Snoring is a Serious Thing! – Univap 2018

At the University Dental Conference of the University of Vale do Paraíba I gave the lecture "Snoring is a serious matter! Meet Dental Sleep Medicine."

In addition to basic concepts, I talked about sleep-related diseases and how snoring is underestimated. When this is persistent and untreated, it can hide serious problems such as obstructive sleep apnea. The lack of restorative sleep prevents the balance of the body and metabolic functions, having several diurnal and nocturnal symptoms.

I spoke about the systemic consequences involved and all forms of treatment: Oral Appliance (OA), CPAP, therapy with speech therapists, otorhinolaryngological and orthognathic surgeries.
