CBCT can be an important diagnostic tool for the identification of upper respiratory tract pathology as well as alterations in morphology that may be relevant to the complete diagnosis of the sleep-disordered breathing patient. This talk will comprise of a step-by step demonstration of evaluation of a large field of view (16cm) CBCT for a patient with risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing. Dr. Tamimi will show how she tackles the upper respiratory tract for the review of areas of obstruction and alteration of airflow.

Target Audience
Dentists treating pediatric patients with sleep-related breathing disorders.

Objectives
