...Since 7000 B.C. dentistry has been one of the oldest medical professions. James Wynbrandt explains throughout much recorded time, dentistry has been more advanced at the hands of unskilled practitioners. According to Wynbrandt, many people in the past did not have the misery of tooth decay, but most problems arose from the excessive wearing of the teeth. This dental problem had been seen in many dental remains of all prehistoric times. A few years later another problem occurred called tooth decay and gum disease. If a tooth had this problem the tooth extraction was knocked out by a piece of hard stone or other rigid objects. Wynbrandt points out dentistry was first practice as a form a medicine by a priest that use chant, prayers, and ornaments...

...Case Reports in Pediatric Dentistry Edited by Evert van Amerongen Maddelon de Jong-Lenters Luc Marks Jaap Veerkamp Quintessence Publishing Co Ltd London, Berlin, Chicago, Tokyo, Barcelona, Beijing, Istanbul, Milan, Moscow, New Delhi, Paris, Prague, São Paulo, Seoul and Warsaw Foreword It is essential that clinicians treating children have a high degree of awareness and knowledge of a wide range of oral conditions to optimize the dental care for their patients. Some of these conditions are commonly encountered whereas others are rather infrequent, thus giving the practicing dentist limited experience to build up diagnostic and treatment skills. The latter may concern, for example, different types of developmental disturbances such as hypodontia or disturbances of mineralization of dental hard tissues, as well as pathologic conditions in oral mucosa and bone. Of great interest in increasing knowledge and clinical experiences is the case reports/presentations, which, unfortunately to a limited extent, are published in pediatric scientific journals. This book has been produced in an attempt to overcome this and to give dentists involved in clinical dentistry for children an opportunity to a systematic approach in continuing education in diagnostics, indications, treatment, and follow-up of cases that could be seen in their own practices. In this book, 16 cases treated by experienced clinicians are presented, including case history, examination, diagnosis, indications for...

KNOW YOUR PATIENT * Who is taking care of the child? * Who is with him today? * Is the child attending school? * Who referred the patient? * Where does the child live? * Important factors to be addressed during the child’s initial dental visit (3-6) * Limited existing health history * No clinical baseline data * Behavioral unknowns * A primary dental occlusion with limited predictive value * Preventive needs that must be assessed A thorough case history and clinical examination of the child patient is important in order to: * Establish good contact with and knowledge of the child and parent * Decide on prescriptions of radiographic and laboratory examinations * Identify possible signs of general conditions and diseases * Arrive at a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan CASE HISTORY Case history in children, especially young children has to be taken through another person, the parent.

...Brief History of Mumps and who can Be Affected Mumps have been around for a thousand years, since the 5th Century BCE, Hippocrates an ancient Physician from Greece was the first to administer and describe the symptoms of mumps as a virus infection that usually affects children. This disease spread rapidly through direct contact with people that are also infected and this virus spread even more in respiratory droplets or airborne transmission (Dworkin, 2010).

This discovery was further enhanced by the German Biologist, John Enders and American biologist Karl Habel, who...

...The Judgement of Beauty The judgments of beauty are universally consistent and biologically based, not influenced by culture and individual history. Argue for or against this statement using what you have learned from the course to support your point of view. You may use one or more examples from outside readings to illustrate your points. “Beauty”, as defined in the Oxford Dictionary (2015), is a collection of pleasant qualities, especially those increase the attractiveness of a person or an object. It can be categorized into two different kinds: external beauty and inner beauty (Panek, 2011). External beauty mainly focuses on appearance and body shape (Etcoff, 1999), while inner beauty refers to internal qualities which is considered nice and graceful to others (Perry, 2011). A person described as “beautiful” usually possess a combination of both. While the concept of “inner beauty” is universal, the standard of external beauty is subject to variations (Carla615, 2011), hence would be the main focus of this essay. Some believe that such judgments are universally consistent and based on biological evidence, while others are convinced that culture and one’s individual background may also impact on judgements of beauty. In fact, judgments of beauty are made under a mixed factor of biological intuition, individual history and cultural change. They are not universal across the world. Across centuries, the standard of beauty was always under the influence of culture. Culture...

...[Enter the REPORT TITLE here] Charter College Abstract In oral health care, the number and range of laser-based technologies have expanded enormously over the past two decades. The scope of this paper is to alert the dental professional to the extent, application, and responsibilities associated with safety when using lasers designed for use in dentistry. By far, the majority of laser instruments are within the private (nonhospital) clinic setting. Laser use extends from those procedures of a diagnostic or nonsurgical (bio stimulatory or photochemical) nature, to more powerful devices that are used in surgical procedures. Low-powered lasers may deliver energy of a few millijoules, whereas surgical lasers may have pulsed emission modes capable of peak power delivery in excess of 1,000 Watts. Laser radiation can be dangerous, because it is concentrated and powerful. This paper draws upon the standards outlined by the International Electro-technical Commission Keywords: ANSI: American National Standards Institute. A not-for-profit organization, founded in 1918, that oversees the administration and coordination of the United States private sector voluntary standardization system.
