Mandibular Nerve Regeneration Through Solid And Canalized Bone And Plaster Grafts, Lawrence D. Day
Mandibular Nerve Regeneration Through Solid And Canalized Bone And Plaster Grafts, Lawrence D. Day
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Utilizing an extra-oral approach and sterile technique, left mandibular ostectomy was performed on five miniature pigs. The segment removed was 3 cm long and included the inferior border, mandibular canal and, in some cases, apices of a molar tooth.
Bone and plaster grafts (one solid and one canalized of each) were used to fill these defects. The fifth was left with no graft.
The objective was to learn the effect of each of these procedures on regeneration of the mandibular nerve across the defect. It was hypothesized that canals through the grafts would facilitate regeneration.
X-rays were taken periodically. The …

A Survey Of The Types Of Counseling Or Testing Given Potential Athletes At The Junior High School Level In Terms Of College Preparatory Work In Fifteen Schools In Virginia, Lewis Smith, Jr.
All Theses
INTRODUCTION
In recent years, educators have become concerned about athletes not being able to complete their college work.
Educators have wondered if the guidance and counseling services in the schools have become aware of this and are doing something to help these potential athletes who might continue their education after finishing their junior and senior high school work. These and countless other questions remain unanswered. All of these things have left questions in the minds of educators about what should be done to improve the academic standards of the athlete. The curricula is being broadened each year to meet the …

Analgesic Effectiveness As Measured By A New Algesiometer, J. Raymond Wahlen
Analgesic Effectiveness As Measured By A New Algesiometer, J. Raymond Wahlen
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A method of measuring the effectiveness of analgesics using a new instrument, known as the Algesiometer,* is described. The instrument, utilizing an electrical stimulus, produced an experimental pain when attached to the skin over the mid shaft of the tibia. The patient, who was experiencing a pathological pain, gradually increased the experimental stimulus, by turning a control rheostat, until it was equal in intensity to the pathological, or clinical, pain. The intensity of the stimulus was calculated in milliwatts and consisted of a rectangular wave pulsating direct current of approximately one millisecond duration and an interval of nineteen milliseconds.

Correlation Of The Actual Position Of The Root Canal Filling In Human Teeth To Its Apparent Location On The Radiograph, Dominic J. Niccoli
Correlation Of The Actual Position Of The Root Canal Filling In Human Teeth To Its Apparent Location On The Radiograph, Dominic J. Niccoli
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Human teeth mounted in individual plaster blocks were studied to determine the actual location of the root canal filling when it appears to be exactly at the radiographic apex. The original sample consisted of 109 teeth treated during endodontic technique class by junior dental students at Loma Linda University. In the most ideal manner possible, these teeth were radiographed on a flat surface with the x-ray tube perpendicular to the film and blocked tooth.
Five dentists examined the radiographs, and each one independently listed the canals he judged filled exactly to the radiographic apex. The investigator sorted out the choices …
The Effect Of Removing The Crevicular Epithelium Upon Canine Tooth Replantation, Leon A. Leonard
The Effect Of Removing The Crevicular Epithelium Upon Canine Tooth Replantation, Leon A. Leonard
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The nature of epithelium and the remarkable facility with which it aggressively covers granulation tissue, suggests that removal of the sulcular epithelium surrounding the extraction wound of a tooth to be replanted could promote reattachment of the periodontal tissues at a more nearly ideal coronal level. To investigate this hypothesis twenty mature teeth in five mongrel dogs were experimentally replanted. One half of them were replanted in alveoli around which the crevicular epithelium had been removed, the remaining teeth without creviculoectomy acting as controls. Animals were euthanized at one, two, three, five, and sixteen weeks. After clinical evaluation of the …

A Cephalometric, Anatomic And Histologic Investigation Of The Effects Resulting From A Heavy Interrupted Orthopedic Force To The Maxilla Of The Macaca Mulatta Monkey, Roger Wayne Triftshauser
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine changes that occur in the craniofacial complex, when a heavy interrupted orthopedic force is employed to retract the maxilla in the post puberal rhesus monkey. Cephalometric, histologic and anatomic examinations were utilized to substantiate the findings.
Four female rhesus monkeys were used for experimentation. Two were experimental animals and the other two controls. Cervical retraction with headgear was applied over a period of 313 days and 159 days to the two experimental animals. Forces not exceeding 2.5 lbs. were found most effective.
The findings were as follows:-

Histopathological Response Of The Human Tooth To An Intrapulpal Pin Implantation, Raymond W. Dolph
Histopathological Response Of The Human Tooth To An Intrapulpal Pin Implantation, Raymond W. Dolph
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This investigation was designed to serve as a research project directed toward the study of histopathological response of human teeth to the intentional implantation of threaded, stainless steel, gold plated pins into the vital pulp.
Pins of several types are currently used in several aspects of restorative and periodontal dentistry. In some cases there may be unintentional perforation of the dental pulp. In other cases it may be advantageous to purposely perforate the pulp for added retention. The purpose of this research is to help determine the reaction, possibilities, and prognosis of such technique.
Human teeth selected for experimental and …

Evaluation Of The Role Of Neighborhood Health Coordinators In A Comprehensive Neighborhood Health Services Project, Sharron Faye Easley, John Collins Flanagan, Janet Fredricksen, Linda Janice Johnson, Beatrice Hays Young
Dissertations and Theses
This study evaluates the role of the Neighborhood Health Coordinators (NHC's) within Kaiser Foundation's Comprehensive Neighborhood Health Services (CNHS) Project. This project was established in September 1967, under the provisions of the 1966 amendments to the Economic Opportunity Act, to provide and make readily available comprehensive medical care to low-income persons. In compliance with the stipulations of this Act, persons who reside in target areas, designated as depressed neighborhoods, were hired to serve as NHC's. These indigenous non-professionals serve as links or "gatekeepers" between the low-income persons enrolled in this program, and the Kaiser medical care facilities which include the …

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
In the first chapter of the Book of Esther, we are told of an exhibition created by King Ahasuerus. In the third year of his reign he staged a huge fair to display "the riches of his glorious Kingdom and the honor of his excellent Majesty." This event was a forerunner of today's world fair. It lasted "many days, even an hundred and fourscore days." Interestingly enough, that span equals exactly a current world's fair season.

A Survey Of Projects Attempting To Provide Experimental Enrichment To Improve Improvement In Reading, Adell H. Thurman
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
In this complex modern world, reading is a medium of communication and a tool of learning that is an indispensable function in society (Tinker and McCullough, 1962) .
For many years the issues of reading disability were argued in terms of genetic as compared to environmental factors . In the light of research it is now known that the home produces a powerful impact upon the child's ability to learn and that social and cultural disadvantages can depress academic ability.
Over the years educators have been aware of the importance that experience plays in the child's preparation for reading. Hilliard …
