Your Airway:
What Snoring and Mouth Breathing Reveal About Health
presented by Trisha O’Hehir
This course explores the often-overlooked consequences of mouth breathing and snoring, connecting these habits to broader oral-systemic health concerns. Participants will gain insight into how airway dysfunction affects inflammation, sleep quality, and disease progression. Through clinical examples and behavioral strategies, attendees will learn how to identify, educate, and support patients dealing with these issues.
Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
Identify the oral and systemic health implications of chronic mouth breathing and snoring.
Explain the physiological mechanisms linking airway dysfunction to inflammation and disease.
Recognize clinical signs of compromised nasal breathing and its impact on oral health.
Develop strategies to educate patients and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams for airway-focused care.
Periodontal Instrumentation with EASE
presented by Jeanie Suvan, DipDH, MSc, CRA, FHEA, PhD
Course Description:
Start with the end point clearly in mind — and periodontal instrumentation becomes far easier, more predictable, and more successful.
The EASE approach (Evaluate → Access → Set → Execute) ensures effort is applied precisely when and where it is needed. This strategic method reduces clinician fatigue, prevents patient harm, and avoids the inefficiency of over- or under-instrumentation. Not every periodontal site requires the same time or number of strokes.
By following this patient-centered framework, you can shift your perspective from exhaustion to EASE while achieving optimal clinical outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
Evaluate their current approach to periodontal instrumentation
Recognize the differences presented by various periodontal sites
Identify a patient-based, individualized approach to periodontal instrumentation
Implement the EASE approach to improve health outcomes and reduce clinician fatigue
