The Essentials of Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) workshop is tailored for pedodontists and ENT surgeons, focusing on the comprehensive process from diagnosis to delivery in managing sleep-disordered breathing in pediatric patients. This workshop begins with a detailed discussion on the indications for MADs, including their role in treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other related conditions in children. Participants will learn about the diagnostic tools necessary for identifying candidates for MAD therapy, such as clinical evaluations, sleep studies, and imaging techniques. The course will emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from both dental and medical perspectives to ensure optimal patient care. Hands-on sessions will guide attendees through the design and fabrication of custom MADs, highlighting essential techniques for ensuring proper fit and comfort. Participants will also learn about patient education, compliance strategies, and follow-up care to monitor effectiveness and adjust devices as needed. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped with practical skills and knowledge to successfully implement MAD therapy for pediatric patients, enhancing their ability to collaborate in treating sleep-disordered breathing effectively and improving overall patient outcomes.
