DESCRIPTION
This project was carried out by fifth year students from UDD’s Dentistry program in the orthodontics course together with students from Universidad Europea de Madrid. The main topic was sleep-disordered breathing (SDB).
Students from both countries attended a virtual class based on the topics of airway, SDB/ OSAHS (obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome) and conducted by Dr. Pilar Santelices (Chile) and Dr. Nicolás Gil Abanto (Spain).
In a second stage, each course was divided into three groups and they were given a topic to be developed. Each country chose a representative so that they could work together on a final presentation. The idea was that students could analyze and investigate, through scientific journals, incidences, orthodontic treatment and OTL treatments of SDB in children and adolescents, in Chile and Spain.
The last stage was the presentation from Chile and Spain, which was conducted synchronously.
