...tremble in fear. While this treatment has become a standard orthodontic treatment, you still have a lot of myths surrounding it. You want to work with your child and work with the orthodontist. If you frame a visit in the right manner, you can make them want to go through with the process. Tell them about the positives like a beautiful straight smile. Help! It Hurts! It Hurts! One of the most common concerns that both mothers and children have is that this orthodontic treatment will cause a lot of pain. Many times, your child has even heard urban legends that getting braces will cause a lot of pain. The reality, however, is a little different. Orthodontic treatment does not equate to twisting or wrenching the teeth until they have agreed to submit. In fact, orthodontic equipment uses gentle but consistent pressure that...

...I’ve enjoyed being in a position where I can motivate others to achieve the success we are mutually trying to achieve. Outside of school I played a cricket, a sport I have competed in since childhood. Again, even in this leisure activity, I was drawn to seeking out a position to lead others. I was selected team captain, an honor that I took very seriously and led our team to a state level championship. I have an active interest in research. I’ve written papers based on my original research, exploring patient attitudes toward routine dental care and evaluating their knowledge of oral health. My publications have included original articles entitled: “Patient Satisfaction with Dental Health Care Services”, “Assessment of Partially Edentulous Patients Based on Kennedy's Classification and its Relationship with Gender Predilection” and “Assessment of The Awareness and Prevalence of Dental Caries in School Going Children”. In addition to research that culminated in papers, I began the initial development of a new clasp design for removable orthodontic appliances. This design is still in its early stages of development but would benefit from the guidance of professionals in the academic world. I have an intellectually curious mind that thrives on creating new ideas and products for the benefit of the field, and I am enthusiastic in developing it further. When I immigrated to the United States I started working in a private dental clinic in Chicago, desiring more exposure to evidence-based...

...Kathryn Henry Vocal Pedagogy Term Paper 4/27/14 Is it Locked?: The Study of the Temporomandibular Joint and its Effects on Vocal Production In this research paper, I will discuss the temporomandibular joint and its effects on vocal production. The paper begins with a definition of what the temporomandibular joint is, where it sits in the skull, and what its functions are. Following this section will be disorders and treatments of disorders that one may encounter involving the temporomandibular joint. Finally, I will discuss how temporomandibular joint disorders can negatively affect a singer’s vocal production. The Temporomandibular Joint, or TMJ, is a joint located in front of one’s ears on each side of the face. ‘Temporo’ refers to the temple, the bone in the side of one’s head, and ‘mandibular’ refers to the mandible. The joint connects the mandible to the bone on the side of the head. The TMJ allows the mandible to move up and down as well as back when chewing, talking, or yawning. As the mouth opens, the rounded edges of the mandible, called condyles, glide along the socket of the temporal bone. As the mouth closes, the condyles slide back into their original resting positions. The TMJ is a ginglymo-arthrodial joint, meaning that the joint allows forward and backward movements, ginglymoid, as well as gliding movements within narrow limits, arthrodial.The TMJ has a combination of hinging and sliding motions, making this joint among the most complicated of the human...

...Southeast of Iran and also, answer this question whether the status of oral health can modify OIDP index in adolescents. Materials and methods This report is the first phases of an interventional study of the effect of an oral health education program using PRECEDE - PROCEED model 12 on quality of life of children. A random sample of 400 adolescents between 11 and 13 year of age were recruited into the study through clustering of schools from both sexes, in 2012 in the city of Kerman, Southeast of Iran. Ethical approval of the study was obtained from research ethic committee of Kerman University of Medical Sciences. School officials, children’ parents and interviewees were briefed about the purpose and process of the study and consent was sought for questionnaire-led interviews and oral examination. Pupils with serious medical problem and any condition influencing on their quality of life and also their oral health such as orthodontic treatment, were excluded from the study. Oral health related quality of life data were collected by validated Persian version of child-OIDP questionnaire 13. Initially, children were asked to fill the self-completed part of the questionnaire on 17 oral health- related problems experienced in the past three months. Afterward, face-to-face interviews were conducted in the school health room on the basis of the questionnaire instruction, to collect data on the impacts of oral problems, considering eight common daily performances: eating, speaking, cleaning...

The impact of the macro - environment is evaluated. 2.1 The PESTLE is a management tool that involves identification of the political, economic, sociological, technological, legal, environmental factors that had an impact on an organisation in the past, and could affect organisation in the future. Carry out PESTLE along with SWOT analysis, assist in strategic decision- making, and setting realistic objectives. 2.2 The PESTLE analysis is attached as Appendix 1. 2.3 The SWOT analysis is attached as Appendix 2. 2.4 The evaluation of high impact environmental factors based on PESTLE analysis. 2.5.1 The Department of Health is making provisions to a number of changes to the NHS dental contract, based on capitation, quality and registration, rather than UDA system. The two prototype contracts will begin operating in 2015-2016 for a two year trial, before a general new contract is introduced for everyone, in consequence it is difficult to predict a full impact on our organisation until the trial is finished. This requires contract monitoring for the time being. 2.5.2 Due to providing assurance and reporting to the commissionaires in line with CQC and GDC requirements, our practice has been forced to invest over £100000 to meet mandatory standards by the end of 2012. This involved building of an extension and allocation of separate decontamination room, along with a staff training...

...BUSI 600 Liberty University September 20, 2013 Discussion Board Forum 5 This paper will attempt to answer varies questions from chapters nine and ten. The questions asked and answered pertain to ethical problems, experiments and their designs. After reading this paper you should know that there are some ethical issues when it comes to experimental research. You should also understand and become aware of the steps you should take to accomplish a well-planned experiment (Cooper & Schindler, 2011, p.206). There is information about the types of experimental designs and how they are different. Also discussed are the three communication approaches. Question 9.4 What ethical problems do you see in conducting experiments with human subjects? The question of “what ethical problems do you see in conducting experiments with human subjects?” is truly a multi-layered opinionated question that forces a person to ask “what would be the most responsible way society could condone such acts and what could be the worst case scenario?” The first step in analyzing this question is to define ethics. Ethics is defined as “norms or standards of behavior that guide moral choices about our behavior and our relationships with others” (Cooper & Schindler, 2011, p. 32). The key issues of ethics in experimentation relate to benefits, deception, informed consent, debriefing participants, and the right to privacy (Cooper & Schindler, 2011). It is important that the researcher “discuss the study’s...

Our study is the first to map changes in preferred orientation and lattice parameter as a function of position within enamel across a whole tooth section with such high resolution. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction with a micro-focused beam spot was used to collect two-dimensional (2D) diffraction images at 150 mm spatial resolution over the entire tooth crown. Contour maps of the texture and lattice parameter distribution of the hydroxyapatite phase were produced from Rietveld refinement of diffraction patterns generated by azimuthally sectioning and integrating the 2D images. The 002 Debye ring showed the largest variation in intensity. This variation is indicative of preferred...

...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...
