What is an "Outlier Dental Professional"?

Dentists should be experts, minimally, at three topics: teeth, gums, and bites.  They generally excel at the first two concepts but fail typically on the last concept; the bite.  TMJ is just anatomy. The TMJs are 2/3 of the human bite. TMD is an umbrella term that involves orthopedic, muscular, neurological, rheumatological and/or dentally related issues. We believe in objectively measuring bite and “TMJ” problems whenever possible. Many times the TIMING of your bite is out of alignment and that IS the root cause of your “TMJ” problems. What do Lasers, PRF, & Ozone have to do with outlier dentistry?  Think vascularity, blood is life; simple, science based, and effective. These concepts should be used in every single modern dental practice and the CNO curriculum is designed to teach dentists and dental specialists how to integrate all of these concepts into their everyday practice. What about mastering laser dentistry and med grade ozone usage?  How about the autonomic sympathetic nervous systems influence upon the everyday practice of dentistry? These skills will make you stand out in your community, with scores of happy patients sending you a continual supply of new patients willing to pay for your services.  Do you think the cure for sensitive teeth might promote growth within your dental practice?  The concept of the dental allodynia is something most dental professionals cannot even define, but once one understands the concept and the science behind confounding pain problems, the sky is the limit in regards to practice growth.  Always remember, Measured Matters in a practice based on objective and reproducible scientific principles!

Our Primary Purpose: Diagnoses Must Always Precede Responsible & Scientifically Validated Treatments!

To train dental health professionals in objectively measurable and scientifically validated occlusal/bite and TMJ/D diagnostic and treatment solutions.  To proffer the importance of 3D imaging of the orthopedic temporomandibular joints, including MRI and CBCT. To train these same professionals in techniques and protocols that lead to superior treatment outcomes in regards to not only bite/occlusal and TMJ/D therapies, but to superior surgical, endodontic, periodontic, cosmetic and implant related treatment outcomes via the mastery of techniques such as Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF), Lasers, and Ozone.To offer alternative scientifically-validated treatments which are not taught in mainstream dental continuing education settings, such as digitally-guided occlusal adjustment therapy, joint-based occlusion concepts, and TMJ prolotherapy using iPRF and ozone.

Dr. Nick Yiannios – Occlusal, orofacial and TMD pain has long demanded the attention of both medical and dental professionals. Essentially, everything in the human body is connected in some way, shape or form…Continue Reading

DOCTORS – Get CNO Certified

How Neural Occlusion Screening Works

Neural Occlusion screening involves the utilization of hi-tech objective technologies, knowledge, and protocols to ascertain whether or not a patient possesses a proper bite and stable and adapted TMJs, and/or if their problem(s) arise from other sources.
