Episode #115 - Live From Seattle Study Club Symposium 2018 with Dr. James Woodyard, Dr. Pat Allen, and Dr. Jason Stoner

Summary: <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It has been an incredible week at the 25th Anniversary Legacy Tour of the Seattle Study Club Symposium in Palm Springs, California. Today, I have three amazing clinicians here to talk about the perio aspect of dentistry. They are all three periodontists. Jason Stoner is a periodontist in Columbus, Ohio. Pat Allen is a periodontist in Dallas, Texas. James Woodyard is a periodontist in Newburgh, Indiana.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We talk about the future of perio and how technology is changing everything. We discuss the importance of having a mentor and belonging to a study club. We talk about taking a holistic view of dentistry and incorporating medical into the practice. This is a great discussion where we get the point of view of three unique practitioners.</span></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><strong>You can find the panel here:</strong></p><br> <p><a href="https://www.woodyardperio.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. James Woodyard</span></a></p><br> <p><a href="http://www.dredwardpallen.com/index.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Pat Allen</span></a></p><br> <p><a href="https://www.stonerperiospecialists.com/dr-jason-c-stoner-dds-ms/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Jason Stoner</span></a></p><br> <p> </p><br> <p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[01:34] Jason Stoner is a periodontist in Columbus, Ohio.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[01:34] Pat Allen is a periodontist in Dallas, Texas.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[01:35] James Woodyard is a periodontist in Newburgh, Indiana</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[02:01] Today, we talk about the future of perio and uniqueness that each different doctor brings to the practice.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[02:08] Dr. Allen has been in practice for more than 40 years. He has seen a lot of changes. He has noticed that technology is pushing forward and changing what is done in the office.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[02:53] Dr. Stoner thinks that the new technologies and diagnostic tools that are coming in the next decade are unbelievable.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[03:09] The focus is coming back to saving teeth again. Stem cells and biologic agents from our own bodies are going to make this a very different landscape.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[03:57] When Dr. Woodyard first read about these new technologies, they were too expensive to implement for most patients, but as the technology increases the cost actually goes down making a bright future for perio and advanced technology. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[04:36] Dental implants are wonderful, but nothing we do lasts forever. Teeth are easier to fix than anything, so maybe we need to spend more time trying to save the tooth.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[05:06] We are lucky to have a specialty system. Being able to collaborate with specialists opens a whole new opportunity.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[06:08] Multidisciplinary care means treating more than one discipline on a patient. Interdisciplinary is interacting and coordinating with other disciplines.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[06:37] Common knowledge is important even if you're not the one actually doing the procedure.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[07:00] Creating an interdisciplinary team takes work and communication.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[07:21] Introducing medical into the dental interdisciplinary team is part of the future.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[08:25] Everything that we do is really about inflammation. Inflammation is the enemy.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[09:55] In the 80s there was a multidisciplin</span></p>
