 4. 4 TREATMENT OPTIONS: CPAP1 Tongue Retaining Devices Mandibular Repositioning Dental Appliances 2 3
- 5. 5 • CPAP is a mask worn on the nose or over the mouth connected to a machine that forces air past the obstruction in your throat and allows you to breathe while you are asleep. • While it's one of the more commonly-known treatments for CPAP, many people cannot tolerate it or find it ineffective. CPAP
- 6. 6 These are customized oral devices that help prevent the tongue from blocking the airway during sleep. TONGUE RETAINING DEVICES
- 7. 7 • These devices push push the tongue and jaw forward to prevent blocked airways. • TAP (Thornton Adjustable Positioner) and the EMA (elastic mandibular advancement) are both great oral appliances. MANDIBULAR REPOSITIONING DENTAL DEVICES
- 8. 8 • While CPAP works well, many people cannot tolerate sleeping with the mask. Statistically, oral devices have a better compliance rate (meaning patients are more likely to wear them long term). • Many don't realize that there is another option for mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, but oral devices can help you! BENEFITS TO ORAL DEVICES
- 9. 9 • Oral devices can only be made by your dentist, so schedule an appointment to discuss your options. • Most medical insurances are now paying for the TAP and EMA appliances. TALK TO YOUR DENTIST ABOUT TREATMENT OPTIONS
- 10. If you’re tired of the noisy CPAP machine, you’re in luck — we have a better option! Oral appliances are most effective in the treatment of mild to moderate sleep apnea and must be prescribed by a physician and fitted by a dentist, oral surgeon or ENT who has sleep medicine experience. Our office is able to prescribe and fit these devices!
