Mastery 2 builds on the knowledge and clinical proficiency gained in Mastery 1 with continued emphasis on skill development to manage a broad spectrum of cases and severities of obstructive sleep apnea. Lectures will develop a more in-depth understanding of all aspects of dental sleep medicine, including administrative strategies for practice growth. An in-person, two-day workshop will provide clinical chairside confidence and prepare students to submit two required oral appliance therapy cases on real patients.
Completion of Mastery 1 is required to participate in Mastery 2. After completing both courses, dentists will be eligible for the ABDSM certification examination. To learn more about the ABDSM exam, click here.

Mastery 2 Practical Workshop New for 2023!
In 2023, those who register for Mastery 2 will be required to attend the Mastery 2 Practical Workshop. This experiential, two-day workshop will take place at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry in downtown Chicago, IL.
Attendees will participate in small-group, roundtable discussions focused on challenging case presentations involving treatment planning, device selection and design, finding therapeutic position, side effect resolution and long-term patient management. Under the supervision and guidance of Mastery faculty, attendees will also participate in chairside exercises designed to apply their didactic learning from Mastery 1 and Mastery 2. Attendees will gain confidence in their clinical abilities and to provide optimal patient care. The oral appliances that will be used in clinic and for close inspection will include all common styles, materials, retention mechanisms and calibration strategies.
Following interactive demonstrations, attendees will be encouraged but not required to participate clinically in peer-to-peer comprehensive head/neck and oral examinations, full arch impressions and construction bite capture. All appropriate materials, equipment, scanners, instruments, and PPE to participate in the workshop will be provided by the AADSM. Oral appliances consisting of various materials, styles and design features will be manufactured and ready for small group delivery on Mastery faculty, all necessary supplies provided. Key learning objectives for delivery exercises include insertion considerations, adjustment techniques and patient coaching.
Recognizing that advanced clinical practice weighs heavily on patient history, differential diagnosis and decision making, attendees will treatment plan real patient cases including device design, calibration strategies and identification of treatment endpoints.
Dates and Location
The workshops will take place at the University of Illinois Chicago College of Dentistry, located at 801 S. Paulina St. in Chicago, IL.
The remaining Mastery 2 Practical Workshop will take place on Saturday, October 21 (7:30am-5:45pm) - Sunday, October 22 (7:30am-2:45pm). This workshop is sold out.
