This session highlights the importance of the wider multidisciplinary team and their role in having a positive impact on the quality of life (QoL) of PWBD, as well as addressing how sleep apnea can be managed to improve QoL – an area that is not often addressed effectively. Attendees will have a chance to hear directly from patients about their experiences. At the end of the session, attendees should have a greater understanding of how the QoL of PWBD can be improved by dental professionals.
