Photo/Manafinf Editor Robert Selleck, DTA Otolaryngologist to join cadaver workshop A popular workshop at CDA Presents The Art and Science of Dentistry that uses cone beam computed tomography to preview and identify head and neck anatomy prior to and during dissection will return to the San Francisco conven- tion this fall — with an added element. Joining Homayon Asadi, DDS, and David Hatcher, DDS, as a lecturer will be Nancy Appelblatt, MD. Appelblatt, an otolaryngologist, has had an abiding interest in sleep and sleep-disordered breathing since the early 1990s and has lectured extensively on sleep-disordered breathing in the U.S. She will bring to the hands-on workshop her perspective and expertise, providing a new focus on temporomandibular joint dysfunction and airway-related anatomy and disorders. “We learn so much from cone beam in terms of the anatomy that I deal with, and cross-culturally with the dentist, that it’s turned out to be very fruitful to look at things from a circumferential point of view,” said Appelblatt, who attended the CDA Presents Anaheim workshop to plan her participation as a lecturer at the San Francisco workshop. Appelblatt attended in an unofficial capacity but occasionally contributed to the discussion, and Hatch- er observed the value that her clinical perspective added to the course. “I noticed we were really able to put the anatomy in clinical context a little better than we did before,” Hatcher said. “Every time we came upon a piece of anatomy we talked about the clinical correlations of that anatomy, including some of the red flags and areas of concern.” For ex- ample, anatomic changes can occur when breathing changes over the years and these changes can be seen in some of the soft tissues. “It’s helpful to corre- late those changes when looking at the anatomy and at normal or abnormal ra- diographs,” Appelblatt said.
