JOIN ELEVATED GP: theelevatedgp.com Should you perform a pulpotomy, a direct pulp cap, or a full root canal on a mature tooth with deep caries? Endodontist Dr. Judy McIntyre gives general dentists a candid, practical guide to vital pulp therapy, when a preoperative CBCT is essential, what separates a well-done root canal from a compromised one, and how to know your limits and build a real partnership with your endodontist. In this episode, you'll learn: What vital pulp therapy is and isn't, from open-apex teeth to mature adult teeth Why preoperative symptoms matter when choosing between vital pulp therapy and root canal therapy Her pulpotomy technique: diamond bur, hemostasis, sodium hypochlorite, and a bioceramic or MTA cap Why you lose cold testing after vital pulp therapy, and the follow-up system to catch failures early Annual radiographs on endo-treated teeth and pulp testing before crowns When a preoperative CBCT is a must: molars, retreatments, apicoectomies, premolars with fast breaks, and two-canal canines Endo-resolution CBCT versus large field of view scans, and why she dislikes image filters Minimally invasive and ninja access cavities: when conservation stops serving the patient Avoiding the cowboy mentality and building a reciprocal relationship with your endodontist The elements of a well-done root canal: anesthesia, rubber dam, full armamentarium, irrigation, obturation, and a sealed restoration Single-cone technique versus lateral and hybrid obturation, and why bioceramic sealer should not replace gutta-percha Questions answered in this episode: Pulpotomy, pulp cap, or root canal on a mature tooth with deep caries? It depends on symptoms, your true abilities, and whether the patient will return for follow-up. Frank expectations and a recall system are essential. Which endo cases need a preoperative CBCT? Dr. McIntyre recommends it for all molars, retreatments, and apicoectomies, and for premolars or anteriors when 2D imaging shows fast breaks, curvature, or resorption. Is the single-cone technique acceptable? Yes, when the cone intimately fits the prepared canal. Sealer is a vehicle, not the filling, and gutta-percha keeps the canal retreatable. About the guest: Dr. Judy McIntyre is an endodontist and educator who teaches general dentists about CBCT, vital pulp therapy, and endodontic setup, and is known for encouraging GPs to love their endodontists. Hosted by Dr. Melissa Seibert, DMD, MS, FAGD, ABGD.

"If you want something bad, you have to fight for it. Step up you game, Scott. Break out the L-word". Today we discuss a little more on the Epicrispr clinical trial and preview the upcoming Scholar Rock, Soufflé and Dyne phase I/II clinical trials. As you know, the Devil is in the details. We are tingling with anticipation for the upcoming clinical trial report from Epicrispr to be presented at the World Muscle Society first week of October (DNA methylation and DUX4 target gene expression data from biopsies, please). We are still very hopeful for the Avidity Phase 3 trial currently in 45 sites around the world! Sure the DM1 trial tanked, but their DMD trial is progressing well. Regardless, new therapeutic approaches are here. We are very high on Soufflé's cell specific targeting platform as well as Dyne's alternate transferrin receptor targeting, both of which we hope will allow for increased dosing, more DUX4 knockdown, and greater intervals between dosing. We are also cautiously optimistic about Scholar Rock entering the FSHD space coming off of their recent FDA approval for a combined therapy in SMA. Truly exciting times (and more to come!), and we will try to keep you all updated on the science.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into the latest happenings in these dynamic sectors, where scientific advancements, regulatory decisions, and strategic business initiatives are continuously reshaping the landscape of healthcare. Starting with a significant regulatory update, the FDA has granted Capricor Therapeutics a three-month extension to review Phase 3 data for Deramiocel, a promising treatment targeting upper limb functionality in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). This decision underscores not only the complexity of analyzing data in neuromuscular diseases but also highlights the stringent requirements for treatments that aim to improve quality of life for patients with conditions like DMD. In other regulatory news, Johnson & Johnson has expanded the label for its monoclonal antibody IMAAvy (nipocalimab) to treat warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia. This approval is based on compelling Phase 2/3 clinical data and emphasizes the growing role of monoclonal antibodies in targeting autoimmune disorders. These developments offer promising new therapeutic avenues and signify a shift towards more precise treatment options. Moving to infection control, GSK's Hibsago (bepirovirsen) has received approval in Japan for chronic hepatitis B. This antisense oligonucleotide aims for a functional cure by targeting the