SLU Orthodontics
July 2020
Greetings
I'm sure everyone has had a hard time facing this unprecedented situation. CADE has also suspended patient care for more than two months. However, we never stop learning. We have conducted online seminars during this time. Many full-time and part-time instructors, SLU alumni, and guest speakers have helped our students continue their education. We have made every effort to prevent the extension of the training period -- especially for students graduating this year. Our students were able to use this time effectively for their research projects. All 14 third-year students were able to show their research presentations in front of the entire class and all the professors.
I hope everybody is staying safe during these times. We can all get through this together.
Regards,

Orthodontics in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients: A Guide to Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, and Interventions
by Su-Jung Kim (Editor), Ki Beom Kim (Editor)
This book is an up-to-date guide to orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment delivery in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim is to present the latest knowledge on the important contribution that orthodontic modalities can now make in the management of a disorder that has generally been the preserve of sleep doctors. This book comprises three parts of general understanding of OSA and medical approaches, orthodontic diagnostic process, and orthodontic treatment application. In particular, the treatment parts are subdivided into six chapters depending on the patient’s phenotype and age groups. The readers will come to realize how many modalities are available beyond the previously well-known options, and how important orthodontic contributions are for the treatment of OSA patients. The book will be an excellent resource providing well-organized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols from an orthodontic point of view and will also be of value to other practitioners with an interest in OSA.
