Treatment Planning for Ortho & Airway | Dr. Gregg Kinzer of Spear Education
Description
How should a restorative dentist treatment plan when ortho and airway are part of the picture? Dr. Gregg Kinzer, faculty chairman at Spear Education, explains why the best rehab is often the one you never have to do.
In this episode:
- Why putting teeth in the right position first means less dentistry, done more predictably
- Airway-aware vs airway-directed treatment planning, and what to do when patients say no
- Why Spear isn't just about big rehabs anymore
- Working with Dr. Jeff Rouse and the Seattle protocol
- Where to start: study clubs, the Spear Online Library or hands-on workshops
Plus dental news: bariatric surgery and cavity risk, the Henry Schein cyber attack, and free dental care for veterans.
Dr. Gregg Kinzer received his DDS from the University of Washington in 1995 and his MSD and certificate in prosthodontics in 1998. He is faculty chairman and director of clinical content and campus education at Spear Education, and practices in Seattle with his wife, Dr. Jill Kinzer.
