Video Summary
The video transcript discusses the use of temporary oral appliances in dental sleep medicine practice. Temporary oral appliances are designed to treat sleep apnea or snoring and can be customized to fit individual patients. They are indicated for short-term use, typically three to six months, or as interim use for up to 12 months. The advantages of temporary oral appliances include quick and immediate treatment, lower cost than custom oral appliances, and the ability to mold them as dental work is completed. However, they are less effective than custom appliances, have limited life spans, and can be less comfortable and bulky for patients. The transcript also explores different types of temporary appliance materials and propulsion mechanisms and provides tips and recommendations for fitting and choosing the right appliance for patients. The video concludes by emphasizing the importance of having temporary oral appliances in stock for immediate chair side delivery in case of emergencies.
