333 – Can Intraoral Cameras Improve Dysphagia Management? Let’s Zoom In…
Manage episode 424401578 series 1997336
You know how dentists have those intraoral cameras that let patients see what’s going on in their mouth?
What if SLPs could use those as part of their dysphagia assessment?
Or as part of their biofeedback during therapy to check for residue and to see if certain compensatory strategies work? Just imagine quickly peeking into a patient’s mouth with an angled intraoral camera and finding bread in the valleculae from the patient’s last meal (which was two hours ago)!
Turns out we can!
James Curtis, PhD, CCC-SLP, and Ann Miles, PhD, are two SLPs and researchers who are exploring this idea and spill all the beans with us in this week’s episode of The Swallow Your Pride Podcast!
Join James and Anna as they discuss the intraoral camera and…
The benefits of adding it to our dysphagia assessments
Potential applications in therapy and patient education
The pioneering work of Jose Vergara’s team in Brazil
Technical challenges
Patient tolerance
Current and future research
Access to this instrument
Tune in and give a shout-out to your local dentist for inspiring this idea!
