Podcasts about craniofacial pain

According to our guest, Dr Stephanie Vondrak, if you want to make sure your restorative work is going to last, you need to know about the entire occlusal system, and that includes the TMJ. So Dr. Vondrak sought out CE courses taught by TMJ experts which have given her not only the ability to understand and diagnose TMJ disorders, but to actually treat them. She starts with protective therapy and then if necessary, proceeds with corrective therapy. Treating TMJ disorders in house is not for every GP, but, understanding the options for your patients is certainly the responsibility of the general dentist. Dr Vondrak owns and operates a private practice in Elkhorn, Nebraska. She has pursued over 600 hours of post-doctorate education in TMD, occlusion, orthodontics, and sleep apnea including the Pankey Institute, the Schuster Center, and the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain.

In this episode we speak with Mitch Marder,DDS a well-known Biological Dentist. We speak about such important topics like mercury amalgams, root canals, and how oral health is actually related to the entire field of health and medicine. For years, the field of dentistry has been seen as a distinct aspect of health focused on this “box” we call the mouth, yet we know how oral health is linked to brain health, gut health, and cardiovascular health. Conditions like gingivitis are associated with disease process elsewhere in the body and Dr. Marder opens our minds about holistic approaches to cavities and root canals. Dr. Marder has been working in biomedical dentistry for over 30 years. His philosophy is that each person who entrusts their care to him deserves his best. Dr. Marder is a member of the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain, International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, Environmental Dental Association, Holistic Dental Association, American Orthodontic Society, American Academy for Functional Orthodontics, and Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine. His special interests are in Craniofacial Development (assisting the growing skull and cranium), Treating Sleep Disorders – being aware of the airway (apnea, snoring), Facial Pain – treating TMJ and headache issues, Dental Implants (introducing non-metal implants), and holistic care. He earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (D.D.S) from the University of Illinois in 1981 and his Bachelors in Art in Biology from Northwestern University in 1977. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/adam-rinde/support

The use of anterior mid-point stop appliances (AMPSAs) in Dentistry is surrounded with controversies and misconceptions, so I am joined by Dr Barry Glassman in this episode to answer this much debated question. Attending Dr Glassman’s lecture last year was eye opening and career-transforming for me. It changed the way I thought about Occlusion! Attending Dr Glassman’s lecture last year was eye opening and career-transforming for me. It changed the way I thought about Occlusion! In this Episode with Dr Barry Glassman we discuss: To what extent are occlusions designed for Function? How much does Occlusion matter? Why canine guidance? Do Anterior midpoint stop appliances cause posterior teeth to over-erupt? When to avoid using AMPSAs? What mechanism is behind patients developing AOB after splint therapy?   This is an example of a lower NTI or SCI (Sleep Clench Inhibitor). This falls in to the category of an anterior mid-point stop appliance (AMPSA) TLDL (Too Long Didn’t Listen): Jump to 22 mins and 30 seconds if you want the main question answered.

