Theme: Role of the brainstem in automation of nasal and lingual praxis in myofuctional therapy
Abstract:
There is indeed a connectionism between the neural circuits managing nasal breathing and those managing lingual posture. This last is controlled by astrocytes. This approach dependent on the brainstem, makes it possible to practice the essential functional rehabilitations during orthodontic treatment by the bottom-up approach, which means with a passive and proprioceptive approach and this from the age of 4 years.
This technique allows wearing the appliance for only 15 minutes daily for a few weeks. This will also make it possible to preserve the quality of sleep, which is very important in the transcription in the child's memory of daily learning.

Theme: Obstructive sleep apnea and orthodontics
Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious disease with profound effects on the health and quality of life of adults and children, the level of awareness of sleep apnea and related health issues is growing rapidly.
Orthodontists / dentists should be aware of the correlation between malocclusion and airways, especially in risky cases with existing symptoms or related history not just to be able to treat them properly but also to avoid causing iatrogenic OAS due to misguided treatments such like contraindicated extractions or mandibular retractions.
The recent improvements in the related diagnostic and treatment methods such as CBCT imaging, advanced polysomnoghraphy, as well as protrusion splints, conventional and surgical maxillary expansion/mandibular advancement and tongue exercises helped to increase the success rate and the importance of this field in dentistry, the aim of this lecture is to discusses the essential roles in prevention, diagnoses and treatment of OSA and to overlook the up-to-date evidence.

Theme: Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Diagnostics in Dentistry
Abstract:
Probably, one of the most undervalued general health problems for the child and the adult, is incorrect breathing. As functional orthodontists, we try to communicate our perplexity when assessing facial development of a mouth breathing child. As medical doctors, we continue to be surprised on how other general health problems are treated with medications and without assessing obstructive sleep apnea (OSAS). We have referred our patients to other centers and specialists for a correct respiratory diagnosis, but until today, it was very complicated and not accessible to most of the dental profession. Recent studies suggest that the peripheral arterial tone (PAT) systems are a valid noninvasive way to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. This lecture shows how easy it is for any dentist to start evaluating their patients and how to interpret results.

Theme: Airways and occlusion. Does an orthodontist treat breathing?
Abstract:
- Complex treatment of patients with ENT diseases;
- Influence of ENT pathologies on the dentoalveolar system formation;
- Tandem orthodontist-ENT: responsibilities assignment, the role of each in the normalization of respiratory function, etc.;
- Orthodontic treatment planning to normalize respiratory function;
- Airway volume increase with skeletal occlusion correction.
