Diet In Relation To The Teeth, Gordon Adolph Peterson

Bachelors’ Theses

It should, be fully appreciated, by all, that the process of enamel development in the teeth, their eruption and nutrition is a part of the development of the osseous system, and is affected by the same factors that influence bone growth. If a tooth is poorly made, the best that can be done for its preservation is frequent repair.

Can Pyorrhoea Be Cured?, Albert Richard Moeder

Bachelors’ Theses

Pyorrhoea is one of the best known and commonest diseases in civilization. A certain dental company is advertising that four out of five are infected by this disease. This company has been lenient in their accusation, as men who are ardent students of pyorrhoea state specifically that 90 per cent of the world’s population have it in some form or other or have symptoms which would eventually turn into pyorrhoea. Knowing this and knowing also the results and unnecessary pain and discomforts that are produced, every individual should respect and fear this disease accordingly.

Oral Sepsis In Its Relation To Systemic Diseases, W. F. Neuschafer

Bachelors’ Theses

The discovery of a relationship between ill health and defective teeth is by no means recent. It has received casual mention.in the older literature and has been independently recognized, perhaps for centuries, by practitioners of medicine and dentistry. The subject has not received the prominence it deserves, however, previous to the past decade. The earlier idea of such a relation was, however, limited largely to acute generalized infection from a wound, or surgical sepsis. Rarely a clinician had a wider conception of the possible effects of a local infection.

Elimination Of Pain In Cavity Preparation, Albert N. Weinzierl

Bachelors’ Theses

It is pain and fear of pain that vacates the dental chair. We may use every means at our command to gain our objective with nothing but mediocre success so long as the spectre of pain confronts the patient. In spite of the fact that people of today are more dental minded, the percentage of adequately cared for mouths is negligible. Various reasons have been offered as to why the dental profession fails to attract a larger and more earnest clientele. The lack of dental prestige, the lack of appreciation by the laity of the vital importance of mouth care …

Hemorrhage Following Extractions, Hyman Soref

Bachelors’ Theses

Hemorrhage, or the discharge of blood from a ruptured blood vessel during life, constitutes one of the normal results of every operation of tooth extraction. In the majority of cases its control is simple, as it ceases within a short time and need be no cause for alarm. In exceptional cases, however, the discharge may be prolonged and excessive and cause, not only great anxiety to the dentist, but also much mental stress and a condition of extreme physical exhaustion to the patient. In such cases it must be regarded as a very serious complication necessitating prompt and exceptional treatment. …

The Pulpless Tooth, John Saggio

Bachelors’ Theses

The pulpless tooth has been a topic of long discussion in the dental profession. From the maze of arguments that have been given certain concepts, have been accepted. To begin with, it is commonly believed that the periapical infection, if allowed to persist, will sooner or later lead to a breaking down of the patient’s general health. It is also generally accepted that, biologically, the pulpless tooth is not a dead tooth, in the sense that it becomes a foreign body. The greater part of the dental profession also believe that an exposed, non-infected pulp may be so treated that …

Pre-Natal Diet And Infant Feeding, Frank J. Ryan

Bachelors’ Theses

The times, when it was necessary for every expectant mother to sacrifice her teeth in order to supply her child with calcium, are past. Women today, who are pregnant, can live as normally and as healthily as those women who are not pregnant. This is made possible by the extensive research and investigation of diets and qualifications of foods.

The Spleen Considered With Special Reference To Its Functions, Louis J. Schmidt

Bachelors’ Theses

In arranging this thesis an attempt has been made to show that by virtue of its embryology, anatomy and histology, the spleen is the better enabled to carry out its alleged functions. The discussion here presented is confined to a story of the functions of the mammalian spleen alone. The similarities in the reactions of the spleen in the various mammalia is quite evident. Experimentation and observations were carried out on the lower mammalia while only the reactions of the splenectomized humans could be observed.

Vincent’S Disease The Causes Manifestations Results & Treatment, Frederick J. Schneider

Bachelors’ Theses

Vincent’s infection is a disease of the soft tissues of the oral cavity. It was not until the last decade or two that Vincent’s disease was accorded the prominence which it merits. The incidence of this disease during the World’s War as an epidemic and the large number of cases occuring since then has brought this disease to the attention of the medical and dental profession. Today Vincent’s infection is encountered quite frequently and, in view of the fact that it is a cause of temporary and often prolonged invalidism, its causes, manifestations, results and treatment are constantly undergoing scientific …

Disease In Connection With Dentition, Lowell Meyer

Bachelors’ Theses

In order to appreciate fully the large field included in the word disease which might be included in this thesis, the word must first be defined. It is of French derivation, being coined from the two words, des or negative, plus aise or ease. Going further, Dorland’s medical dictionary further defines it as any departure from a state of health. More specifically it is a definite morbid process having a characteristic train of symptoms. It may effect the whole body and any of its parts, and its etiology, pathology, and prognosis may be known or unknown.

Etiology Of Malocclusion, Chester Strahorn

Bachelors’ Theses

By those who regard orthodontic treatment in the light of a purely mechanical procedure the etiology of malocclusion is given a position of secondary importance. While not belittling the necessity for thorough treatment, it has been found that some cases under the most careful treatment procedure have been failures. This leads one to suppose that in such conditions the causative factors, whether known or unknown, are still in force. Therefore it is of first importance to the orthodontist to get all possible information which bears on the cause of malocclusion. Medical literature contains much testimony to the effect that all …

X-Ray And Its Interpretation, Sol V. Stern

Bachelors’ Theses

The application of the x-ray as a means of diagnosis or pathological conditions about the teeth and jaws is a method that has achieved a position or the utmost importance in recent years. Its value has long been recognized by the surgeon in the diagnosis of grosser surgical lesions of the maxillary bones, such as fractures, tumors, impacted teeth and the like. Until recent, however, the dentist in general practice rarely found it necessary to resort to investigation by means of the x-ray. At the present time, to those who are familiar with its advantages, the constant employment of this …

The Modern Trend Of Prosthetics, Arlo M. Rahrig

Bachelors’ Theses

This is a short discussion on the technique of denture construction which is being employed by the most prominent and successful prosthetists of today. Since it is annoying to have a technical investigation misinterpreted because of lack of uniformly applied terms, there is a necessity to annex concise definitions to the technique. Thus a strenuous effort will be made to closely adhere to the original meaning of standard terms and to modify these or add to them as little as possible when they are comprehensive. In the past it was customary to include into an articulator technique many bombastic theories …

Swine Sanitation, L. Van Es

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars

From the very beginning of Nebraska's agricultural development its farmers have recognized that the production of swine must of necessity accompany the growing of corn. The latter, one of the state's most important staples, cannot be marketed in a more economical manner than after having been transformed into pork, bacon, and lard. As a result the state has for many years maintained a rather dense swine population mainly divided into large herds kept on relatively small areas of land. This density of population, as well as certain practices in management and selective breeding, has brought about conditions favorable for the …

Medicine Man In Texas, George Plunkett Red

Texas Medical History E-Books

The author George (Georgia?) Plunkett Red was the wife of Samuel Clark Red (1861-1940). Dr. Red was the son of Texas pioneer physician Dr. George Clark Red. Dr. Samuel Clark Red was “the county physician of Harris County, one of the organizers of the Harris County Medical Society, a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and president of the Texas Medical Association.”

Not much is known about the author, but given her husband’s position and family history, it can be surmised that she was interested in history and had access to some of the children of other pioneer medical …

On The Nature And Cause Of "The Walking Disease" Of Northwestern Nebraska (Necrobiosis Et Cirrhosis Hepatis Enzootica), L. Van Es, L. R. Cantwell, H. M. Martin, J. Kramer

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

The "walking disease" of Northwestern Nebraska is essentially an enzootic necrobiosis and cirrhosis of the liver due to a toxic agent and does not materially differ from similar disorders occurring in other regions or countries. The disease affects horses and cattle but it is most commonly encountered in the former. The disease in all its clinical and pathological manifestations may be reproduced with the utmost fidelity by the feeding with plants of Senecio riddellii.