http://www.laserdetox.com/about Laser Detox  http://learntruehealth.com/laser-detox/ One of the latest methods of healing is through laser detox. It can be regarded as a futuristic form of laser treatment that can cure people suffering from bacteria, fungus, virus, parasites, heavy metals, detox, pesticides, plastics, chemicals, autoimmune, cancer, fibromyalgia and Lyme disease. Dr. Doug Phillips has administered laser detox to a lot of patients, and I’m thrilled to have him on this episode to talk about it. Former Profession Dr. Doug Phillips did not immediately start his career offering laser detox services to patients. In fact, he started out as a dentist. For almost four decades, Dr. Doug Phillips centered his focus on jaw dysfunction, facial pain and chronic illness which can lead to a lot of other health problems. With his office initially based in Palm Beach, he researched to learn more about the immune and autonomic nervous system, as well as the importance of detoxing our body from toxins and pathogens, often found in our jaw. “My step by step growth was inspired by the Lord. I kept learning and growing, and I am still learning now. We are never done,” said Dr. Doug Phillips. American Academy of Craniofacial Pain In the mid-80s, Dr. Doug Phillips was one of the 15 dentists who performed at the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain. Apparently, the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain is the most significant association of dentists and other experts whose focus is on craniofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, and dental sleep medicine. Dr. Doug Phillips recalled one patient, wherein initially, no one knew the real cause of that person’s face pain. Dr. Doug Phillips put something on both sides of the mouth, and the pain subsided! “I found one spot and touched it with a drill. The pain was all gone. It made me see how important that was. From there, I learned more,” Dr. Doug Phillips said. The American Academy of Craniofacial Pain was established in 1985 by a group of experts who wanted to promote clinical skills as well as educate people in this field. The organization holds a summer conference in the United States as well as winter conferences. Learn About Heavy Metals Toxicity Dr. Doug Phillips first heard about Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt in 1992.  Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt was offering workshops at that time, and Dr. Doug Phillips signed up for one that focused on Neurotherapy. Because he liked the experience, Dr. Doug Phillips took the advanced course three months later and learned a lot about heavy metals toxicity. I was very fortunate to have Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt on my show, and I highly recommend listening to that episode. To complement your heavy metals detox, it is also advisable to take supplements like Chlorella. I had ENERGYbits founder Catharine Arnston on a past episode to talk about her products which primarily aids in the cleansing and healing of our cells. For those who want to try her products may refer to our episode and order through her website.  Don’t forget to apply the LTH promo code to avail of the 20% discount upon checkout.  Dangers of Mercury Dr. Doug Phillips says that out of all the heavy metals, it is mercury that we have to watch out for. He has been doing detoxes for mercury for over two decades and says maintenance is a lifelong commitment. Keeping our liver clean also significantly helps, although a laser detox is the best option. “Mercury is in every nucleus of a cancer cell. I advise people to do a detox and replace mercury fillings. Those who also had root canals should be careful,” said Dr. Doug Phillips. Other Toxic Problems Aside from the heavy metals, Dr. Doug Phillips says fungus and molds are also a major problem. He says it is thirty to forty times stronger than it used to be because of EMFs. “If you have fungus and molds, infection forms in the sinus which leads to chronic inflammation making it so you can’t get rid of anything else. Lyme is hard to treat if there is fungus present,” said Dr. Doug Phillips. Dr. Doug Phillips also suggests being alert for the possible presence of parasites. Some parasites are hard to detect in the body, and it takes through testing to be able to identify that parasites may be a cause of your health problem. Living Organisms Dr. Doug Phillips also cites the work of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura who initially discovered how to use plant leaves to remove heavy metals from the body. One plant that can remove mercury from the body is the coriander plant or cilantro. Based in New York, Dr. Yoshiaki Omura found out that organisms that cause infections hide in body areas with a high concentration of heavy metals like lead, mercury, and aluminum. Organisms used the heavy metals to protect themselves from antibiotics. “I learned about the difference in the organisms, how they are now and how they used to be. The organisms used to have a cell wall. When they had a cell wall, our immune system could identify them by the information on the cell wall,” explains Dr. Doug Phillips. He adds, “Organism evolved, and the cell wall disappeared, so that made them very pliable. These organisms live inside the cell now. The autonomic nervous system which we were using as a guide, only goes into the extracellular space. It doesn’t go inside the cell. We were missing all the intracellular organisms.” Direct Resonance Testing Dr. Doug Phillips learned direct resonance testing from Dr. Yoshiaki Omura. He learned how to test intracellular with direct resonance testing. That eventually opened a whole new world of treatment available for patients. “Dr. Klinghardt and I both expanded our knowledge. I had people coming to me with dental problems but the Board of Dentistry, when you have a board, usually people on the board are not very good in their profession. They are people who are satisfying their ego in the profession by being on the board,” shares Dr. Doug Phillips. Autonomic Response Testing Autonomic response testing, on the other hand, is a technique developed by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt with the help of Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, It is a technique that is advanced and