Send us Fan Mail "ICONIC!" - Co-founder of Dental Boot Camp, Dr. Mac Lee and Educator/Author Dr. Pam Marzban talk about their efforts to bring the awareness of Craniomandibular Orthopedics to the public and dental profession alike. Please join us! About Dr. Lee: Third-generation dentist in rural Edna, Tx Retired, after five decades of clinical dentistry and is now writing, teaching, ranching, and being with kids and grandkids. Deeply trained in CR dentistry with LD Pankey, Pete Dawson, and John Kois who all became personal friends. His first dental epiphany was at the Pankey Institute in 1977. His grandfather’s records from 1928 told a story of treating periodontal disease as an infection, cleaning the area (SRP), using an antimicrobial, teaching the patient how to keep it clean, and letting the body heal itself. Mac took the antimicrobial his grandfather used, changed the name, got FDA approval, and then sold it through Premier Dental. His second dental epiphany was seeing the mouth through a totally different set of eyes. This led to me becoming a Regent for the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics and to his Amazon book, The Life Robbing Pain of TMD; Why Me? He redid Joleen’s FMR to a more comfortable and beautiful position. About Dr. Marzban: Graduating from a highly accredited dental school is the minimum requirement necessary to provide quality cosmetic dental care.

After graduating with honors from the Medical College of Virginia, she pursued a rigorous post-graduate training program at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), the leading school for cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry in the nation. Upon completion of this program, she graduated as an LVI Fellow.
