“ORTHODONTICS EMERGING ROLE IN INTER-DISCIPLINARY ASSESSMENT AND
MANAGEMENT OF UPPER AIRWAYS SYMPTOMS”
8:30 am – 9:00 am
INTRODUCING THE ORTHODONTIC TEAM TO SLEEP
DISORDERED BREATHING IN CHILDREN
Sleep disordered breathing (SBD) is a spectrum of chronic disease conditions united by a
reduced oxygen perfusion while sleeping. Even mild SBD is often associated with specific
oral and craniofacial characteristics that orthodontists are uniquely qualified to identify.
With an understanding of available clinical and radiographic tools, orthodontists can be
highly accurate for screening SDB. Furthermore, with a proper understanding of the SDB
etiology, orthodontists are important contributors to the multi-disciplinary treatment of
select forms of SDB.
This presentation will provide an overview of the etiology of sleep disordered breathing in
children to establish orthodontic context for the in-depth presentations by a team of
experts.

“ORTHODONTICS EMERGING ROLE IN INTER-DISCIPLINARY ASSESSMENT AND
MANAGEMENT OF UPPER AIRWAYS SYMPTOMS”
9:00 am – 10:00 am
SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING – A TEAM SPORT
Obstructive sleep disordered breathing is not a distinct disease but rather a syndrome of
upper airway dysfunction during sleep that can result from various different disorders.
Although the main diagnostic tool is an overnight polysomnogram (overnight recordings of
breathing and sleep), various different tools are used to make the diagnosis because of
limited access to polysomnography. The importance of diagnosis in children relates to the
associated morbidity, which can include: elevated blood pressure, daytime sleepiness,
learning problems, behavioural problems and growth failure. Adenotonsillectomy has been
the standard choice of treatment for children with obstructive sleep apnea but there is
mounting evidence that this standard treatment is unpredictable in normalizing sleep and
breathing patterns in affected children. As a result there is no consensus on the best
method of managing pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. Given that genetic background and
environmental and lifestyle factors may also play a role in the degree of upper airway
impairment, and possibly associated morbidity over the long-term, obstructive sleep apnea
may require a long-term interdisciplinary treatment approach addressing various factors
involved in upper airway impairment, including: craniofacial structure, inflammation, upper
airway tone and ventilator control for normalization of breathing during sleep. This session
will highlight evidence for the role of managing children with obstructive sleep apnea in an
interdisciplinary treatment team.

OTOLARYNGOLOGIST PERSPECTIVE
The objectives of this talk will be to outline a pragmatic approach to nasal obstruction and
associated conditions in children, discuss some surgical treatment options, and review the
experience drawn from collaborative work.
A reasoned approach for assessing children with nasal obstruction, other related
symptoms, and associated sleep complaints will be presented. This will include an
emphasis on endoscopic examination, the role of radiology, and other available tools.
Ultimately, the impact of a multi-disciplinary assessment on the otolaryngological
management of these children and the various solutions to nasal and pharyngeal
pathology will be discussed.

11:15 am – 12:00 pm
UPPER AIRWAY IMAGING
Imaging of the upper airway identifies anatomic sites of potential obstruction and enables
objective measurements before and after therapy. 3D reconstruction of the upper airways
provides a platform to apply endless quantitative, qualitative, or functional assessment.
Such analyses can be insightful to identify patients at risk of sleep disordered breathing
syndromes or disease staging, prediction or assessment of treatment outcomes. This
however demands accurate methods of segmentation and meaningful analyses reflective
of clinical changes. Imaging modalities, with main focus on cone beam CT, proper
segmentation and tools of analyses of the upper airway are discussed.

Practicing in a Populated Area:
It Can Be Done!
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to establish
and to grow an orthodontic practice in a competitive
area. Success can be measured using a variety of
yardsticks; case starts, patient satisfaction and annual
gross are but a few of the ways one evaluates one’s
practice. Even in a well-serviced area, it is rare for an
orthodontic practice not to survive but successful
practices involve much more than mere survival.
Each of the four panelists will give a 15 minute presentation on one aspect of their practice that they feel
has been elemental to their success in a competitive
area. Topics of discussion will centre on marketing,
customer service, staffing and communication, all from
the perspective of the profession in Canada. The panel
will entertain a question and answer period following
the presentation.

OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA AND ORTHODONTICS
IN ADULT PATIENTS
Oral appliances used for the treatment of adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea are regarded as a
simple, silent, bed partner-friendly, reversible, tolerable and efficacious choice and impact
a number of essential medical outcomes, including overnight sleep data, subjective and
objective measurements of sleepiness, cardiovascular functions, neuropsychological
behaviours and quality of life indices. Orthodontists, with their knowledge and training of
functional appliances and established skills to evaluate jaw position, are ideally suited to
provide oral appliance therapy in this field. Several factors contribute to their effectiveness
– appliance design and titration, severity of the sleep apnea, amount of forward
advancement, vertical opening of the mandible, positional apnea and Body Mass Index.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees of this lecture will be able to
1. recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the currently-available appliances
in the field
2. explain how to titrate an oral appliance to achieve the maximum effectiveness for the
treatment of OSA
3. analyze clinical trials that compare the effectiveness of oral appliances and how they
compare to other therapies

ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT OF CLASS II OPEN BITE
WITH TMD
Differential diagnosis of open bites according to the causing factors
Facial morphology and TMD
Extrusive, intrusive and combination mechanics
Stability
Clinical tips of combination mechanics
Summary
Open bite can be brought by various etiologic factors. Each etiologic factor results in
different types of open bites. Especially in this lecture, open bite pattern and facial
morphology change related with TMD will be explained. Open bite can be treated by one
of three mechanics; extrusive, intrusive or combined. These mechanics will be presented
with cases. Step-by-step slides and clinical tips will make it easy to understand how to
apply the mini-implants and/or anchor plates in open bite treatment. Based on the 30-year
clinical experience in open-bite treatment and more than 15-year experience of intruding
molars by using mini-implants, this lecture will provide 1) the most efficient and easiest
method of intruding posterior teeth, 2) step-by-step procedure to treat open bite with
cases, 3) stability of intruded molars, and 4) suggestions for long-term stability of
outcomes.
Learning objective 1: Attendees of this lecture will be able to perform open-bite
treatment by intruding posterior teeth.
Learning objective 2: Attendees of this lecture will understand the characteristics of
open bite with TMD.

MANAGEMENT OF UPPER AIRWAYS SYMPTOMS”
8:30 am – 9:00 am
INTRODUCING THE ORTHODONTIC TEAM TO SLEEP
DISORDERED BREATHING IN CHILDREN
Sleep disordered breathing (SBD) is a spectrum of chronic disease conditions united by a
reduced oxygen perfusion while sleeping. Even mild SBD is often associated with specific
oral and craniofacial characteristics that orthodontists are uniquely qualified to identify.
With an understanding of available clinical and radiographic tools, orthodontists can be
highly accurate for screening SDB. Furthermore, with a proper understanding of the SDB
etiology, orthodontists are important contributors to the multi-disciplinary treatment of
select forms of SDB.
This presentation will provide an overview of the etiology of sleep disordered breathing in
children to establish orthodontic context for the in-depth presentations by a team of
experts.

MANAGEMENT OF UPPER AIRWAYS SYMPTOMS”
9:00 am – 10:00 am
SLEEP DISORDERED BREATHING – A TEAM SPORT
Obstructive sleep disordered breathing is not a distinct disease but rather a syndrome of
upper airway dysfunction during sleep that can result from various different disorders.
Although the main diagnostic tool is an overnight polysomnogram (overnight recordings of
breathing and sleep), various different tools are used to make the diagnosis because of
limited access to polysomnography. The importance of diagnosis in children relates to the
associated morbidity, which can include: elevated blood pressure, daytime sleepiness,
learning problems, behavioural problems and growth failure. Adenotonsillectomy has been
the standard choice of treatment for children with obstructive sleep apnea but there is
mounting evidence that this standard treatment is unpredictable in normalizing sleep and
breathing patterns in affected children. As a result there is no consensus on the best
method of managing pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. Given that genetic background and
environmental and lifestyle factors may also play a role in the degree of upper airway
impairment, and possibly associated morbidity over the long-term, obstructive sleep apnea
may require a long-term interdisciplinary treatment approach addressing various factors
involved in upper airway impairment, including: craniofacial structure, inflammation, upper
airway tone and ventilator control for normalization of breathing during sleep. This session
will highlight evidence for the role of managing children with obstructive sleep apnea in an
interdisciplinary treatment team.

UPPER AIRWAY IMAGING
Imaging of the upper airway identifies anatomic sites of potential obstruction and enables
objective measurements before and after therapy. 3D reconstruction of the upper airways
provides a platform to apply endless quantitative, qualitative, or functional assessment.
Such analyses can be insightful to identify patients at risk of sleep disordered breathing
syndromes or disease staging, prediction or assessment of treatment outcomes. This
however demands accurate methods of segmentation and meaningful analyses reflective
of clinical changes. Imaging modalities, with main focus on cone beam CT, proper
segmentation and tools of analyses of the upper airway are discussed.

President’s Banquet:
A Touch of
Victorian Elegance
While the CAO visits a city named for a queen, it befits the members of the CAO
to dine like royalty at this year’s President’s Banquet - A Touch of Victorian
Elegance.
Tonight’s event will give you the chance to dine under the stars…literally. Join us
at the Crystal Garden, one of the most unique venues in the city. You will dine
under the stars, as you sit below a glass ceiling and enjoy the breathtaking view
of the sky as the sun sets and our evening begins.
A reception on the upper level, where you can oversee the dining room, followed
by an elegant meal will ensure that you are relaxed and ready to enjoy the rest
of the night when the band hits the stage and the CAO “dances with the stars”!
A most beautiful night in a most beautiful city, with the most beautiful friends.
What more could you ask for?
