Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What a CBCT Can and Can't Show You with Dr. Chris Matessi
Q: When does an MRI come into play?
CBCT does not show the TMJ's soft tissues directly. Matessi recommends considering MRI when conservative TMD treatment has not worked and further assessment of the disc, joint spaces, inflammation, or internal derangement could help guide care.
What a CBCT Can and Can't Show You with Dr. Chris Matessi
Q: When do we choose open mouth? When is a closed mouth scan important?
For TMJ assessment, Matessi prefers a high-resolution closed-mouth scan in maximum intercuspation, stabilized with a chin cup. A second, low-resolution open-mouth scan can help assess condylar translation. Dental and implant scans are generally taken with a bite stick, with positioning adjusted for full-arch planning.
Our Evolving Understanding of Occlusion with Dr. Jim McKee
Q: How do everyday restorative dentists determine whether it's at the lateral or the medial pole? How do you determine that? Imaging?
McKee says history and bite provide a tentative diagnosis, while imaging is the only way to determine the joint condition. Symptoms such as clicking, locking, difficulty opening, pain, headaches, trauma, and prior treatment help him decide whether imaging is warranted.
Our Evolving Understanding of Occlusion with Dr. Jim McKee
Q: Do you mind just explaining the function of the anterior deprogrammer?
McKee explains that anterior deprogrammers contact the front teeth and separate the back teeth. They have been used to assess whether symptoms may be muscle-related or intercapsular, though he cautions that pain is not a reliable screening measure, particularly in growing patients.
Reviews, Referrals, and Word of Mouth for Dental Practices with Stephen Taylor of Delmain
Q: Do you have a commentary on AI answering type of services?
Taylor says evidence for dental practices is still limited, but patients generally want quick access to a person rather than being routed around. He advises caution about AI handling interactions involving HIPAA and favors human responses when patient experience or compliance could be affected.
