Re-thinking oral appliance therapy: treatment choices and combinations

Join Dr Fernanda Almeida for this webinar reviewing oral appliance therapy, focussing on treatment preference and combination therapy approaches, including recent trials using both CPAP and oral appliance therapy.

 

It will feature a comparison of oral appliances to CPAP in terms of efficacy, adherence, symptoms and health outcomes, along with highlighting the importance of treatment preference and patient-centred outcomes. You'll leave the webinar with a solid understanding of the potential role of combination therapy approaches in enhancing outcomes for patients.
