Celluloid And Hecolite Dentures, Gilbert Clair Wildman Jun 1929

Celluloid And Hecolite Dentures, Gilbert Clair Wildman

Bachelors’ Theses

Celluloid gives the most natural appearance of all the plastic vegetable bases used in making dentures. It closely resembles porcelain in the translucent live-tissue color of the mucous membrane and gums. In some cases, it proves very satisfactory while it discolors and quickly disintegrates in some mouths. Vulcanite is usually more durable. The value of celluloid depends upon the care given it by the possessor and the manipulation of the material while under construction.

Anesthesia Advancement Since Nineteen Hundred, Glenn Prescott Williams

Bachelors’ Theses

The greatest reason for using an anesthetic is to reduce pain for the patient. If we can do an operation without pain we are doing a great beneficial service to humanity.

In some cases it is best not to give an anesthetic as in case of cavity preparation which is very near the pulp. The pulp may be permanently injured by ever instrumentation.

Some Of The Interesting Facts In The Evolution Of The Treatment Of Pyorrhea Alveolaris, Irving Bernard Paul

Bachelors’ Theses

In attempting to write a paper on any topic relative to dentistry a student is handicapped in that none of his statements are based upon actual practical experience. Necessarily all the information gathered must come from the literature on the subject that in its makeup is not too technical. Essentially, then, this thesis will be a restating of the writings of those investigators who presented their findings in the most simplified manner and to the mind of the student arrived at the most logical conclusions of their findings. It will be the author's attempt to so make use of the …

The Use Of The Chemico-Pathology Laboratory In The Dental Clinic, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher Jan 1928

The Use Of The Chemico-Pathology Laboratory In The Dental Clinic, Matilda Mary Steinbrecher

Bachelors’ Theses

The reason why the practice of dentistry is sometimes criticized to-day is because it was separated from the practice of medicine at a time when mouth disorder as a cause of systemic disease was not recognized, and mechanical restoration of teeth was made the foundation of dentistry. The keynote in judging a man's ability was by the expertness of his mechanical skill. This attitude toward dentistry, not only by the medical men but by the laity as well, has been a regrettable weakness in the dental profession. The dentist's work was regarded as entirely mechanical and for the purpose of …
