The lesions have to be assessed as to whether the caries is limited to enamel or if it has progressed to dentin. The activity of lesions need to be determined as cavitated lesions continue to trap bacterial plaque and need to be restored. A single observation will only tell the clinician about the condition of the tooth at that single point in time; but, it will not determine whether the demineralization increasing or, perhaps decreasing. The small lesion needs to be well examine than the larger lesion (Whitaker., 2006).
External influences are all around us, and whether we realize it or not they affect how we think and act on a daily basis. This is the concept of the priming effect. The priming effect is when something happens to us, and influence our behavior after the experience. This usually happens subconsciously without the person knowing. There is also a phenomenon with the priming effect called ideomotor effect. This is the influencing of an action by the idea. What this all means is that if you were walking down the hallway with your friends, without you even realizing it, your body either slows down or speeds up depending on the pace your friends are walking at. That shows how the external influences, like your friends, can affect and change your behavior. Some external influences have influenced my behavior in many different ways. The school community has changed my thoughts and
Observational studies are studies in which the researcher merely observes the study units, making one or more measurements on each. (R.C Elston &W.D Johnson, 2008)
Snap, crackle, and pop, are often words heard only when eating cereal, however, to an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon they are quite common sounds, heard nearly every tooth extraction. Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons are often a mix between a dentist and a medical doctor, because they often have degrees in both. Oral surgeons treat head and neck injuries, which can include trauma, cancer, and cosmetic surgery, along with dental alveolar, and orthognathic surgery. The patients of an Oral surgeon range from the everyday wisdom tooth extraction in teenagers, to small children with cleft palates, to elderly patients getting implants, to severe trauma. In short the Oral Surgeon sees a wide variety of patients and covers a vast amount of medical
Your task is to choose someone famous who has inspired you or the world. Someone who has had to overcome obstacles they may have had about themselves. Someone who relied on their principles and has achieved some form of success. Below are three (3) links that may provide ideas:
Forensic Odontology (Dentistry) is a new and growing branch of Forensic Medicine. The journey started from the mother of Roman Emperor Nero, in 49 AD who was identified and discovered by her discoloured front teeth, following her assassination. [1]
Lately, I’ve realized that I am so afraid of failure that I don’t try, or quit, if I feel that I won’t reach my own expectations. This hit home last Friday when I made a B on my physiology exam; I came home crying and wanting to quit the class. My husband kept staring at me like I was crazy and my son responded with “Good thing you don’t have my grades; we would have to hide the gun.”. I wanted to quit over a B, I might have overacted just a little. So, I mapped out all the possible causes to find out why I am so afraid to fail.
Driver distractions can contribute to lane departure crashes and collisions with other vehicles on the road, which may lead to serious injuries and deaths of individuals involved. The development of new technologies has allowed manufacturers to equip their vehicles with collision warning and avoidance systems in the areas of frontal, blind spot, and accidental lane departure collisions. These systems detect problems that a distracted driver may not spot, so they can aid distracted drivers in avoiding collisions, and injuries and deaths as a result.1 Frontal collision, blind spot monitoring, and lane departure warning systems use a combination of radars, lasers, and cameras to detect and process road markers and vehicles surrounding the vehicle
When we define something it is because we want to understand it. We want to understand it because our knowledge of it is unacceptable. We aren't satisfied with what we know, but we learn to accept either the offered definition or the lack thereof. To accept something is to tolerate it, tolerance is the allowance of an occurrence of something one does not necessarily agree with yet does not interfere with. By tolerating something we allow uncertainty, uncertainty leads us down a journey of self-discovery, on this journey we learn to either accept uncertainty or define the term for ourselves in a most meaningful way.
Gingival recession is an apical shift of the gingival margin with exposure of the root surface to the oral cavity. Gingival recession may be present in healthy gingival sulcus with normal interdental crestal bone levels or it may occur in an ailing periodontium with alveolar bone loss. Patients often visit the dentist for treatment of gingival recession due to aesthetic reasons. Other glitches faced by the patients are hypersensitivity due to exposed roots and root abrasion or caries. The definitive objective of a root coverage technique is complete coverage of the recession defect with the gingival tissues in good appearance and harmony with the adjacent tissues after healing.
First, we perceive what is going on around us by gathering and interpreting the information supplied by our senses. Perception is the interpretation of what we record .Each individual gives personal meaning to the information that enters the brain, thus making the data subjective rather than objective.
Initial Periodontal Therapy is a treatment which consists of careful cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus from deep pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins. Initial Periodontal Therapy reduces gingival probing depths and inflammation, and it shifts the bacterial composition living in these pockets from one associated with disease toward one associated with health. Thus, Initial Periodontal Therapy is usually the first mode of treatment recommended for most of the patients. This paper reviews and discusses the concepts underlying Periodontal Initial Therapy, its indications and limitations, and presents clinical case reports of the patients undergone Periodontal Initial Therapy.

Indications for indirect pulp capping procedure are on a tooth with no pulpitis or with reversible pulpitis where a thin layer of dentine is left behind to prevent iatrogenic pulpal exposure.2
Earthquakes are caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little.
Touch. It is the essence of every human being that wants to successfully coordinate himself in the environment around him. To put it another way, touch is one of the most important senses that every being posses but most of the time it is the one that is most neglected as well. qTouch plays a big role in everyday life for every creature but there are some professions that necessarily need the touch component to be more precise and present.
