KIDS & TMJ PROBLEMS - lifelong consequences! With Dr. Mark Piper & Dr. Nick Yiannios

Описание: An interview between Dr. Nick Yiannios and Dr. Mark Piper. TMJ problems can happen at ANY AGE, and they frequently do. Traumas, falls, sports injuries; events such as these can damage the TMJ ligaments of a child's lower jaw, stunting the growth of their lower jaw and subsequently altering their bite and facial skeleton for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, these events are rarely identified. Dr. Mark Piper and Dr. Nick Yiannios discuss one of the saddest inadequacies in dental medicine, missing the diagnosis in children…

Discussed: skeletal class II genesis, which is rarely genetic, and mostly due to environmental damage to the TMJ downwards and forwards growth center. Displace a TMJ disk in a growing child, and one stunts the growth of not only the condylar head, but of the downwards and forwards growth of the entire mandible. Resultant of this, the mandible becomes retrognathic (pulled back) and class II. Since that patient is always on their posterior teeth, the neurology kicks in via excessive hyperfunction of the masticatory muscles due to excessive posterior frictional engagements of these back teeth. Anterior teeth cannot do their job to create an anterior guidance that is timely and required, so the patient parafunctions (clenches and grinds excessively), with attendant sequelae which may include chronic headaches, broken teeth, hypersensitive teeth, etc. Years of failed dental treatments later (splints, orthodontics, restorative, jaw surgery maybe...), this patient becomes a sleep apnea patient later in life since the mandible did not properly carry all of the soft tissues connected to the mandible to allow proper oropharyngeal airway space, all due to the fall that was unidentified decades prior...

Dr. Mark Piper is a TMJ surgeon with over 30 years of experience who practices in ST. Petersburg, Florida. He is also the founder of the Piper Education and Reserach Center (PERC), an advanced continuing medical and dental education facility.