hepatitis B surface antigen, representing a significant leap forward in infectious disease management. Similarly, Biocon Biologics' biosimilar pegfilgrastim has been approved in Japan for supportive care in neutropenia, crucial for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. These approvals highlight the global acceptance of biosimilars as effective and cost-efficient alternatives. The business landscape is also evolving with noteworthy partnerships and acquisitions. Lundbeck and Eversana are expanding their AI-driven commercialization efforts across the U.S., reflecting how advanced technologies are becoming integral to marketing strategies. Meanwhile, McKesson's $2.25 billion acquisition of Precision Medicine Group underscores the strategic focus on oncology and personalized medicine—an area poised for substantial growth. Innovation continues with AC Immune's positive Phase 1 data for ACI-19764, an oral NLRP3 inhibitor targeting chronic inflammatory disorders. This advancement could potentially revolutionize treatments for inflammation-related conditions affecting cardiovascular and neurological health. In ophthalmology, Bausch + Lomb is pushing forward with its combination eye drop therapy into Phase 3 trials for dry eye disease, demonstrating resilience and commitment despite earlier challenges. Shifting focus to obesity treatment, Eli Lilly's launch of Foundayo in the UK presents formidable competition to Novo Nordisk's Wegovy. This move signifies an intensifying race in obesity management, with potential implications for market dynamics and revenue streams. On the financial front, Hansa Biopharma is gearing up for a potential Nasdaq IPO as it awaits FDA decisions on its kidney transplant drug candidates. Amidst this backdrop, Massachusetts has seen a 25% surge in biotech venture funding this year despite challenges faced by startups. Turning to scientific breakthroughs, Jazz Pharmaceuticals has secured FDA approval for its HER2 bispecific antibody Ziihera as a first-line treatment for HER2-positive stomach cancer. This represents not only a new treatment paradigm but also positions Jazz Pharmaceuticals favorably within an estimated $2 billion market potential. In judicial updates, Merck and AstraZeneca's legal challenges against Medicare's drug price negotiation authority have been dismissed. This outcome supports efforts to reduce healthcare costs through negotiated pricing—a move that could reshape pharmaceutical pricing strategies significantly. Meanwhile, Sentivera's licensing deal focused on inflammatory diseases illustrates the financial potential and therapeutic promise of targeting inflammation—a pathway implicated in numerous serious health conditions. Geopolitical dynamics also play a role as concerns arise about China potentially outpacing U.S. companies in biotech innovation. Such developments may influence future policy decisions regarding international collaborations and domestic investments. Finally, scientific exploration continues to push boundaries with advancements such as human brain organoids providing new insights into neurological disorders and potential therapies. Eli Lilly's collaboration on trans-amplifying RNA vaccines further highlights RNA technology's expanding role post-mRNA vaccine success during COVID-19. As these stories unfold, they paint a picture of an industry marked by relentless innovation and strategic foresight aimed at improving patient outcomes globally. From regulatory hurdles to cutting-edge science, each development contributes to a healthcare environment that is increasingly dynamic and poised for future breakthroughs. Stay tuned as we continue to track these important stories impacting the world of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.Support the show

On this week's episode, Josh Schimmer, Brian Skorney, Eric Schmidt, and Brad Loncar kick off with IPOs and raises, including Scribe's IPO, the first preclinical biotech IPO since the COVID era, which priced in a modest but upsized deal. The group also covers Mentari's additional $200 million raise ahead of its reverse merger with InMed, leading the co-hosts to question if reverse mergers are a positive for biotech or a worrisome trend. Next, the group turns to Colossal Biosciences' talks to raise at a $20–30 billion valuation, prompting a broader question of what counts as biotech and where the industry's roots lie. The conversation turns to a recap of BiotechTV's inaugural U.S. Science Summit, where a central theme was the need to better explain biotech's work to the general public. The co-hosts then cover the fallout at Immix, whose CMO (hired in March 2025) turned out to be a fugitive on the run; the company disclosed the news in an 8-K, as they believed it not to be a material event. In data news, Dyne's Z-rostudirsen received FDA acceptance and priority review for DMD. The episode concludes with a discussion on policy, debating whether upcoming FDA adcomms for Replimune and Capricor signal a shift under new leadership. *This episode aired on July 24, 2026.

