We are pleased to welcome Dr. Gilles Lavigne and Dr. Avram R. Gold as our featured guest speakers at the April 1 and 2, 2016 Step Up to Introductory and Advanced Sleep Dentistry Continuum in Columbus, Ohio.
View the brochure.
Dr. Lavigne combines the worlds of academia and sleep research,clinical practice and treatment of patients, and education of predoctoral students. His contribution to sleep's body of knowledge is vast, having published hundreds of papers on wide-ranging topics pertinent to sleep-disordered breathing and parasomnias. He gives a thorough foundation of sleep, sleep disorders, and sleep disturbances (arousals). He details the consequences and comorbidities of obstructive sleep apnea, and covers an extensive list of treatment options, including positional therapy, sleep hygiene, mandibular advancement appliances, CPAP, surgical options and pharmacologic agents. Dr. Lavigne's treatment of sleep bruxism, temporomandibular disorder, muscle and pain issues, and rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) is impressive.
Avram R. Gold, MD

 Dr. Gold links sleep-disordered breathing to functional somatic syndromes and anxiety disorders via an out of the box paradigm. The iconoclast posits a connection via hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation, a theory that moves away from commonly held beliefs.
Dr. Avram Gold, MD is a board certified pulmonologist in Smithtown, New York. He is currently licensed to practice medicine in New York. He is affiliated with Stony Brook University Hospital and Northport VA Medical Center. Learn more about Dr. Gold
