What is ProSomnus International Masterclass in Dental Sleep Medicine?
ProSomnus International Masterclass in Dental Sleep Medicine is an immersive, clinically oriented program that covers the foundations and advanced applications of sleep physiology, the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), and precision Oral Appliance Therapy. Led by Dr. Miguel Meira e Cruz, Dr. Dominik Ettlin, and Dr. Gian-Marco Widmer, this comprehensive course combines expert-led lectures, hands-on workshops, and interactive case discussions.
Participants will deepen their understanding of sleep-related breathing disorders and strengthen their role in interdisciplinary sleep medicine care. In addition to high-quality education, attendees benefit from valuable networking opportunities in a collaborative environment located just outside Barcelona—an area rich in culture, history, and Mediterranean charm.