When a child exhibits behavioral challenges, facial recession, or struggles with sleep, the root cause is frequently hiding in plain sight: their breathing habits. Unfortunately, these vital signs of compromised airway health are often overlooked by traditional medical models.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Leslie Pasco, an expert in airway health, pediatric development, and the author of The Great Contraction. Dr. Pasco breaks down the profound impact that mouth breathing, poor jaw development, and tongue-ties have on a child's long-term physical and neurological growth.About the Guest: Dr. Leslie Pasco, DMD, OFM, CBBIDr. Leslie Pasco is the visionary founder and President of MyoWay Centers for Kids. With almost three decades of experience in dentistry, Dr. Pasco has dedicated her career to understanding how airway health and muscle function deeply influence growth, sleep, learning, and overall health in children. Rather than simply addressing surface symptoms, she emphasizes early screening, thorough functional assessments, and close collaboration with other healthcare professionals to ensure her young patients receive truly comprehensive care. Her clear, driving mission is to help children grow right, breathe right, and live better.Key Topics & TakeawaysMouth Breathing as a Danger Signal: Why mouth breathing should never be dismissed as a "phase," and how it actively derails midface growth, jaw position, and dental alignment.The ADHD & Sleep Link: How sleep-disordered breathing frequently mimics or exacerbates symptoms of ADHD, leading to misdiagnoses that could be resolved with airway support.A Call for Holistic Care: Understanding the environmental stressors driving facial recession and contraction, and why true patient healing requires organic, multidisciplinary collaboration.Soundbites"Mouth breathing is a danger signal. It is your body's emergency backup system, not a functional way for a growing child to live and develop.""Breathing therapy can change lives. When you restore nasal breathing and correct sleep architecture, you aren't just changing a habit—you're shifting a child's entire behavioral and developmental trajectory.""Holistic care requires collaboration. No single provider can fix a contracted airway or a system-wide dysfunction completely on their own."Timestamps 00:00 - The Impact of Airway Health on Families01:12 - Introducing Dr. Leslie Pasco02:20 - Shifting from General Dentistry to Airway Care07:23 - The Dangers of Chronic Mouth Breathing12:04 - ADHD Misdiagnosis vs. Sleep Disordered Breathing19:02 - The Connection Between Palatal Expansion and Myofunctional Therapy28:44 - Functional Assessments for Tethered Oral Tissues (Tongue & Lip Ties)30:53 - The Critical Role of Pre-Op and Post-Op Preparation for Releases44:00 - What is the Buteyko Breathing Method?

In this episode, Kenneth Nusbacher, DMD, MHA, Associate Dean of Clinical Affairs at the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry and Assistant Chief Medical Officer for Ambulatory Dentistry at UK HealthCare, joins the podcast to discuss the growing impact of student loan debt on the future dental workforce. He also shares why emphasizing the connection between oral health and overall health is essential to improving patient outcomes and advancing more integrated models of care.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, an airway and biological dentist specializing in jaw development and non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. We cover three audiences I care deeply about: parents of children showing signs of airway dysfunction, women in perimenopause who are exhausted and being missed by standard sleep testing, and adults who have been managing symptoms with a CPAP and want to know if there is a better path. Dr. Fritsch explains how mouth breathing, tongue ties, and underdeveloped palates are silently driving ADHD, anxiety, autoimmune disease, and chronic fatigue. She also shares the recent Harvard research on CPAP risks for low-risk patients that genuinely surprised me and why myofunctional therapy alone can cut apnea in half. I share my own journey and my daughter Elle's experience with palate expansion. This episode is packed with actionable information you will not want to miss. What You Will Learn: Why underdeveloped jaws and mouth breathing are a root cause of ADHD, anxiety, and chronic fatigue in children and adults The specific signs of early airway dysfunction in infants and children — and why acting early changes everything Why women are systematically underdiagnosed with sleep apnea and how perimenopause dramatically increases airway collapse risk How non-surgical palate expansion works for adults — no jaw surgery required Why myofunctional therapy is essential for lasting results and can reduce apnea severity by up to 50% What recent Harvard research reveals about CPAP risks for low-risk patients and what to do instead About Dr. Hilary Fritsch Dr. Hilary Fritsch, DMD, is an airway and biological dentist with nearly two decades of clinical experience specializing in jaw development, tongue-tied infants, and the non-surgical treatment of sleep and breathing disorders. She is the founder of Saddle Peak Dental and Western Sleep Solutions in Bozeman, Montana, and she trained extensively under Dr. Kevin Golz, a pioneer in adult palate expansion with over 6,000 cases completed.

