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.

He was one of those practices where I was like, ‘How is he so busy? What is he doing different than I'm doing? I feel like I'm so busy and I'm going to burn out here. Why is he so busy doing cool stuff?' I was busy and good. But, oh, boy, it was hard. And no joy, really, after you do your thousandth MOD. So, I realized that there was more to [dentistry], and I asked Todd [Davis], ‘What do I do?' He said, ‘Well, you need to go learn.' And so, I started to get on the CE train and do some workshops and seminars, and I hit it hard. That's that thing where if you are going to bet on anybody, bet on yourself. I invested a bunch of money and a bunch of time — I didn't think twice about it — to go learn how to be a better dentist for my patients.” (7:26—8:25)“I think as a young dentist out there — and I was this way too. I'm no different than you are. If you're the young one out there listening, I'm no different than you are. I just saw that there is a different way and maybe a more comprehensive way. To me, [having a practice within your practice] meant that there's the everyday, bread and butter, do the fillings and crowns, but there's also this niche that you can work for yourself, whether it's orthodontics, or placing implants — for me, I became the bite guy — where you have an interest that inherently shows up, and you do more of it. The more you do it, the...

To me, that's everything because everybody is jumping on the digital thing. He's right. The same way you could screw up a mouth if you didn't pay attention to sound occlusal principles, or good biologic principles with your margin design, and good restorative principles with your prep design, and good esthetic principles — if you didn't do that in the analog world, you're going to screw things up.” (9:36—10:19)“For most people, the start [to adopting digital] is an intraoral scanner. We've had conversations about this on the podcast before. There are lots of scanners out there. I'm not here to tell you which is the right one. I happen to use iTero. I love my iTero. I have two of them, actually, and we use them for everything. We do wellness scans in hygiene. Once a year, we scan every patient, kind of the opposite of having radiographs made. It's a great way to monitor changes. It's incredible because you put the screen up in front of a patient — I think it's called TimeLapse. It'll flash between the two years ago scan and the new scan. They can see the change. They can see the shifting of the teeth, or...

Solutions to the Hygiene CrisisEpisode #600 with Dr. Sam LowWe're all asking how to attract hygienists. But there's another question you should be asking. How do you keep the ones you've got? To help you motivate the right hygienists who are already in your practice, Kirk Behrendt brings back Dr. Sam Low, associate faculty member of The Pankey Institute, with his insight into what hygienists truly want and the best ways to provide it.

Do morning huddles with your team every morning.Quotes:“I know that dentists have always appreciated a hygienist. But I'm sure they never appreciated them till they didn't have one.” (2:07—2:20)“When we go to any kind of service, we like to see the same people. We don't like somebody different. Like likes like. And so, our patients, who are used to Sally being their hygienist for 20 years — now, Sally's gone. Now, Martha's there. ‘Who's Martha? I don't know. Martha's going to be in my mouth. Is she the same as Sally?' And then, they say, ‘Well, maybe I don't want to go back there.' Especially if you have, what? Constant turnover. How many times have you heard patients say, ‘I don't know what's going on over there. Every time I go over there, there's somebody different'?” (3:44—4:28)“The most frequent, perfunctory appointment in a dental office is a dental hygiene prophylaxis. Nothing else repeats itself like that. It's predictable. You kind of know what's going to happen. So, if that's the situation, to me, it would be like a process. First of all, how much time do you want for each one of those perfunctory appointments to occur? Now, here's going to be your problem. There is no way, with third-party reimbursement, that you can pay for a dental hygienist and the operatory with what you're going to get off of a prophylaxis in one hour. We've worked the numbers. It's impossible. In fact, if you're not careful, it'll be kind of like Medicaid — you're going to be paying them.” (7:14—8:16)“Dental hygienists spend 50% of their time scraping on teeth — 50% of their time at that one hour — with antiquated scalers and curettes that they will not let go of because that's the way they were taught, and they were taught that, ‘If I ever give them up,
"ICONIC!" - Co-founder of Dental Boot Camp, Dr. Mac Lee and Educator/Author Dr. Pam Marzban talk about their efforts to bring the awareness of Craniomandibular Orthopedics to the public and dental profession alike. Please join us! About Dr. Lee: Third-generation dentist in rural Edna, Tx Retired, after five decades of clinical dentistry and is now writing, teaching, ranching, and being with kids and grandkids. Deeply trained in CR dentistry with LD Pankey, Pete Dawson, and John Kois who all became personal friends. His first dental epiphany was at the Pankey Institute in 1977. His grandfather's records from 1928 told a story of treating periodontal disease as an infection, cleaning the area (SRP), using an antimicrobial, teaching the patient how to keep it clean, and letting the body heal itself. Mac took the antimicrobial his grandfather used, changed the name, got FDA approval, and then sold it through Premier Dental. His second dental epiphany was seeing the mouth through a totally different set of eyes. This led to me becoming a Regent for the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics and to his Amazon book, The Life Robbing Pain of TMD; Why Me? He redid Joleen's FMR to a more comfortable and beautiful position.About Dr. Marzban:Graduating from a highly accredited dental school is the minimum requirement necessary to provide quality cosmetic dental care.

