Dental anatomy

Alveolar Ridge Resorption: Alveolar bone resorption is a normal physiologic response following teeth extraction. The causes of alveolar bone volume loss can occur before dental extraction due to periodontal disease, periapical pathology and trauma to the teeth and bone. (SchroppL et al.2003) (1, 2). Additionally, the traumatic removal of teeth can cause bone loss and must be prevented (1,3). Finally, the alveolar bone suffers atrophy after tooth extraction, which has been well documented (1, 4, 5). The bundle bone at the site obviously will lose its function and disappear (Botticelli et al. 2004, Arau ´jo&Lindhe 2005, Arau ´jo et al. 2008)(10,16).Thus, the healing process of post-extraction sites, including contour alterations caused by bone resorption and remodelling is essential for obtaining functional and esthetically satisfactory prosthetic reconstructions.(1,3) The resorption and remodeling of the alveolar ridge after tooth removal is a natural healing phenomenon, which is physiologically undesirable and possibly inevitable and can negatively impact…

It takes many years of school and hard work to become a neurosurgeon. Minimum requirements to get a job as a neurosurgeon include four years of undergraduate school, four years of medical school, and three to eight years of internships and residency (okcareerguide). Even after all of the schooling, it is still difficult to become a neurosurgeon. A minimum entry for medical school is three years of college and most people entering already have at least a bachelor’s degree and many have more…

medicine as a career in my life. One unique thing about medical profession is, we can help to ease the person’s physical sufferings and can bring back smile on his/her face, and I feel it is very rewarding for us. Anatomy was my beloved subject in Medical school, and I always excelled in it. I enjoy the relationship of various structures to each other and cross-sectional anatomy. In the Medical school, my continued diligence granted me with distinction and first rank in the University in…

What does the world knows about the medical field? There’s so much to learn and it’s constantly changing. Here going to talk about one section of the medical field: LPN. Which stands for Licensed Practical Nurse. Going to go over how to pay when in college, how to become an LPN, the salary and the outlook, and finally what is done on the job. There are a few different ways to pay for school. The first way one can pay, is using cold hard cash. Cash doesn't have any interest on it and no…

All medical professionals face the same initial challenge―school. While some medical professions require a minimum of a high school degree and a year of training, such as personal care aids, the majority of aspiring medical students must study for at least four years before training. Physicians, such as surgeons and anesthesiologists, must study at a medical school and go through residency, where one practices medicine upon supervision. Likewise, medical professionals must become board certified…

There are many to choose from but I also must have the right prerequisites to get accepted into these programs. Some classes that are needed are like chemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology and many more. In addition to classes I need experience working with patients, many schools require a minimum of 1000 hours of direct patient care. Another prerequisite is shadowing a Physician’s Assistant, this allows the schools to see that you are very interested in becoming a PA and already…

While studying hard and doing all of the assignments may be sufficient to succeed at undergraduate college, successfully completing medicine requires a great deal. “Applicants and students will be judged not only on their scholastic achievement and abilities, but also on their intellectual, physical, emotional and behavioral capacities to meet the essential requirements of the school’s curriculum.” Today’s medical students are tomorrow’s physicians who will have the lives of many people one…

becoming a doctor.

Courses differ depending on the medical school that you attend. Harvard Medical school, one of the most well known and prestigious medical schools, give a basic guideline of what most medical students will take for…

Medical Science has allowed me to learn a variety of new things that I had never even heard of before or done before like immunohistochemistry, solving case studies, and T1/T2 translational research. Immunohistochemistry was really interesting and complex. At first, I overlooked it because I thought it was my over my head and not applicable to me at the moment. Then, over time I noticed that we talked about it several class periods, so clearly it had some significance to us currently. I was…

ON PUFFINS AND THEIR OPTIMIZATION FOR DUAL LOCOMOTION BY B. SIDELL ABSTRACT -- Puffins, one of the few wing-propelled diving birds, are specialized into a specific niche. By balancing the optimization of their bodies for locomotion between the two media of air and sea water created a unique anatomy for a bird. The evolution of Auks, which includes the puffin, shows a mixture of characteristics similar to those of the ultimate diving bird, the penguin, and the large-winged flyers, such as the…