accurate for muscle testing. The method is being used by more medical professionals to dive deeper into finding out the cause of a patient’s health condition. It is easy to administer and provides quick results, so it saves people time and money. Legal Battle Dr. Doug Phillips encountered legal battles in the late 90s that eventually turned his life around. He recalls people on the Board of Dentistry were judging him so Dr. Doug Phillips had to stand up against them. “I knew what I was doing, and I had 22 top doctors testifying for me. It was a two-week trial. The board had two doctors testify for them, one from the Board of Medicine and Board of Dentistry. The judge ruled in my favor. I won in court,” Dr. Doug Phillips said. But apparently, the board had the power to overrule what the judge said. Because of that, the board revoked Dr. Doug Phillips’ license. Dr. Doug Phillips took up a higher level. But things were already shifting at that point because Dr. Doug Phillips was also a Naturopath by then. Career Shift By 2001, Dr. Doug Phillips was practicing as a Naturopath. Rather than go after getting back his dentist license, he decided to offer alternative treatments since he is licensed by The Commission of Religious Consulting and Healing. “I have patients from all over. People are frustrated. We’re reaching out. Because what they want is their quality of life back,” said Dr. Doug Phillips. “But their health isn’t enough to support them to be happy. So what we do is autonomic response testing to find out the cause of what’s going on and not just treat symptoms.”  He adds, “I’m not licensed to do any medication but what I do is better. I do herbal nutraceuticals. We train the patient how it goes through every cell in the body for 5 to 6 hours after they take it. And we train them what stops that from working.” Using Peptides Dr. Doug Phillips also used peptides. A peptide is a compound that contains two or more amino acids. The peptides are from the immune system of the great white shark and the Australian saltwater crocodile. Citing Lyme disease as an example, Dr. Doug Phillips says Lyme disease has very tricky organisms. But once Dr. Doug Phillips has found the herbal nutraceuticals that goes exactly with the organisms, there is usually a good result after a few days. Aside from testing for bacteria, fungus, parasites and algae, Dr. Doug Phillips also administers tests for herbicide, pesticide, fungicide, plastic, toxic solvents and metal. He says that those toxins are polluting the internal environment. Because of that, it makes the organism stronger, making our system more acidic.  Laser Detox “We have ways to get rid of the toxin within a day and a half. No drugs. It’s a laser detox called laser energetic detox. The laser detox utilizes all the light bodies surrounding us by communicating with every cell over a hundred times a minute,” explains Dr. Doug Phillips. Dr. Doug Phillips further explains that laser detox uses that power to plant the detox in the cell. Apparently, the body goes through a process every twenty-four and a half hours as our vital life force travels through our whole system for the detox to take place. After that, the toxin disappears. Laser Detox Procedure Dr. Doug Phillips has treated people who have cancer, Lyme disease, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and joints pain with laser detox. First of all, Dr. Doug Phillips conducts an initial assessment of the patient’s health history. The next step of the program is eliminating or reserving autoimmunity through treatment. Each treatment is customized for the patient and a day and a half after; patients can start their detox. Usually, in the third session, patients no longer have the autoimmune disease. “We have over 90 flowers in our test kit. Flowers resonate with the emotions. Once they find all the toxins, we find the flowers in the test kit that resonate with the emotional complex binding the toxin. And we pick that with a laser detox,” Dr. Doug Phillips explains. Dr. Doug Phillips further explains that they use invisible beams for specific areas of the body and the brain. Patients sit with shoes off, then Dr. Doug Phillips lasers flowers on the bottom of feet, palm hands and ears. “There’s an organ representation of the whole body on the bottom of the feet, the palms of the hand and ears,” said Dr. Doug Phillips. “The patient then stands up so we can shine the laser beam and laser the whole body. What we are lasering is the layers of light that surround the body. It is done within half an hour.”  Bio Dr. Doug Phillips had previously practiced General Dentistry for over thirty-eight years.  In the late 1970’s, his traditional, restorative practice began to shift to a more specialized focus–patients with a chronic headache, facial pain, and jaw dysfunction.  He became increasingly interested in why some of these patients healed with traditional treatments, while others did not.  In search of answers, Dr. Doug Phillips began to study Biological Dentistry in the early 1990s.  This is an extension of dentistry which is concerned with the dental contributions to chronic illness.  He learned that the body’s immune and autonomic nervous system (the systems in charge of our survival) need to be cleansed of toxins and pathogens, many of which are lodged in the jaw before healing can occur.  As a result of his studies, Dr. Doug Phillips incorporated Biological Dentistry into his practice.  He created Biological Evaluation for patients who were not responding predictably to traditional treatment.  Through this extensive interview and examination, information was gathered regarding the patient’s teeth, jaw, bite, body, psycho-emotional status, and lifestyle habits.  Next, using Autonomic Response Testing and Direct Resonance Testing, the organisms and toxins present in the jaw, as well as the corresponding dysfunctioning organs and glands of the body, were identified.  These were the pathogens that needed to be eliminated for healing to begin and health restored.  Dr. Doug Phillips targets the energetic aspect of everything from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and cancer to Lyme disease and multiple chemical sensitivity. Dr. Doug Phillips aims at the cause of the problem, not its symptoms. Dr. Doug Phillips is in no way practicing as a medical doctor.

