01.16.21 | by Lee Ann Brady Comment

There is a relationship between activity of the elevator muscles and vertical dimension of occlusion. In this video we will look at what the science tells us about that relationship and how it will impact our dentistry and as a tool to help patients. Read More

Trusting Dental Patient's Intuition

01.08.21 | by Lee Ann Brady Comment

Dental patient in chair speaking with dentist

I had a great reminder yesterday while I was working with a patient that listening to their intuitions and beliefs about their own dental health and care can be very valuable. Sometimes that value is clinical, and sometimes it is in increased patient understanding and relationship development. Read More

The Phonetics Challenge of F and S

12.07.20 | by Lee Ann Brady Comment

In a previous curator journal we discussed that one of the few challenges of changing vertical dimension of occlusion is altering the patient's phonetics. In this video we'll dive into how we say two particular sounds, "F" and "S" and the impact vertical plays on them. Read More

Can We Change Vertical Dimension of Occlusion?

12.02.20 | by Lee Ann Brady Comment

Changing our dental patient's VDO is surrounded by myths, false information and various concern. We ask if the vertical is "collapsed" or "reduced" as a justification for increasing it. When we do decide to change it we then struggle with how much of a change to make. In this video we will look at the answer to the question: Can we change VDO? I will also Read More

The accuracy of our bite records correlates directly to the accuracy of the information available from a set of models. Small inaccuracies during the fabrication of restorations or dental appliances can lead to immense amounts of chair time and frustration. In this webinar we will look at the difference in how we take and use bite records depending on the Read More

CBD for TMD Facial Muscle Pain

11.11.20 | by Lee Ann Brady Comment

I will readily admit that I have been a skeptic about the value of CBD in dentistry, and my skepticism made me resist adding this to our options for our TMD patients. My patients however were ready to jump in and try it in hopes of getting some benefit. Their experiences have been a great motivator for my new learning. Read More

Out of Date Dental Office Systems

11.07.20 | by Lee Ann Brady Comment

I recently decided to review my new patient and health history forms. It shocked me how out of date they were, and then I realized it had been over a decade since I had reviewed them. This prompted questions about what other office systems might need a refresh. Read More
