Module Two Quiz: Diagnostic Tools & Techniques In-Office Screen of Sleep-Disordered Breathing

Module Two of the Pediatric Dental Sleep Mastery Course provides a practical, full-picture overview of the diagnostic tools and techniques essential for evaluating pediatric sleep-disordered breathing. Dr. Yoon begins with an in-office screening framework, outlining key signs, symptoms, and clinical manifestations to look for during routine exams, along with a structured approach to airway assessment. She then explains how to incorporate radiographic imaging into everyday practice, demonstrating how imaging enhances diagnostic accuracy and supports treatment planning in pediatric sleep medicine.

The session continues with Dr. Rafael Pelayo, who covers the fundamentals of sleep physiology and sleep studies, including how to interpret key metrics and correlate PSG findings with clinical presentation. He concludes with guidance on when to consider CPAP and other medical interventions, rounding out the module with a clear understanding of how sleep study data informs comprehensive patient care.