Sit down and listen to our latest podcast, a conversation with Dr. Chris Hart, a dentist, businessman, and product inventor. He’s also known as the mind behind Oventus. In this podcast, Dr. Hart goes on to explain about: - Health issues that can adversely affect dental health- The importance of continual education- The path to trying out new things in dentistry (and other places)Enjoy! Transcript Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Cool. So, if you just want to tell us a little bit about yourself. Where you grew up? Where you went to university? Why did you choose to do dentistry? And how on earth did you end up product invention? Dr. Chris Hart: No worries. So, I grew up in Rocky *indistinct* in central Queensland. Went to boarding school down here. And ended up in university at *UOQ*. When I was at school, it was 80% unemployment in school leavers. So I just wanted to be able to find my way and was interested in healthcare. So I threw down chiropractic, studied science, biochemistry, physiology for a bit. I threw down physio and dentistry. Dentistry came up so, I thought I better finish one of these degrees and start the rest. It was kind of a, you know, a bit of a fluke really. But then, you know, I was probably...I’ve always had an equal interest between the clinical side and the business side. So when I first graduated, I actually went and did some research at Cambridge University and then came back and had a couple of subjects left in the science degree in biochemistry and physiology. So I mugged up the rest of the studies. Pretty much told myself into coming back. Started buying practices. So I bought three. *indistinct* went to the bank and borrowed a heap of money. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: (Chuckle) Dr. Chris Hart: And my first business was really practices and I started Smiles Group. So we ended up, I think at the most, all up we had fifteen that we either bought or managed. And the most we had at one time was about twelve. I then started exiting that *indistinct* practices after the GST and the *indistinct* and everything else. And it was about 10 years since I started. So I set myself a ten year timeline to sort of get in and out of that side of the industry. So I started exiting and sold my last half a dozen or so to private equity investors three years ago. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Wow. Dr. Chris Hart: In terms of how I ended up in product invention, it was just patient need. You know, to be honest with you. I myself was a severe *indistinct* suffering from over congestion. Steroids and other constrictor treatments weren't that good long-term. Surgery hadn't worked. and I was desperate for some air, so I got a couple of saliva injector tube and I bend them down the back of my throat one night and secured it with some *indistinct* material. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: (Laughter). That’s awesome. Dr. Chris Hart: And that was the first *indistinct* device. Dr. Chris Hart: Because at the time, I had a dozen practices, we had about 250,000 patients under my care. And I started actually delivering them to my patients who had *indistinct* congestion *indistinct*, otherwise intolerant to other oral appliances. Cuz the reason being, if you've got a blocked nose, you can't shove a big bit plastic in your mouth, you can't breathe through either. So... Dr. Chris Hart: For those particular patients, I was delivering them and working with my lab technicians, *Michael Slater*. And we did about 50 or 100 I think all up. And they were working quite well. And I’d taken out patents, so got to spend some more money on patent protection--over $150,000 or something. And I thought I wasn't sure whether it had legs, so... Dr. Chris Hart: ...I had to check with a patent attorney and he referred me to the fellow who's currently the CEO--*indistinct* Technology. He felt that initially it would be about $3 million to bring it to market so I thought, "Forget it. I'm not doing it." Dr. Luke Heazlewood: (Laughter) Dr. Chris Hart: Eventually what we did is, we went to different people and we *indistinct* equity arrangements and so I funded the business. I put in about $1 million in the lot, but then also gave equity away to Neil, the CEO; to *Michael Slater* who developed the original prototype; to Mobius Medical, who helped us run the clinical trials. And the money I put in went to the CSR. I would pay them to develop the software development and the 3D titanium printing technology. So... Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Wow. Dr. Chris Hart: ...necessity of the moment invention. We invented it for me, gave it to my patients, and then we commercialized it. We actually went from an idea in 2012 to...you know, prototype through a product registered with the *indistinct* and go into patients’ mouth by November 2014. And then listed on the stock market last month. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Wow. Dr. Chris Hart: So you know, we sort of...within 2 years or 3 years...it's pretty rapid progression. