Orthognathic surgery plays a critical role in the management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly in patients with craniofacial skeletal deficiencies that are associated with upper airway collapse. This 60-minute live webinar will review how jaw structure can contribute to OSA, highlight patient selection criteria and discuss modern surgical approaches, most notably maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) and genioglossus advancement. Emphasis will be placed on airway-focused treatment planning, integration with sleep medicine/dentistry and evidence-based results, demonstrating how surgical treatment can reduce sleep apnea severity and improve overall quality of life.

From the AAOMS podcast library, Dr. Felix Amarista discusses the evolution from traditional methods to innovative techniques in minimally invasive orthognathic surgery (MIOS). Patient-specific implants (PSIs), virtual surgical planning (VSP) and surgical navigation are revolutionizing patient outcomes, streamlining procedures and expanding the possibilities in jaw surgery. For anyone interested in facial reconstruction surgery, this conversation sheds light on the innovations shaping the future of orthognathic care. Code: ODPCE250627

From busy level I trauma centers to private offices, complications in maxillofacial trauma can be challenging to manage. The goal of this plenary session is to encompass a range of complications that any OMS could encounter and methods to correct them. This session is not a show-and-tell of major maxillofacial trauma but emphasizes complications that experts in trauma have experienced and the thought processes required to solve the problem and have the desired clinical outcome.

Common and often undiagnosed, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) can have a devastating effect on the health and quality of life of patients. After early detection, comprehensive evaluation and detailed treatment planning can provide much needed surgical care for OSA patients. This session is designed to review standard and novel techniques in the assessment of the airway with an emphasis on imaging and drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Code: ODAM25SSOD38

Infection management and prevention are routine components of the modern oral and maxillofacial surgeon's practice. This 60-minute live webinar will explore recent updates to the management of complex odontogenic infections, including current guidelines for antibiotic use in these cases. In addition, surgical prophylaxis literature for routine procedures will be discussed. Participants will have the opportunity to review their current practices to optimize antibiotic stewardship as well as outcomes for surgical patients. Code: WCE260520R
