Immune-Focused Dentistry and Our Role in Systemic Health
Miguel Stanley, DDS is an adjunct assistant professor, department of restorative dentistry at UPenn, and has lectured in over 54 countries in the past 2 decades. He was recently voted one of the 32 most influential people in dentistry by the incisal edge magazine, one of only 3 Europeans to make the list. He created the No Half Smiles treatment philosophy over 15 years ago, is the founder of the Slow Dentistry Global Network present in over 50 countries and more recently of the Missing Link an artificial intelligence company that can screen X-rays for oral inflammation helping cancer patients amongst others locate hidden inflammation. He is the creator of the T7 treatment philosophy we are certain he will talk about today.
Dentists have a rare opportunity to improve patients’ systemic health when providing therapy. The scientific evidence connecting oral disease and systemic illness is robust and growing and it is our responsibility as physicians of the oral cavity to enhance our diagnostic methods and treatment options that can also boost our patients’ whole-body health while synergistically delivering state of the art dentistry.
For many years now, Dr Stanley and his team have been focusing on simple protocols that any general practitioner or advanced oral surgeon can implement into their daily workflow that can help, not only to improve surgical outcomes but also to have a deep impact in patients systemic health. We have a unique opportunity to play a major role in connecting dentistry to systemic health.
