Question and answer

Summary

Our symposium would offer an international perspective on potential strategies to prevent the development of obstructive sleep apnea in adults by incorporating interventions in children. Our proposed faculty has established expertise in the field of obstructive sleep apnea in both adults and children. OSA is clearly a familial disorder. The possibility that children and other family members of adult patients with established OSA may have their their risk of developing the disorder merits discussion and future research

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this CME activity, participants will be able to:
• Review the evidence and roadblocks for OSA prevention
• Discuss the evidence for dental, and orthodontic interventions for OSA prevention
• Discuss modifiable risk factors associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and analyze evidence for prevention of the disease.
• Explain the possible future pathways to prevent OSA in adults
