“No longer is the dentist solely relegated to only the management of dental structures and dental-related conditions”. The role of the Dentist in diagnosis and treatment of SRBD is now well recognised. However knowledge of TMJ dysfunction is an essential requirement for the diagnosis and treatment of airway dysfunction.
The dental profession has become more aware that it can now integrate with medical specialists such as the ENT and the sleep physician. MRC has centred its treatment modalities between dental orthodontic and medical philosophies for the past 25 years.
Integrating TMJ and orthodontic diagnosis and treatment with airway evaluation and treatment has been the focus of doctor Farrell’s research for the last 30 years.
The Myobrace® System at its core treats airway dysfunction and myofunctional habits. The evolution of this system with its educational and patient motivation systems is now emerging as a revolutionary approach to allow more dental practitioners to facilitate both adult treatment with The myOSA® System and down to preventative treatment for the growing child.
This course will equip the dental team with a practical system to better understand the integration of SRDB, TMJ Disorder, malocclusion diagnosis and treatment. It will also allow the dental team to provide definitive treatment for the pediatric population which currently remains untreated.
This course gives you a unique opportunity to assist in treatment of the increasing number of adults and children with co-morbidity disorders.
Dr. Chris Farrell graduated from Sydney University in 1971 having gained a comprehensive knowledge of traditional orthodontics using the BEGG technique. Through clinical experience Dr Farrell
took an interest in TMJ/TMD disorder and following further research he discovered the aetiology of malocclusion and TMJ Disorder was myofunctional which contradicted the established views of his profession. Dr Farrell founded Myofunctional Research Co. (MRC) in 1989 to develop myofunctional appliances that would prove effective in early orthodontic treatment. His Trainer and Myobrace® appliance systems are now used by orthodontists and dentists in more than 100 countries.
“Sleep-disordered breathing is a worldwide epidemic with health and economic consequences that range from annoying to deadly” [Rogers R 2006, Sleep, Breathing and Orthodontics]
“OSA presents in 70% of heart attack patients with an AHI of 5 or above” [Kuniyoshi et al. 2008, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Day-night variation of acute myocardial infarction in Obstructive Sleep Apnea]
“Current literature demonstrates that Myofunctional Therapy decreases AHI by approximately 50% in adults and 62% in children.” [Camacho et al 2014, Myofunctional therapy to treat obstructive sleep apnea: A systematic review and meta-analysis]
“Adenotonsillectomy (T&A) improves but often does not completely eliminate pediatric OSA…the persistence of mouth breathing should be treated with Myofunctional Therapy.”[Seo-Young Lee et al 2015, Stanford University Sleep Medicine Division, Mouth breathing, “nasal dis-use” and pediatric sleep-disordered-breathing]
“Preventative measures…and usage of Myofunctional Therapy as part of the treatment of OSA are proposed to be important approaches to treat appropriately SDB and its multiple co-morbidities.”[Guilleminault C & Sullivan S 2014, Stanford Sleep Medicine Division, Towards restoration of continuous nasal breathing as the ultimate treatment goal in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea]
