...if they had had previous dental x-rays. When the patient arrived for their initial appointment with the dental hygienist she would ask the patient about previous x-rays while gathering other health and dental information. If the patient thought that they had x-rays within the last five years the hygienist would have to obtain the previous dentists name and phone number and call them herself or have another staff member call and find out when the x-rays had been taken. In general, a full set (18 individual x-rays), an FMX, is taken every 5 years, and set of bitewings, BWX, (2 or 4 individual x-rays/depending on the age of the patient) are taken once a year, and a panorex is taken when needed for oral surgery purposes (wisdom teeth), orthodontics, trauma, or for other diagnostic needs. The previous process wasted not only the dental hygienists time, but the patients and the dental practices time as well. This process also made the practice seem somewhat unorganized. Dental x-rays are a vital part of a patient’s history. X-rays are used to diagnose a multitude of conditions, including decay, periodontal disease, cysts, tumors, and congenital abnormalities. If the x-rays are not available the proper diagnosis of the patient is not possible. Having the x-rays available prior to the patient’s first appointment would be a time and money saver by utilizing less chair time and less supplies. More...

...JAPAN’S CULTURE JAPAN’S CULTURE History Japan has a very colorful history filled with rulers such as samurai warriors and emperor kings. The samurai warrior ruled Japan in the twelfth century and was a distinctive social class. The samurai tradition was mainly about war. The samurai tradition consisted of singling out a worthy opponent for a challenge. They would wait until enemy lines were broken and then enter into single combat. People began to develop battlefields to fight and would have battles several times to establish territory. (Clode, 2011) This was the beginning of the fighting and war that continued in Japan for centuries to come. Throughout Japan’s history it saw the rise and fall of many emperors that ruled the country. Through most of the history of Japan they had a policy that their borders were locked to the outside world and they did not allow foreigners in their country. This same policy applied to the Japanese people and they were not allowed to leave the country. The early emperors in Japan ruled the country by engaging in wars and the country was primarily run as an imperial and military rule. (Facts About Japan, 2013) After many years of declaring war on countries in nineteen thirty seven Japan declared war on China. This war led to the nineteen forty two attack that Japan launched in the United States on Pearl Harbor. After almost eight years of war atomic bombs were dropped on Japan bringing this war to an end. After Japan surrendered...
