Especial attention is directed to the results of these experiments.

Modern Non-Metallic Denture Base Materials, Melvin E. Goldman

Bachelors’ Theses

Prosthetic dentistry, as far back as the archeologists have traced, had its beginning among the ancient Egyptians and Phoenicians. The ruins of the Eutruscan civilization, a civilization expert in gold working, disclosed several comparatively ingenious devices for the replacement of lost natural teeth with artificial ones. This, however, is ancient history and the complexity of the subject makes it necessary that we confine ourselves to modern prosthesis.

Endocrinodontia, John Milton Goldberg

Bachelors’ Theses

Endocrinology is the science dealing with the internal secretions and their physiological and pathological relations. The internal secretions are elaborated from their respective glands into the blood or lymph stream without a duct, and are thus called endocrine or ductless glands. The internal secretions or hormones are consequently never seen directly, thus, only their effects can be studied. The endocrine glands have the responsibility of coordinating the speed with which every cell in the body performs its duty. They are able to sense any change of environment and they react immediately by sending out hormones to that organ which require …

A Study Of The Rise In Temperature Within The Pulp Chamber When Using The Various Revolving Instruments To Cut Tooth Structure, Gaspare Castellano

Bachelors’ Theses

The possibility of harming the dental pulp by the speedy preparation of teeth for extensive reconstruction, such as the placing of porcelain jacket crown or gold crown, has often been brought to the attention of the dental profession.

Immediate Denture Service, Nathan Allen Shapiro

Bachelors’ Theses

Immediate full denture service in the sense here considered, that is, in the meaning generally applied to it in the dental literature, consists of constructing one or both artificial full dentures before the natural teeth are removed and preparing the mouth surgically so that one or both dentures can be inserted at the same sitting that the teeth are extracted. The patient is spared the embarrassement always associated with an edentulous period. He is never seen without teeth. If the work is skillfully done, few people need know that the natural teeth have been lost. This service expresses the highest …

Status Of Dentistry In Year 1890, Harry James Pearsall

Bachelors’ Theses

It is in little things that we show our real character; so it is in the minuteness of our manipulations as dentists that we leave our marks for our good or bad workmanship. To the casual observer, our general character may be accepted as far above the average; but many of us are so loose in little things, so careless and uncultured in our everyday language, tastes, and mannerisms, if not really repulsive in many things observable to our intimate friends and patrons, that, if it were not for their charity, we should repel them. And so in our dental …

Calcium Metabolism And Teeth, Adam Victor Walmus

Bachelors’ Theses

The development of teeth occurs with the rest of the body and not as a separate unit. The calcium which the teeth or bones receive is present in food in both organic and inorganic form. In all probability, the organic must be converted to the inorganic form in the alimentary tract prior to being absorbed in the upper regions of the small intestine.

Contributions Of Dr. Greene Vardiman Black To Advancement Of Dentistry, Morton Fuchs

At the age of seventeen, he began his studies which culminated in obtaining the following degrees: Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Missouri Dental College in 1877; Doctor of Medicine from the Chicago Medical College in 1884; Doctor of Science from the Illinois College in 1892; and Doctor of Letters and Law from Northwestern University in 1898. His love for mechanics caused him to devote his talents to the study of dentistry. At that time the profession …

Factors Concerned In The Etiology Of Malocclusions And Irregularities Of The Jaws, Vincent Stile

Bachelors’ Theses

Where, when and. how malocclusions started, we do not know, but evidence establishes the fact that from time immemorial animals as well as every race of mankind have been afflicted with malocclusions. Knowledge of the cause, treatment, and prevention of malocclusions and caries have been the chief interest of dental science. Far more advancement has been made and far simpler is the study of dental caries than that of irregularities of the teeth and jaws. Irregularities of the positions of the teeth and the resulting malocclusions, as in every pathological condition, is essentially a problem of growth and development and …

