Measured Dental Science Matters

Objective diagnostics must always precede responsible treatment!

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, 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.

Our Primary Purposes: 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 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.

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.
