ASAP Pathway

Ep.44, Surgically Sculpting the Airway and TMJs, Dr. Reza Movahed


Listen Later

In a recent podcast episode, Drs. Stacy Tracey and Reza discussed advancements in dental practices related to airway health, particularly focusing on treatments for dental facial deformities, obstructive sleep apnea, and TMD issues. They emphasized the rapid influx of new information in the field, likening it to a "fire hose" of knowledge, which is crucial for practitioners to stay informed.

 The conversation highlighted the importance of double jaw advancement surgery, a well-researched procedure aimed at improving airway function, and the need for individualized patient assessments using techniques like drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). They also touched on the significance of understanding the biomechanics of jaw movement and the role of imaging technologies in diagnosis.

The discussion underscored the collaborative efforts among dental professionals, including upcoming roundtable discussions and cadaver studies, to enhance surgical outcomes and patient care. This dialogue is vital as it reflects the evolving landscape of dental practices and the increasing awareness of airway health, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes in a field that is rapidly advancing.