Slow down your conversations.Focus on risks and benefits that are most relevant for patients.Advocate for your patients by giving them information and education.Quotes:“I think about all of my communications with my patients as being about risks and benefits. It's the core of patient communication. And often, as dentists, we do think of that as a technical thing, like one procedure has certain technical risks over another one. But I actually think it's a much bigger conversation than that because, for my patients, they think of the cost of one procedure over the other. One might be a risk or a benefit. A common one is how long it takes for a procedure to get done. So, with implants, we want all of our patients to do implants. And sometimes, they still ask about doing what we would call an old-fashioned bridge. Well, one of the benefits to a bridge is, chop, chop, you're all done in three to six weeks, where implant dentistry sometimes takes six to nine months. To us, we go, ‘Well, that's a no-brainer.' We want the best thing, technically. To a patient, that may be a tipping point decision.” (3:26—4:24)“Some people consider any surgical procedure a risk, no matter how much we tell them it's easy and straightforward. Or the discomfort. There are a whole range of things that we can put in our risks and benefits box that actually are more tied to the logistics of the dentistry for the patient, or the emotional side of it for the patient, than they are about the stuff we learned in dental school.” (4:27—4:50)“For me, if I need an informed consent, that says to me that I...

Remember that your dentistry has an expiration date.Quotes:“That's what we tend to do to ourselves, [is] we say, ‘Oh, this dentistry is going to fail,' or, ‘This dentistry did fail,' or we criticize, or we judge, or whatever it is. And it's like, no, everything has an expiration date, and it's totally dependent on the variables that that patient hosts. And we get to play a part in our skills and understanding our patient from the health standpoint to even the temperament standpoint.” (6:37—7:09)“All of my dentistry, as Dr. Lee Brady taught me, will fail. I might get lucky. There might be a case or two. But that's not really the goal. The goal of dentistry, in my mind, is to make people feel better, to make people healthier, to make people function...

Inform and educate your patients. Break down treatment into stages. Make patients feel informed, not sold to. Give patients time to think about treatment. Quotes: “Everyone hears “complex treatment planning” and they think there's going to be a full-mouth reconstruction. Not true. I've done a lot of full-mouth reconstructions two crowns at a time. And it may take six, seven years to do the whole case. But it was done at a pace that the patient could afford to do it, both maybe financially and emotionally, because sometimes patients really aren't ready to make that full commitment. That's what I mean about helping patients make good choices.” (5:22—5:48) “What I did in the early years, I would do the two crowns and I'd forget about the rest of the case. What's changed is, if we keep the patient's best interest in the forefront of our treatment planning thought process, that was what forced me to learn how to phase treatment. And once I could phase treatment, my case acceptance went up. Because face it, you're going to do a full-mouth rehab, or someone needs that level of dentistry, whatever it is. That's a big ask. And a lot of times, patients simply can't do it. So, therefore, it becomes helpful as a dentist if you can break that down into stages.” (5:48—6:24) “There's an old saying that every full-mouth rehabilitation is a number of single-unit crowns on the same patient. So, if you can start breaking it down to make it easier for you too, [you will] really enjoy starting to take on more complex cases.” (6:24—6:42) “I was teaching at The Pankey Institute, and a dentist said something that I'll never forget. He goes, ‘I try never to take an impression of more than six teeth at a time.' Because for a crown and bridge, if you're going to take a full-arch impression, that's a lot to do and to keep everything dry and get accurate margins. The key to being able to do that is having good provisionals. And once you can master that . . . then you can start to break those cases down to help patients make good decisions.” (6:54—7:29) “[I] have a discussion with [patients] to raise their knowledge level because, quite frankly, they can't make good choices if they don't...
