This interview with Dr. Steve Lambert highlights key insights into sleep disordered breathing (SDB) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with special focus on 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 such as 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝, and 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 (𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧).

🔑𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬🔑:
⁣
✅ Nearly all dental problems are related to 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 🦷.
⁣
✅ OSA involves both 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 (𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥) 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 (𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥/𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥) components, like impaired pharyngeal dilator muscle function, low arousal threshold, and unstable ventilatory control (high loop gain) 🌬️.
⁣
✅ The goal of treatment is to achieve a "𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞" (𝐏𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭) of minus 10 centimeters of water, meaning the airway withstands negative pressure without collapsing 🎯.
⁣
✅ 𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 are management tools, not cures, and although they can be very effective for OSA, they usually cause bite changes 💡.
⁣
✅ Effective treatment requires a comprehensive " 𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐭 " approach, combining multiple therapies rather than monotherapy, addressing structure, function, and behavior. 🧠
⁣
✅ Dr. Lamberg wrote the book 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆...

He also created the 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.