The Spinal Nerves And Spinal Cord Of The Frog, Laverne A. Penn

Bachelors’ Theses

The common grass frog, Rana pipiens as wall as the bull frog, Rana catesbiana have served during many decades as material from which both the student of zoology and the investigator in biological problems have gathered valuable information about the anatomy and physiology of the common systems. Among these systems the central, peripheral, and sympathetic nervous system plays a coordinating role, because of the ramifying nature of its organization. It is the purpose of this thesis to investigate the gross and histological structure of these branches known as spinal nerves. When one inspects the literature on the nervous system of …

The Muscles Of The Forelimb Of Canis Familiaris, Charles G. Wilber

Bachelors’ Theses

In the study of the anatomy of the vertebrates, there has been much work done and a large number of the forms have been studied with great thoroughness. Among the domesticated animals this is particularly true. The students of the veterinary sciences have given us a deep insight into the structure and function of the mammalian body. This is most certainly true in the case of the dog. The species Canis familiaris has been used for many years in the studies of physiology and surgery. However, it is also true that a plenitude of literature relative to the anatomy of …

The Lungs And Respiration In The Frog, Peter P. Strassburg

Bachelors’ Theses

In a wide sense, respiration is sometimes defined as the gaseous exchange constantly taking place between an organism and its environment. Essentially it is concerned with the intake of oxygen and the output of carbon dioxide but it also includes any other gas exchange that might occur. Small organisms take oxygen directly from the air or from the watery medium surrounding them into all parts of their structures. They also give off carbon dioxide from all their parts directly into the surrounding medium. They can do this successfully because they are small enough to have every cell in direct or …

Some Studies Of The Cytology Of Cancer, Arthur O. Christiansen

Bachelors’ Theses

The microscopy of the malignant cell has received the attention of large numbers of investigators, who have sought some definite morphological criterion of malignancy. The early literature of cancer research contains descriptions of abnormal cell structures and cytological processes which have been regarded as distinctive of cancerous growth. Subsequent investigations, however, have failed to establish any precise cytological diagnostic characteristic of cancer. The cells of new growths however, present a wide range of pathological variations. of particular interest from the point of view of cellular pathology, by which in some oases have been erroneously interpreted, and have consequently led to …

History Of Anesthesia, O. A. Pennisi

Bachelors’ Theses

Anesthesia is a condition of insensibility to pain, either in part, or in whole. It may be divided into two classes: natural and artificial. The type which has been sought through the ages is the artificial anesthesia which could dull man’s sensibility to physical pain while the surgeon worked his painful but corrective arts upon the body.

Historical Background Of Radiography And Its Present Status In Dentistry, Joseph H. Nozick

Bachelors’ Theses

The X-ray was discovered in 1895 by William Roentgen, Professor of Physics, at the Royal University of Wiirzburg, in Germany. This discovery was received by the world with incredulity and amazement. A new ray had been discovered by means of which it was possible to look through opaque substances.

History Of Anaesthesia, Pedro Crisafi

Bachelors’ Theses

"And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.” Thus is described the first case of anesthesia on record. It is certain that attempts to relieve the pain of surgical procedures extend back to remote times. The ancient Assyrians before performing the operation of circumcision employed digital compression of the carotid arteries to produce insensibility and in this connection curiously enough, the literal translation of the Greek and Russian terms for carotid is “The Artery of Sleep.” The ancient Egyptians …

Kidney Of The Frog, Felix Taubman

Bachelors’ Theses

The frog has been used exclusively in both high school and college as the main source of experimental biological and zoological studies. Because it is so easily obtained and so finely adapted to our purposes, we chose it as the specimen upon which to do our thesis work. Much has been done experimentally on the kidneys with the frog. The purpose of this thesis is to present a general view of the external and microscopic anatomy of the frog kidney and with this as a groundwork to present the problems of secretion; whether secretion is carried on by the renal …