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yeah, mate, you must be exhausted. That’s insane. Dr. Chris Hart: Oh, no. it's all good fun. And... Dr. Luke Heazlewood: It’s all good fun! (Laughter) Dr. Chris Hart: I had a bit of time off when I sold the last business. Had about 6 weeks there where I was sitting around twiddling my thumb. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: (Laughter) Dr. Chris Hart: And I thought, well, this thing could have some legs and I might have a bit of a luck with it. So I did and it turned out to be a very good treatment for patients. But also a good business and a good investment for people as well. I think that share prices are up about 50% or so at the moment. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Awesome. Dr. Chris Hart: So investors are happy. Yeah, and we're taking it to US, Europe, and Asia now. So... Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Wow. So, most young dentists, they don't tend to graduate with significant knowledge when it comes to, I’d say, just first, definitions, simplicity, what is OSA and what's its importance and how it relates to us as dentists. Dr. Chris Hart: Right, so I always say it's Obstructive Sleep Apnea, which is obviously different from Central Sleep Apnea. It’s an obstruction of the airway where it'll either be a complete blockage or resistance to flow, reduced airflow over time. So complete blockage is an apnea. And then reduced flow is a *hypopnea*. So a reduction of nasal airflow of 30% or more combined either 3% oxygen desaturation or an arousal, or both. So that's how we say it. That’s the definition of the AHI or the Apnea Hypopnea Index. A number of events should have *indistinct*. Dr. Chris Hart: In terms of dentistry, look, AYE, in my opinion, is front and center to a lot of things we see in dentistry. So, if you look in *indistinct*. For instance, in juvenile, *nasolabial obstructions, tonsilid, adenoid hypertrophia infection, asthma, hay fever, rhinitis*, all these things lead to *indistinct* combined with a *indistinct* you know, dummy, thumb sucking, bottle feeding *indistinct* and so forth. So, in the juvenile years, there is a well-documented relationship between airway issues and arch form development. what happens in adults is...well also then on top of that itself, if a child at say before eleven, is a mouth breather, they'll generally develop with reduced inner molar distance, *indistinct*, often with a deviated septum, often a class 2 malocclusion, could have an anterior thumb thrust as well. So... Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. Dr. Chris Hart: ...those particular patients, and bear in mind, you know, the data will show or the literature will show that 57% of juvenile still have one of these airway issues. Dr. Chris Hart: If those aren't dealt with, either through treating the allergy, the signs for hay fever, thumb sucking, or adenoid tonsillectomy, and arch expansion mouth therapy, these types of things, those patients will go on to have restricted arch form development as adults. Dr. Chris Hart: And the literature will also show that patients that are over *indistinct*, class 2 malocclusion, high tonsil degrading, high pharyngeal grading, high *indistinct* scores, high BMI, there's a 95% chance that those patients will suffer from sleep apnea. Dr. Chris Hart: And so, in adults then, not only is upper airway resistance caused developmentally, it also is implicated in the severity in the number of episodes that a sleep apnea patient will have. And it's also one of the main reasons non-response and non-compliance to current treatment modalities *indistinct* and just mandibular dents in the line. And interestingly, with the advanced technology, because we have incorporated an airway into the device that bypass to the upper airway, resistance *indistinct* very similar data to combination therapy or mandibular *indistinct* and multi-level nasal surgery--as was presented at the American Academy of Dental-Sleep Medicine just last month in Denver. No, sorry in June in Denver. so, there's a very well documented relationship between, I would say, in upper airway issues and dentally, we can prevent it by treating those kids early on and not letting them develop into those adult mouth breathers. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yup. Dr. Chris Hart: And the effect in on dentistry, the flip side of it is that, if you've seen lots of acid erosion for instance, there's a very high correlation between gastroesophageal reflux disease and sleep apnea. As the airway blocks, a reverse pump setup *indistinct* the struggle for breath leads to gastric acid being brought up into the oral environment. They'll generally then grind and throw back their head back to open the airway up. So they're basically pouring acid over their teeth and then grinding and so you see very rapid tooth destruction. So if you see that *indistinct* gastroesophageal reflux disease, *indistinct*, rapid tooth loss, staining of restorations or margins, and uncontrolled bruxing, then they're all signs there's an airway issue as well. