Oral Appliance Therapy for Sleep Apnea: Treatment Planning using MATRx plus
Oral Appliance Therapy (OAT) is a growing treatment option for people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA); however, this therapy does have its challenges and limitations. During this webinar, you will hear about a practical, evidence-based solution that will increase OAT’s efficacy and improve patient care. The basis for OSA treatment planning is MATRx plus™, an auto-titrating at-home sleep testing device, that delivers reliable and predictable results, leads to higher case acceptance and better patient experience. In addition, you will learn how the use of MATRx plus will improve the relationship between the dental and medical communities and drive patient referrals.
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the limitations of current methods for implementing oral appliances in treating sleep apnea
2. To review the evidence and utility of MATRx plus in treatment planning
3. To set the stage for positive interactions with physicians
