First Citizens Bank 4th Annual Dental Symposium
About this Event
Join us for an in-depth, research-driven seminar with Dr. Soroush Zaghi, an internationally recognized ENT sleep surgeon and thought leader in airway-centered care.
Drawing on training from Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and Stanford University, Dr. Zaghi will explore the interconnected roles of tethered oral tissues, mouth breathing, nasal obstruction, and obstructive sleep apnea. Attendees will gain insight into modern, multidisciplinary treatment strategies that integrate myofunctional therapy, frenuloplasty, airway-focused surgical techniques, and maxillofacial development support.
This session emphasizes collaborative care models and practical clinical applications grounded in current research and evolving surgical protocols. Designed for providers seeking a deeper understanding of airway health, the seminar offers actionable insights applicable across dentistry, medicine, and therapy-based disciplines.
Ideal for:
Dentists, orthodontists, physicians, myofunctional therapists, speech therapists, and allied health professionals involved in airway, sleep, and craniofacial care.
