SEATTLE—Attracting more than 1,200 dentists and exhibitors from around the globe—a record-breaking attendance—the 24th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM) accomplished significant strides in advancing oral appliance therapy (OAT).

Hosted by the only non-profit association dedicated to dental sleep medicine, the successful three-day event included courses, sessions and lectures from some of the most distinguished clinicians and researchers in dental sleep medicine, including the keynote address from internationally recognized Gilles Lavigne, DMD, PHD, the Dean of the Faculty of Dental Medicine at the Université of Montréal.
 
“The practice of dental sleep medicine is progressing at a rapid pace—as evidenced by this year’s AADSM Annual Meeting setting the largest turnout record,” said Kathleen Bennett, DDS, president of the AADSM. “The AADSM Annual Meeting is the most effective way to share information, clinical practices and current trends.”
 
The AADSM Annual Meeting also serves as an opportunity for dentists from across the globe to present new research on dental sleep medicine. This year, three clinical awards and three student awards were presented to honor researchers who have made exceptional contributions to the practice of OAT.
 
“The AADSM awards highlight the significant research and development promoting the growth of dental sleep medicine,” said Dr. Bennett. “Each year we look forward to honoring professionals who are developing new ways to predict, measure and improve the effectiveness of oral appliance therapy to better treat sleep apnea patients.”