Have you ever wondered if your gymnast actually needs a sports drink at practice?Maybe you have seen other athletes drinking Gatorade, Powerade, Liquid I.V., LMNT, Prime, BodyArmor, or electrolyte packets and wondered if your gymnast should be doing the same.Or maybe you have heard that sports drinks are “toxic,” full of sugar, dyes, or ingredients your gymnast should avoid.But here is the problem: the conversation around sports drinks is often missing the most important piece.Context.In this episode, Christina breaks down what parents actually need to know about sports drinks, electrolytes, hydration, sugar, and performance nutrition for gymnasts.And one thing is very clear:Sports drinks are not automatically toxic.But they are also not automatically necessary.They were created for a very specific purpose: to help athletes replace fluid, electrolytes, and carbohydrates during long, intense training sessions, especially when sweat losses are high.Christina explains why sports drinks contain both electrolytes and sugar, why sodium matters for hydration, and why sugar is not just there for taste. In the right context, carbohydrates can help with both hydration absorption and fueling during training.But for most gymnasts, especially recreational, lower-level, or shorter-duration athletes, water and food-based fueling are often enough.The gymnasts who may benefit most from sports drinks are typically upper-level athletes training intensely for several hours, especially when they struggle to eat during practice, have limited snack breaks, or need an easier way to get intra-workout carbohydrates.In this episode, we cover:❗ Why sports drinks are not “toxic”❗ Why sports drinks were originally created❗ Why electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride matter❗ Why sugar in sports drinks has a purpose❗ Why hydration needs are different from fueling needs❗ Why most gymnasts do not need sports drinks for regular practice❗ When a sports drink may be helpful for upper-level gymnasts❗ Why food-based carbs are often a better option for younger or lower-level gymnasts❗ Why sipping on sports drinks for hours can increase cavity risk❗ Why Gatorade Zero and low-sugar options are not the same as traditional sports drinks❗ Why electrolyte packets, oral rehydration solutions, and sports drinks are not all the same thing❗ Why products like Prime, BodyArmor, Liquid I.V., LMNT, and Skratch need to be evaluated differently❗ Why influencer marketing can make sports nutrition confusing for parents❗ Why fueling your gymnast properly should come before spending money on electrolyte productsChristina also explains why more is not better.Your gymnast does not need 30, 40, or 50 ounces of sports drink during practice. If a sports drink is being used, it should be part of a larger fueling and hydration strategy, not the only beverage she drinks.And if your gymnast does need extra electrolytes, food can help too. Something as simple as pretzels can provide sodium along with carbohydrates and other nutrients.The goal is not to fear sports drinks.The goal is to understand when they make sense, when they do not, and how to choose the right option for your gymnast's specific needs.Because nutrition is not about blanket rules.It is about context.And when it comes to gymnast fueling, the healthiest choice is always the one that helps your gymnast stay fueled, hydrated, supported, and able to train safely.Links & ResourcesThe Balanced Gymnast® Program (Level 5–10)Connect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist christinaandersonrdn.comEpisode 103: Sports Drinks, Cavities, and Dental Health with Dr. Clayton, DMD

Send us Fan MailWelcome to our 121st episode of the Triple FFF and our early summer confab about two big Hollywood tentpole entries that crashed and burned miserably at the box office in the wake of Gen Z's love affair with indie influencer horror to the point where Gen X has to face the facts and realize our day of IP dominance is over, we're talking about 2026's Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu directed by Jon Favreau and starring Pedro Pascal, Martin Scorcese, Jeremy Allen White and Sigourney Weaver along with Masters of The Universe, directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine, Camila Mendez, Idris