Speaker:  Dr. Steffen Decker, Dr. Irene Lau, Dr. Stanley Liu

Format: 6 sessions webinars + Hands-on in Hong Kong

Period: 2026 Aug – Nov

Time: GMT+8 8pm-9pm

This course gives dental and craniofacial providers a structured, evidence-based path to clinical competence in pediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Six online modules lead into a hands-on, in-person experience in Hong Kong. Together they prepare participants to recognize, assess, and manage sleep-related breathing disorders from infancy through adolescence.

The curriculum is built on developmental biology, airway science, and multidisciplinary clinical practice. Participants learn to identify early airway and craniofacial risk factors, apply age-appropriate diagnostic reasoning, coordinate care across disciplines, and deliver timely interventions that support healthy breathing, sleep, and craniofacial development over time.

Who is this for?

Dental and craniofacial healthcare providers (DCHP) caring for paediatric patients with sleep-disordered breathing. DCHP includes general dentists, paediatric dentists, orthodontists, myofunctional therapists, speech-language pathologists, and oral surgeons. Paediatricians and ENT surgeons who seek collaborative, airway-focused sleep care with DCHP are welcome.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to

1. Understand the foundational concepts and pathophysiology of paediatric sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
2. Define the role of dental and craniofacial healthcare providers in the early recognition, risk stratification, and management of paediatric SDB.
3. Comprehend airway anatomy and craniofacial growth and development from infancy through adolescence.
4. Apply age-specific diagnostic frameworks and treatment strategies across key developmental stages.
5. Effectively utilize functional appliances, expansion techniques, clear aligner therapy, and myofunctional interventions in the management of paediatric SDB.
6. Diagnose and manage tongue-tie and lip-tie within an interdisciplinary, growth-oriented care model.
7. Implement a multidisciplinary treatment approach integrating allergy management, adenotonsillar surgery, DOME4Kids-guided care, and orthognathic surgery when indicated to optimize long-term airway, sleep, and craniofacial outcomes.