Commercial Laboratories From The Professional Point Of View, Victor I. Teltsch

Bachelors’ Theses

Many of the dentists who practiced seventy years ago showed great skill in the laboratory phases of prosthetic dentistry. All laboratory details and procedures of denture construction, including preparation of various gold alloys, plaster of Paris, making of artificial teeth, compounding of rubber, and numerous other processes, were then considered routine duties in the practice of dentistry. At that time, crown and bridgework was another branch of the profession in which the dentist manifested his artistic and mechanical ingenuity. Elaborate bridgework requiring complex planning and preparation was in great demand. Many practitioners used their own individual designs and laboratory methods …

Electrogalvanic Phenomena Of Dental Importance, Morris Schwartz

Bachelors’ Theses

The fact that dissimilar metallic restorations in the same mouth gives rise to electrogalvanic symptoms has been recognized for over one hundred years. Nineteenth century and early twentieth century accounts describe these phenomena more or less at length. However, it was not until the last decade that some attempt was made to correlate these electric phenomena with oral lesions such as leukoplakia, buccal ulcer and even carcinoma.

The Quantitative Determination Of Prothrombin And The Criteria For Determining What Kind Of Curve Will Best Fit From The Data Obtained, Madeline Louise Leu

Ulceromembraneous Stomatitis, Emil Cerrato

Bachelors’ Theses

Recognizing the fact that considerable data has been recorded and still more work actually has been accomplished in the alleviation of the pain and suffering incident to the infection of Vincent, yet, from the comparative standpoint with what is known of other pathological conditions, this disease does not seem to receive the attention which it demands. With the exception of a numbered few, none of the more modern scientific works have any lengthy discussion in reference to this disease.

A Study Of The Wahl Peptase Method, Francis C. Cretsinger

Bachelors’ Theses

An interest was first aroused in this problem by Mr. Lawrence Ehrnst of the Froedtert Malting Company who has been interested for some time in devising a method for determining the peptic power of malt. Through the cooperation of Dr. J. R. Koch, the author's major professor, a study of the Wahl Peptase Test was made possible.

Anyone who attempts the study of enzymes is confronted with the various factors inhibiting enzyme action. Also, the seemingly contradictory results of different investigators is somewhat confusing. This may be attributed to the difficulty of repeating identical experimental conditions, for enzymes are very …

Preparation Of A Clear, Light Pharmaceutical Solution Of Sodium Morrhuate, George H. Becker

Bachelors’ Theses

Treatment of varicose veins by the injection method has resulted in diminution of prolonged suffering by many patients. The ideal solution is one that ill cause no sloughing of the tissues immediately surrounding the vein; nontoxic in the amounts used; effective; not too painful and not capable of reducing drug hypersensitivity. Many
drugs have been tried with varying efficacy. Among the more important are, dextrose and sodium chloride mixture, quinine, quine urea hydrochloride, quinine dihydrochloride, quinine and urethane, 30 to 40% sodium salicylate, 20% sodium chloride, and sodium morrhuate. A sclerosing agent, to be most efficient; must destroy the endothelium …

The Relation Of Medical Treatment To Speech Defects, Agnes Rosemary Lewnik

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this thesis is to test the historical and present day methods to determine the place of medical treatment in the field of speech correction. First, we can view the field of history to determine what conditions of mind and body were considered as defects of speech; and secondly, what treatment was offered as a method of cure. We pan again consider the organs of speech and notice the diseases involving such organs. We then can look to the methods in the field and determine if medical treatment is or is not a required procedure.

The Anatomy Of The Oyster, M.J. Rohlinger

Bachelors’ Theses

The phylum Mollusca manifests the following characteristics: bilateral symmetry; three primary germ layers; free-living and sessile; marine and fresh-water; a shell modified to form either a bivalve or a univalve which gives an appearance of segmentation due to rings of growth or arrangement of certain parts of the shell as is seen in the class Amphineura, this is only apparent metamerism because the Mollusca are considered to be unsegmented animals; a coelom poorly developed; a foot; a mantle cavity; well developed digestive, circulatory, excretory, and reproductive systems. When one inspects a Chiton, an oyster, a snail, an octopus, or a …