Elba, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, James Purefoy, Charlotte Riley and Jared Leto. Back again for more is Mr. 80's Showbiz Trivia himself, Dr. David Johnson, DMD. Before we let these critical fists fly in a flurry of thunder punches, the synopses: In The Mandalorian and Grogu, ace bounty hunter Din Djarin and his adorable little green pal Grogu team up with the New Republic for a dangerous mission: deliver Rotta the Hutt, the kidnapped son of Jabba the Hutt, back to his ruthless gangster relatives known only as the Twins. In exchange, the Republic will get critical intel on the whereabouts of several high-ranking Imperial loyalists, still on the run. In Masters of the Universe, the evil Skeletor seizes control of the planet Eternia and enslaves Prince Adam's royal parents, forcing the young noble into exile on Earth. Stuck living as a regular human in a soul-crushing and emasculating human resources job for a nameless corporation, Adam quietly yearns for the adventure and heroics he was born for. When Eternian warrior princess Teela shows up on Earth chased by Skeletor's mindless henchman Beast Man, Adam finally gets his chance — he returns home with Teela to confront Skeletor and the forces of darkness and to claim his destiny as the most powerful being in the universe… He-Man.

Send us Fan MailOn this 120th episode of the Triple FFF we're going to chip away at the rock solid box office pairing of Author Andy Weir and screenwriter Drew Goddard as we discuss their two sci fi smash hits, 2015's The Martian directed by Ridley Scott and starringMatt Damon, Jessica Chastain, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kristen Wiig, Michael Peña, Sean Bean, Kate Mara, Sebastian Stan, MacKenzie Davis, Donald Glover, and Jeff Daniels along with 2026's Project Hail Mary directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Millerstarring Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz as the lovable and wacky alien Rocky. Returning to the show to discuss these crowd-pleasing and visually spectacular space epics is none other than Dr. David Johnson, DMD, whom I've called upon as a secret weapon in the last three films we've discussed because they were squarely in his wheelhouse: dancing and strutting his stuff with Michael, putting on a tough fit with Prada 1 & 2 and now his biggest passion and strength, HARD SCIENCE. Before we drift into deep space, the synopses: In the Martian, astronaut Mark Watney is impaled and presumed dead during a wicked Martian storm which causes his crew of astronaut/explorers to launch an emergency evacuation. Alive, wounded and alone on Mars Watney must use science, engineering, and endurance to survive long enough for Earth to mount an impossible rescue mission. In Project Hail Mary, Ryland Grace, a lone astronaut suffering from memory loss, awakens aboard a spacecraft on a desperate deep-space mission and gradually discovers he is humanity's last hope against a cosmic extinction event. Along the way, he encounters an alien astronaut from another species sent on a similar mission to protect its own civilization. Can the two work together to save their respective planets?

When looking into tethered oral tissues, it is easy to focus entirely on visual structural appearance. However, judging a restriction by looks alone frequently misses the true clinical picture. Real progress happens when healthcare providers shift the diagnostic paradigm away from what a tie looks like and focus entirely on how it affects dynamic function over a patient's lifespan.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Richard Baxter, DMD, MS, FAAPD, a board-certified pediatric dentist, founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center, and lead author of the bestselling book Tongue-Tied. Dr. Baxter shares his personal and professional insights into the complexities of identifying oral restrictions, moving past basic anatomical definitions to explore how a tiny string under the tongue can alter systemic, long-term health.About the Guest: Dr. Richard BaxterDr. Richard Baxter is a board-certified pediatric dentist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), a Diplomate of the American Board of Laser Surgery, and the founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center.
