Dr. Katherine Phillips Guest Lectures at AADSM's Dental Sleep Medicine Course

Dr. Katherine Phillips, DDS recently guest lectured at the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine’s Advances in Dental Sleep Medicine Coursein Las Vegas on Oct 6-7th 2018.

Speaking to an audience of experienced dentists Dr. Phillips shares her success in treating over 5000 patients using Oral Appliance Therapy as an alternative to CPAP and how to avoid failure’s including:

• Matching the patient to the right oral appliance – With over 50 oral appliances to choose for your patient it’s important to use the one that gives your patient the highest probability of successful treatment.
  
• Proactively managing the titration process – Getting your patients to a therapeutic treated position is the goal. Getting them to that point comfortably requires management!
  
• Working with different labs to get it right – Lab results will vary. It’s important to know what to look for and what to ask of your labs to ensure your patients success.
  
• Alternative treatments – Dr. Phillips uses Combination Therapy and Custom Mask Treatments that include the use of a CPAP machine along with a Mandibular Advancement Device when oral appliances aren’t sufficient on their own.
