  • Ep.52, Why Should You Have a Periodontist on Your Airway Team?, Dr. George Mandelaris
    Jun 9 2025
    Drs. Stacy, Tracey and George discuss the significance of corticotomies in periodontal practice, emphasizing their role in enhancing orthodontic treatments. The conversation highlighted the need for collaboration between periodontists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons to improve patient outcomes. George, a periodontist, explained that corticotomies involve surgical techniques that can expedite tooth movement and address aesthetic concerns, while also considering the health of the dental-gum complex.The discussion is aimed at educating dental professionals about these procedures and their applications in orthodontics. The speakers stressed the importance of personalized care and comprehensive treatment planning, advocating for a more integrated approach to dental care that includes periodontists in the decision-making process.This dialogue is crucial as it addresses the evolving landscape of periodontal surgery and its implications for patient care, particularly in preventing complications like gingival recession and root resorption. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, the speakers aim to enhance the quality of care and outcomes for patients undergoing orthodontic treatments.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

They are considered a key component in modern periodontal surgery, particularly for aesthetic crown enhancement and improving the dental gingival complex.Why is there a need for collaboration between periodontists and orthodontists in treatment planning?Collaboration is essential because periodontists can provide insights into the periodontal health of patients, which is often overlooked in traditional orthodontic practices. By working together, they can create more comprehensive treatment plans that address both aesthetic and functional outcomes, reducing the risk of complications like gingival recession and root resorption.What role does imaging technology, such as CBCT, play in periodontal and orthodontic treatments?Imaging technology like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) allows for detailed visualization of the dental and facial structures. This helps practitioners assess the periodontal health and bone morphology, enabling them to make informed decisions about treatment options and to avoid compromising the patient's long-term dental health.What are some common misconceptions about the role of periodontists in orthodontic treatment?A common misconception is that periodontists are not involved in orthodontic treatment planning. In reality, they play a crucial role in assessing periodontal health and ensuring that orthodontic movements do not lead to adverse outcomes, such as bone loss or gum recession, which can significantly affect a patient's quality of life.How can interdisciplinary treatment plans improve patient outcomes in dental care?Interdisciplinary treatment plans enhance patient outcomes by integrating the expertise of various dental specialists, such as periodontists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons. This collaborative approach ensures that all aspects of a patient's dental health are considered, leading to more effective treatments, reduced complications, and improved overall satisfaction.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

  • Ep.49, Ok My Vitamin D is Low…Now What? Part 2 Discussion, Dr. Stasha Gominak, MD
    May 13 2025
    In this podcast episode, Drs. Becker and Gominak, discussed the critical role of vitamins D and B in addressing sleep issues and overall health, particularly in children and families. The conversation highlighted the importance of a healthy gut microbiome, which acts as a vital organ influencing nutrient absorption and overall well-being. The Part 1 discussion took place in October, building on previous insights about vitamin deficiencies and their impact on sleep and health.The speakers emphasized that simply taking supplements is not enough; understanding the biochemical interactions and the need for a balanced diet is crucial. They noted that many patients experience deficiencies despite consuming adequate nutrients, suggesting that gut health plays a significant role in nutrient utilization. The conversation also touched on the complexities of nutrient absorption and the necessity of tailored supplementation based on individual health needs.This dialogue is important as it sheds light on the interconnectedness of nutrition, gut health, and sleep, urging both clinicians and the public to engage in deeper discussions about these topics for better health outcomes. The insights shared could lead to significant improvements in patient care and health management strategies.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to sleep issues, and B vitamins are crucial for utilizing the nutrients needed for recovery.Why might patients still experience B vitamin deficiencies despite consuming a diet rich in these vitamins?Patients may become B vitamin deficient due to factors such as gut microbiome imbalances, which affect nutrient absorption. Even with a proper diet, if the gut is not functioning optimally, the body may not effectively utilize the B vitamins from food.How does the gut microbiome influence the absorption of minerals like iron and sulfur?The gut microbiome plays a critical role in the absorption of minerals. Specific bacteria are needed to convert these minerals into forms that the body can use, and without a healthy microbiome, the absorption process can be compromised.What is the significance of the blood-brain barrier in relation to vitamin supplementation?The blood-brain barrier is crucial because it regulates what substances can enter the brain. Just because serum levels of vitamins like D are adequate does not guarantee that they are effectively crossing this barrier to support brain health.How can clinicians better support their patients in understanding the complexities of gut health and nutrition?Clinicians can educate their patients about the intricate relationships between gut health, nutrition, and overall wellness. This includes discussing the importance of a balanced microbiome, the role of specific nutrients, and the need for personalized supplementation protocols based on individual health needs.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

  • Ep.48, A Journey in Dentistry to Helping Kids Breathe, Sleep and Function Well, Dr. Ben Miralgia
    Apr 28 2025
    In this podcast, Dr. Ben Miralgia, a general dentist with over 31 years of experience, discusses the evolution of orthodontics and the importance of early intervention in children's dental health. He shares his journey from traditional restorative dentistry to discovering expansive orthodontics, which focuses on jaw development rather than just aligning teeth. The conversation highlights the detrimental effects of early soft foods on jaw growth and the resulting prevalence of malocclusion in children.Dr. Becker emphasizes the need for early treatment to promote proper jaw size and function, which can prevent issues like mouth breathing and enlarged tonsils and adenoids. He argues that many children do not require tonsillectomies if proper orthodontic techniques and myofunctional therapy are employed. The discussion underscores the significance of addressing these issues early to improve overall health outcomes for children. This episode is crucial as it advocates for a shift in dental practices to prioritize jaw growth and function, ultimately benefiting children's long-term health.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.

Dr. Becker discusses how the literature points to resident viruses as the culprit as well...however...expansion techniques are showing shrinkage post expansion and more answers may come in the future with further research. What does the Dr Miralgia suggest about the effectiveness of upper expanders in orthodontic treatment?The speaker argues that upper expanders alone are often ineffective without addressing nasal breathing and tongue space, as they do not provide sufficient skeletal changes or improvements in symptoms.This is the ASAP Pathway Podcast, Airway, Sleep, and Pediatric Pathway, where sleep and airway health take center stage, one breath at a time.
