Just came back to say thankyou to Dr. Ryan. I passed iNBDE in Dec/2021 and mental dental videos were my only source. It was my first attempt and it was overwhelming, but the videos provided a structure to work on. A big shout out to Dr. Ryan, you are my saviour. God bless.
Thankyou Ryan for all the Hard work you have for the inbde video series. I watched all your videos while working as a security guard and passed my exam with 3 months of preparation, all thanks to you. 🙏🏼
@@mentaldental So I know this is to prepare for an exam, but a couple things that caught my eye: - With OSA and UARS, probably retrognathia is more common and physiologically associated than high and narrow arched palate. For kids definitely something to look out for since it can be expanded MUCH easier and effectively than in adulthood. Also for retrognathia cephalometric analysis can often be very misleading as it uses Frankfort Horizontal Plane which can result in more upward head postures especially in those with steep occlusal planes, who often are the ones with OSA/UARS. Natural Head Posture is recommended for gauging orientation in those with OSA/UARS, subjective view on recession rather than following a computer is probably recommended. - Mallampati score can sometimes be used be used to gauge candidacy for maxillomandibular advancement. When the jaws are advanced the mallampati score can often be lowered, especially in those with severe hypoplasia. Can also place fingers underneath the chin like when testing for intubation to see how many will fit. Obesity also can result in fat depositing into the tongue, enlarging the tongue, whereas MMA can move the jaws forward or rotate counterclockwise away from the airway. In either case, this masterclass in sleep apnea I think, would grant most clinicians well above average knowledge. My feeling is very often most clinicians know little about sleep apnea.
My husband has had osa (treated with CPAP) for many years. To all students that may be watching this and reading the comments, please be cautious when recommending surgical interventions. My husband is very active on osa forums, and in their hope to avoid sleeping with a CPAP machine (good quality masks and machines are often not at all covered by insurance which makes compliance a problem) they have tried these treatments and been generally very disappointed with the results. This is on the ground patient forums and of course we know that dissatisfied people tend to talk more. :). Just please use caution in recommendations for people that have already got the osa diagnosis and are currently taking treatment as prescribed by their doctors.
Saudi dental licenses exams more harder than the us if you could take a look on the mcqs bank you prepare for the fresh graduate there your Chanel will be more famous

Hey Ryan thank you for your help! I passed my exam and I'd say that I got at least 300 questions from your videos. Thank you!
That’s awesome, Edgar! Congratulations on your pass! 🤩🙌🏼
One of the most well informed sleep apnea lectures I've seen on the platform, well done!
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏼
