He will also discuss the impact of resolution of malocclusion on sleep disordered breathing/obstructive sleep apnea.
Dr. Loghmanee’s lecture, “Population Sleep Health: A Case for a New Paradigm” will identify the causes of sleepiness in children and discuss the impact of sleep disordered breathing on population sleep health.
