“As an educator who teaches occlusion, it has taken me a lifetime to understand everything we have taught about occlusion has been based on a cookie cutter approach based on anecdotal observations.  The unintended consequence has been the creation of occlusal camps teaching concepts without any scientific rationale.  Correct diagnosis and treatment decisions demands a complete understanding of the medical model, and this means unlearning many of these engrained myths.  Dr. Barry Glassman teaches honest evidenced based, global concepts that will provide you with the ability to see past these occlusion-based fallacies and allow you to provide the best treatment for your patients.”

“In working with Dr. Glassman, I found a patient and kind mentor that expected more from me than any post-doc CE on sleep.  Having over 300 hours logged on sleep-specific continuing education, I can, without a doubt, say that Dr. Glassman’s course was not only the most challenging but also the most fruitful.  The course help me to understand the literature in a way that translated to extreme confidence in my patient care.  This has, no doubt, led to more patients moving forward in treating their sleep-disordered breathing & improving their life.  Thank you, Dr. Glassman!!!!”

“This course is by far the best CE courses I have ever attended in terms of structure, presentation style and quality of content and I highly recommend it it. With his very engaging style Dr Barry Glassman has an amazing ability to inspire others to become critical rather than linear thinkers. His evidence-based approach of using science rather than logic to guide our clinical art with an ultimate goal of improved patient care is very refreshing. Ultimately his emphasis on refining communication skills with our patients and all key members of the otherwise complex sleep ecosystem like the Sleep Physician, Primary care physician, sleep labs, dental labs etc. in a format they can relate to is very liberating. If you are ready to Quantum leap your Dental sleep Medicine practice to the next level look no further!!!! This is it!!!”

Dr. Glassman is and continues to be my mentor in sleep medicine, and like so many of those he mentors, my friend. He is a consummate professional and an excellent educator. My clinical skills in treating sleep apnea patients has improved one. hundred percent under his guidance.

I have learned more about the mechanisms and treatment of Sleep Disordered Breathing and TMJ disorders (TMD) from Barry than anyone else.

During the past 12 years, I have watched him bring his passion for science, people, medicine, and dentistry to the medico-dental community.

His seminal lectures have influenced and informed many of today’s respected opinion leaders and they’ve gone forth to exponentially share their own message with his experience as their foundation. He’s an unsung hero in the field.

Barry bucks conventional norms and marches to the beat of his own drum. This can be off putting to some but it is refreshing to most. His audiences get an unfiltered, unbiased, science-supported, and experience-bolstered rollercoaster ride through his time in private practice, in academia, and in life.

He is unapologetic and doesn’t adhere to slides or schedules. His emphasis is on imparting what he’s learned, read, and seen so that practitioners can make informed decisions regarding their patients’ care. Barry has always shared information freely, providing research references, slides, and insights. This has been done with glib commentary as he effortlessly crafts a narrative bringing you along to arrive at your own conclusion…always leaving a bit smarter and feeling a bit dumber for not figuring it out yourself. I’m a cynic, a skeptic, and an astute detector of charlatanism.

After hearing Dr. Glassman lecture many times about the way he practiced, about the connections he formed with patients, and the transformative impact he had on so many of their lives, I assumed hyperbole had run amok. Then, I spent a couple days at his office. I observed him practice everything he preached; uninterrupted focus on his patients to make them feel like the only people in the world, critical evaluations of their presentation, and a singular focus on their wellness. I was astounded and wildly impressed. His laugh is infectious. His experience is vast. His passion is unparalleled. I’m thankful to call Dr. Barry Glassman a mentor and friend.

An opportunity to learn from Barry at a course or in a sidebar conversation is one that should never be passed up.

“Dr. Barry Glassman is a passionate and knowledgeable educator who prides himself by ‘keeping it ‘real.’ His evidenced-based programs provide exactly what you need to know to confidently implement the management of both orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine in your practice.”

TMD Occlusion and Parafunctional Control Course

I want to thank you and the rest of the speakers for a great and very useful course. I'm glad I did attend because I'm having patients at the office that are needing this type of knowledge and diagnostic skills. I feel grateful to have found a group with similar views on managing patients with pain in a more comprehensive and human way. There is a lot of mismanaging in this area back here. I don't have many peers to refer that I know have this type of approach and understanding of orofacial pain. There seems to be an idea that all that has to do with joint and pain are referred to OMS which in my experience have a whole different concept and management.  Thank you.   I plan to return to future courses

Dr. John Vander Woff

“I was extremely impressed with Dr. Glassman’s presentation of the current science of oral appliances for the treatment of sleep breathing disorders.