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Well. Dr. Chris Hart: Moreover, we should be screening our patients for excessive daytime somnolence, through an *indistinct* scale, or through a snoring outcome survey, or *indistinct*, or something... Dr. Chris Hart: ...routinely, because if we don't manage that airway issue, we're putting our dentistry in harm's way. Dr. Chris Hart: So when I first got into this area, I’d come from, basically, looking at craniofacial *indistinct*, looking at airway issues, and trying to have the dentistry that we deliver to last longer. Dr. Chris Hart: So that was the genesis of my getting into it. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Awesome. Dr. Chris Hart: And without the managing of that airway, we're gonna get ourselves into all sorts of strifes. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: So, say we start to notice some of these signs or diagnose some of these signs in young patients, from that place, what would you recommend as a process for someone who's not as experienced in terms of them being able to go a bit out, helping their patients who might suffer from it. Dr. Chris Hart: Well, you know, education is everything isn't it? Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yup. Dr. Chris Hart: And I spend hours and hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars on training and education, post graduation. So, I couldn't tell you the number of courses I attended, like in terms of...on all fronts. Whether it's orthodontics, invisalign, arch form development, implants, full mouth reconstruction, aesthetic dentistry, TMD, sleep apnea. So, the key is to go and get more information. and if ever you see a clinical situation where the dentistry has failed, but you do the best job you possibly could, or if you see a problem that you don't have an answer to, that's the trigger, to go off and do some more training. Dr. Chris Hart: So that's the first thing. But it's very easy to implement, just within your comprehensive exam checklist... Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yup. Dr. Chris Hart: ...and things to look for, you know, as well as the things just discussed, the looking at the back of the throat, look at the tonsils, look at the *indistinct* of the tongue, look pharyngeal pillars, check the BMI, look at *indistinct*, look at the malocclusion, look at the nasal airway, look under their eyes--have they got dark *indistinct* under their eyes? Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. Dr. Chris Hart: If you see these things happening, it's very easy to ask some questions like, "Do you feel tired at the end of the day? Do you go for a nap in the afternoon? Have you ever fallen asleep at the wheel of your car? Do you yawn constantly?" And in effect, what you're doing there is you're screening that patient for sleep apnea or sleep disordered breathing. Do you snore? Does your partner sleep in the next room? Dr. Chris Hart: So there's all these signs and symptoms and I’ve actually...you know, we have the lectures that we're happy to share with dentists who are interested, on how to recognize and screen for that. So, once you see these signs and symptoms then it's time to start screening. If you find a patient that does have...that you suspect has sleep disordered breathing, then you need to give your diagnosis. And then that requires for the patient to go and see their GP and get a referral to a sleep physician. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yup. So then...*Oventus?* is like...how...like what would you say is the big differences between Oventus and other oral appliances for treating OSA? Dr. Chris Hart: Yeah, that is the inclusion of the airway. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yup. Dr. Chris Hart: I mean, mandibular advancement's been around for decades. It’s well documented. We know that it works in some patients and it's reasonably effective. But what we also know is that it doesn't always work with patients with increased nasal resistance and that increased nasal resistance or throat congestions or obstruction is one of the main reasons for nonresponse, noncompliance to existing treatments. So, the incorporation of the airway allows us to bypass the upper level resistance. So ordinarily, what would happen is patients breathing with their mouth closed as they should and the nasal resistance builds up. So there'll be a switch there, where the resistance increases and the oxygen level starts to fall, the patient will have an arousal and they'll switch to oral or nasal breathing. And what happens then is you get a very unstable upper airway. With the Oventus devices, instead of switching to an oral or nasal breathing, the device maintains an oral seal, maintains the forward mandibular position, but provides a second enclosed airway to allow the air to get to the back of the throat. So it prevents mouth breathing, it prevents nasal breathing, it maintains an oral seal, and the size of the airway just happens to be 50 square millimeters, which is the same size as a healthy nose. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. Dr. Chris Hart: That’s the *indistinct* incorporated into 3.5 millimeters of *indistinct*. So we basically put a second nose into the space of the mouth guard. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Wow. And for dentists wanting to utilize the Oventus device, do they have to do particular training or is there like...what's that sort of things look like? Dr. Chris Hart: Well, we run our own training courses to enable dentists to deliver the Oventus device. So that's obviously an important start. And within that course we do full day of training on dental sleep medicine in general and how to diagnose and how to manage it and how to work with sleep physicians and GPs and surgeons for that end to make sure that get optimal patient outcome. So, we can certainly provide training on that basis. But also, I think, dentists who are looking to get into this area should allow themselves all manner in the area. So you know, I know the Australian Sleep Association provides training, the Australian Academy of Craniofacial Pain and *indistinct*. American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine also provides courses and a myriad of profit making training organizations as well. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. Dr. Chris Hart: But I think if you look, towards ones that are probably...sort of...agnostic in terms of treatment modalities and run by not-for profits, that's obviously very, very *indistinct*, very good training as well. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yup. Dr. Chris Hart: And if you need to do a particular type of device or you want to use a particular type of device, then there are specific trainings for different devices as well. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Oh, thanks. Dr. Chris Hart: Including ours. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: So, not to keep you for much longer, but you've obviously very successfully carved out different paths and a different path in dentistry. What advice would you give to young dentists who are wide similarly and may want to achieve similar things? Dr. Chris Hart: Oh, look, I remember I sat next to a young bloke on a plane a couple of months ago, and I think he asked me a similar thing. I just sort of said, *indistinct* you know, you got to think outside of the box. And you got to back yourself. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. Dr. Chris Hart: And the reality is that someone tells you something can't be done, it's not because you can't do it. It’s because they can't. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. that's so good. Dr. Chris Hart: It’s usually very limited by their own experience. The other thing is you've got to believe in what you're doing. Cuz, you know, when the going gets tough, it's much easier to keep going. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Hmm. Dr. Chris Hart: *indistinct* just sit down. So that's probably the three main things. But whenever, we're talking about *indistinct* that's life in general. But in terms of dentistry, it really is about patient care. If you can see a better way to deliver care or outcomes to a patient, then you should chase down that treatment modality. At the end of the day we're all here for our patients. And anything I’ve ever done, whether it was in the clinical business building the network of dentists and within that business we actually had our own training institute and management consultancy as well. So that we could improve the standards of care delivered to patients. And so the evolution of that continued under this business, where we said, "Alright, if there's a problem, you know, in a patient or within a patient population, and we can solve for that, we should." Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Yeah, that's...Yup. Dr. Chris Hart: So, you know, that's what drives innovation in the end. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Well, mate, I just...yeah, really want to thank you for what you've done. So good to hear about the success that you guys have been achieving. Not without all the hard yards. But thanks, thanks so much for coming on the podcast. I know we'll...all those young dentists will really appreciate that. So... Dr. Chris Hart: Yeah, no worries. Listen, thanks for having me, mate. If you guys want to shoot an e-mail or whatever, then feel free. I’ll be happy to give advice where it's appropriate and where it's wanted. you know, I certainly, as a dentist, we tend to work to some extent on our own, so the more that we talk to each other, the more likely it is we're gonna get better at coming through for our patients and enjoy what we're doing. Dr. Luke Heazlewood: Brilliant. And I thank you very much for that Chris.
