Topic: Morning Sunrise Session with MACK NEWTON
Presenter: Mack Newton
Mack Newton has trained in the Martial Arts for over 52 years and in Taekwon-Do since 1966. He has owned and operated a studio in Phoenix, Arizona for the past 24 years.
In 1981, Mr. Newton was named Head Coach of the USA Taekwon-Do Team and held that position until 1984. He is credited with creating the competition format currently being used in International Taekwon-Do competition.
Mack Newton was appointed the Conditioning Coach for the Oakland A’s Major League Baseball Team in 1985. He held that position for nine (9) years before resigning in 1993 in order to spend more time in his studio with his growing list of clients. He also worked as the Conditioning Coach for the Dallas Cowboys from 1989 to 1993. Mack has developed many new training methods and has been credited with saving and extending the careers of several Major League baseball and NFL football players. A partial list of Mack’s clients includes Former NFL 2-way star Roy Green, 5-time Pro-Bowl star Jay Novacek, 5-time Pro-Bowl star Aeneas Williams, Seth Joyner (Linebacker), MLB star Dave Stewart, MLB Hall of Famer Ricky Henderson, Sandy Alomar (Catcher), former NBA star and future Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, just to mention a few.
Mack developed “Hit n’ Run, Self-Defense for Women” in 1973 in Chicago, Illinois. The program, nationally acclaimed, is now known as “I Will Fight Back, Self-Defense for Women”.
In 1987, Mack had his left hip replaced and used his own rehab methods to regain full usage of his legs and returned to full-time teaching of Taekwon-Do and also to competition in Taekwon-Do. Two (2) years later, Mack was asked to rehab the artificial hip of former NFL quarterback Neil Lomax. Mack’s right hip was replaced in February 1994 and he continues to teach and practice Taekwon-Do on a daily basis. The fact that he has artificial joints in both hips do not limit either usage of his legs nor limits his enjoyment of his art.
As a result of the successful rehab with Neil Lomax, in 1992 he was selected to rehab multi-sport superstar, Bo Jackson. As a result of Mack’s rehab, Bo Jackson made a successful return to Major League baseball with an artificial hip. In addition, Mack has rehabilitated many non-professional athletes back to full function and a pain-free lifestyle.
In 1997 Mack Newton wrote and published his first book, “A Path to Power, A Master’s Guide to Conquering Crisis”. This book is now in it’s second printing. In 2004, Mack followed up this success by writing and publishing his second book, “The D-Factor”.
In 1996, Mack started teaching Women’s self-defense on KSAZ-TV 10’s morning show. Mack also did a weekly 1-hour radio show called “The Mack Newton Power Hour” (recordings available on http://macknewton/resources/power-hour/). In January 2000, Mack debuted his first TV Show, “The Mack Newton Power Hour”, on TV Cox 9 with co-host John Cannon.
8:30 AM
Exhibit Hall Open
9:00 AM to 9:55 AM
Topic: Comparative Bite Position Analysis; adding vertical and other dimensions to bite taking methods.
In medicine, the highest level of care would respect the phenotypic diversity of the human population. Moreover, that level of detail of care would honor precision and sensitivity to treatment involved with every individual’s unique anatomy and airway. For example, during physicians’ prescription medication formation, dosages are calibrated and attained with substantial attention for the patient’s customized treatment. The physician would consider all physiology, medical history, and anatomical characteristics for optimal outcome. So, why is it different when it comes to the bite dentists take for oral appliance therapy? This lecture help attendees understand the nature of every patient having a unique airway and anatomy.
Presenter: Dr. Jerry Hu, DDS
Dr. Hu, grew up in Soldotna, Alaska, the heart of the Kenai Peninsula and home of the world record King Salmon. He graduated from Soldotna high School in 1991, earning abundant local, state and national scholarships and was also admitted to a very competitive dual-degree program, called the “Preferred Admissions Program” at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. He knew he wanted to become a dentist ever since middle school, and being admitted to this vigorous program, he was able to attain both his bachelor’s and doctorate degree at age 24. While at Michigan Dental School, Dr. Hu earned research recognition and awards, for his study, “Searching for practical methods to monitor Streptococcus mutans levels” under Dr. Walter J. Loesche, former President of the International Academy of Dental Research (IADR) and American Academy of Dental Research (AADR).

Topic: Medical Dentists or Medical Doctors: why is it so important to distinguish who we are. Why understanding our differences is vital to our ability to successfully deliver OAT and more importantly to get paid for providing this live changing service.
Presenter: Dr. Shad Morris, DDS
Dr. Morris began observing the toll that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was taking on the oral health of his patients. In particular a friend and dental patient whom he treated suddenly passed away in his sleep from obstructive sleep Apnea one night due to not wearing his CPAP.
Dr. Morris decided he wanted to help save lives through treating OSA. In taking many continuing education courses on OSA, along with the trained staff, Premier Sleep Solutions is now saving lives daily. His involvement in sleep medicine turned from primarily screening for sleep apnea to now having very close relationships with sleep physicians and allied health professionals in the community in treating this disease.

Coffee/Tea Break and Exhibits
4:30 PM to 5:30 PM
Topic: Sleep Related Ororfacial Pains
- Review pathophysiology of Pain
- Review Pathophysiology of Sleep
- Show the interrelationship between the two
- Show how Intraoral sleep appliances can be used without causing TMD pain and bite changes
OVERVIEW
Physicians and Dentists are now becoming increasingly involved in the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Treating these disorders usually becomes more effective when the two professions work together as a team. Recent research has highlighted an increasing body of knowledge that supports the relationship between sleep and pain. Since many physicians and dentists are involved in the treatment of both, I will be presenting information that explores how sleep and pain affect each other and how treatment of both is important for thorough patient care.
Since dentists use oral appliances as part of their role in treating OSA, I feel it is important to provide information about perceived barriers to using these appliances in this treatment. A frequent concern about treating OSA with Oral Appliances is about a possible side effect of jaw pain and bite changes. I will present information on how to treat OSA using oral appliances with a significantly reduced risk of causing bite changes and pain in the face