This course examines the disorder from aetiology through diagnosis and medical options in a way that most “appliance” courses don’t investigate. In House: Many courses offer a select view of one case for the purpose of the presenter’s slide show. The in house course allows participants an opportunity to see how Dr. Glassman’s practice actually runs on a patient-to-patient basis. Although it seems obvious, the benefits of seeing the inner workings of a practice greatly eclipses the selected glimpses one gets from a lecture format. ABC’s of TMD:

Before meeting Dr. Glassman, I would have said that “TMD” was overwhelming and confusing. This course put diagnosis and patient care first with emphasis on the science to guide patient treatment.

Finally, the disorders that surround the temporomandibular joint were put into perspective. I took Barry’s sleep and in-house pain class when I 1st started providing services in these areas in 2004.

I found Barry’s classes to be straight forward and practical. He also helped me in how to think as I consider each patient and their concerns and symptoms. My practice is limited to orofacial/ craniofacial pain and dental sleep medicine and I continue to use the principles Barry taught me in 2004.”

“I would highly recommend Dr. Barry Glassman’s seminars to any dentist interested in sleep medicine, beginning or advanced. I have taken both programs and spent a day observing him treat patients. He is one of the most passionate and dynamic speakers in dentistry today and practices what he preaches. His programs are packed with valuable information and protocols that you will be able to implement as soon as you return to your office without the need to purchase expensive equipment.”

Lynn Stine DDS Vincennes, Indiana

“This Course is packed full of practical information that may be applied in my office to patients immediately. Dr. Glassman is passionate in the delivery of his knowledge about TMD and Occlusion for the improvement of our patients and profession.”

Dr. Ron Murstein

“This was my fourth intro course in dental sleep medicine. If this were my first, it would have been my last. Great course. Great instructor – passionate; enthusiastic; comprehensive. Wonderful program. Well Presented. Great material and a great in office experience.” 

Dr. Bill Bucher

“Down to earth; transparent, Barry is obviously knowledgeable and humorous. This program will propel me into action. The small group setting and the ability to ask questions and get no nonsence truthful answers made this seminar outstanding. I need to send my son to the “occlusion: course!“

Dr. A. Wilson

“I had been looking for a course throughout my career that would be taught by Dr. Glassman and I was not disappointed. The course was related to Obstructive Sleep Apnea and treatment with Oral Appliance Therapy. This course was challenging and thought provoking. I learned more about thinking critically and thoroughly examining research. Truly understanding a subject takes more than just listening and believing what any given guru has to say about a subject, rather you need to be able to look behind the claims and discern what is true based on true science.

I highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to truly learn about OSA /OAT and who desires to let the science drive the art of their practice.”

“I cannot say enough about Dr. Barry Glassman’s Diplomate course.  His course is unorthodox and definitely unlike any other courses I have ever taken before!  He has given me the knowledge and confidence I needed to not fear the unknown.  His practices and teachings are based on scientific literature and evidence based medicine.  I have been treating sleep apnea for a while, yet I still learned so much from Dr. Glassman.

He also teaches a very IMPORTANT aspect in treating sleep apnea patients...COMMUNICATION.  I use the verbiage he taught us, every single day with patients.  He is not only an extremely knowledgeable instructor, but a passionate and kind one as well.  I have never seen an instructor care so much for his students the way Dr. Glassman does.  As busy as he is, he always selflessly found time to answer any questions I had and discuss difficult cases with me.  He will always be known as a significant part of my educational journey.  I feel very lucky to have had him as my instructor and mentor. 

Thank you Dr. Barry Glassman!

Thank you  Barry , Jim Boyd and Don Malizia, for a great course last weekend. Crappy weather, but didn't matter. Still warmer then NJ. I've been using NTI's and AMPSA.s for a long time, but also using some full coverage. I was hoping to gain the understanding of why these anterior stop appliances worked so well, and your weekend course answered these questions ( and many more) for me by explaining the science behind it. This is exactly what I needed to feel confident when I recommend these appliances to my patients, and the times when a full coverage might be better. No more second guessing! . I also enjoyed that the course wasn't just a presentation, but also a relaxed roundtable of discussion, allowing questions and answers throughout, but not in a disruptive way. So enjoyable!  I also met some great colleagues and shared thoughts and ideas with them. I really great group of people from some far away states.   You and Sharon were wonderful hosts as well. Thank you again . Mark Sheklian

I attended the TMJ class back in September of 2022. I have seen an immediate positive impact in my practice since the course, both financially and in my confidence treating these cases. 

Finally I understand what is going on with my patients that have bruxism and can help them appropriately. I also appreciate that Dr. Glassman remains readily available for questions.
