Argenis FerrebusMr. RottenbergCOMP 200031 January 2018Writing ExerciseLocating a Community ArtifactArtifact: Air-Driven High-Speed Dental HandpieceDescription and AnalysisAssumptions/Existing KnowledgeI am familiar the air-driven dental handpiece to some extent. I have seen it every time I have gone to the dental office. I have had this artifact used on me but I’ve never used it myself. Every time an air-driven handpiece is used on me, I feel a very uncomfortable sensation in my tooth. This artifact reminds me of a drill and is also known as a dental drill. Dentist uses this “drill” in order to remove cavities, tooth decay, and plaques. I personally believe the people who invented the air-driven dental handpiece created it in order to remove

Alex Perez commented for a follow up on a question that Media uses conventional wisdom to manipulate what we listen to or care about by using wording, which is much like Listerine in the 1920’s which was mentioned in the chapter. They made ads as a solution for “chronic halitosis”—a then obscure medical term for bad breath because they weren’t much of a success beforehand. Listerine’s new ads featured young women and men, eager for marriage but turned off by their rotten breath. Which the Company's revenue increased due to their product being sold. Or the Atlanta police who to seem less violent for the upcoming olympics that were being hosted there, So each year thousands of crime reports were either downgraded from violent to nonviolent or

Amalgam dental restorations which are also known as silver fillings are the number one choice for restoring teeth. These silver fillings have been used for over a hundred years to fill in cavities where there has been tooth decay. The question many have is “what is dental amalgam?” Dental amalgam is a mixture of materials containing powdered alloy, metals and mercury. There have been some concerns, however about the safety of this mercury containing filling material. “Amalgam is in the same safety class as gold and composite fillings” (FDA) and does not pose the safety concerns as once thought. Compared to other dental materials, such as composite and glass ionomer, amalgam is the “most studied and tested.” (NCAHF) Many

The hypothesis for this experiment would be, if the type of whitening product is altered, will the whiteness of teeth increase? The idea of this experiment was to see what types or products or methods help to whiten teeth better and faster than others.This science fair project is interesting to me because my teeth are never white. I was curious as to which methods of cleaning would succeed in brightening teeth faster because I may consider the options if I were to use a different whitening product or method. What I hope to achieve through this project is to put the information out there about how teeth can be whitened so somebody in need can stumble upon it. The definition of whiten is to make or become white. If teeth are not whitening, teeth

Although oral problems have been around since the “beginning of mankind” (SB 1), the work in the dental field is still changing today. Efforts of treating tooth decay date back to 2700 B.C in Egypt and ancient China. Archaeologists examined the jaws of skulls only

Is it silver filling or dental amalgam? Most people call it silver fillings, while the dentist calls it dental amalgam. "Dental amalgam was developed in France in the 1800's" (Gladwin & Bagby, 2013). In 1833, dental amalgam was introduced to the United States, which started the controversy immediately (Gladwin & Bagby, 2013). People went back and forth debating whether or not dental amalgam was safe or not. Many people do not realize that dental amalgam has been used for over 150 years and is one of the oldest materials in the oral health care ("Dental Amalgam", 1993). Dental amalgam contains a mixture of metals such as silver, which is the largest of filling and adds great strength to the amalgam, tin and copper, which also contribute to strengthening the compound, as well as mercury, which makes these components into a hard, stable, and safe substance that in amounts of up to 50 percent by weight(ADA.org, 2009).

Orthodontic treatment dates all the way back to the Egyptian era. For centuries people all over have been fixed on the idea of straight teeth. Different cultures including Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, and Early France had different ways of straightening their teeth. Various people, mostly scientists and philosophers, in history also made positive impacts in the orthodontic field. Today’s current orthodontic technology allows us to straighten our teeth without the hassle of wire and metal braces, we use visibly clear retainers.

When you are suffering from teeth that are discolored, it can have an impact on your smile, laugh, and social interactions. If you are wondering if there is a natural way to whiten your teeth, you should be aware of these three whiteners.

Dentistry has a long and complex history, with the earliest evidence of it being performed being dated back to 7000 B.C. from the Indus River Valley Civilization. Later, an ancient Sumerian text mentioned “tooth worms” around 5000 B.C., and from 2900 - 2700 B.C,Egyptians began drilling teeth to drain abscesses. Etruscan and Greek physicians further progressed dentistry by pioneering dental prosthetics and writing texts that contained information about dentistry. The Roman Empire later conquered the Etruscans and absorbed some of their culture, including dentistry. In fact, the Roman medical writer Celsus wrote on many topics pertaining to dentistry. In Asia, although the Chinese did use silver amalgam fillings as early as 200 B.C., a proclamation from the Qu’ran that prohibited body mutilation prevented the advancement of dental surgery for many years. The first book to focus solely on dentistry, Little Medicinal Book for All Kinds of Diseases and Infirmities of the Teeth by Artzney Buchlein was published in Germany in 1530. Known European dental achievements were mostly French and English in the 16th and 17th century, with James Hunter, an English surgeon, pioneering the idea of teeth transplant. When the English began settling the United States, many of them brought along their dental practices. Notable American dentists during the colonial period include Isaac and John Greenwood and Paul Revere. In the 19th century, America was a hotbed for dentistry related

The market for sensitivity toothpaste is not completely tapped by the producers of sensitivity toothpaste. In urban market (Tier 1 & 2) have a higher awareness of tooth sensitivity issue and account for about 80% according to dentists. Of those 80% not everyone uses sensitive toothpaste. Also, the 20% of those not aware are also a potential target for future customers. Which provides for a credible market in the urban cities for CP to target.

Toothpaste - an essential part of everyone’s life. You use it daily and probably take it for granted. Sure, it helps your teeth stay clean and bright, but you would never think that it would affect your life in any other way or particularly change your destiny. You may be right, but Bill Sackter, the individual the exemplary movie Bill is based on, may disagree with you.

The focus of this experiment was to test two different types of toothpaste and their ability to inhibit growth of two different types of bacteria. Both toothpastes have the same active ingredients but both have some similar and some dissimilar inactive ingredients. The active ingredient in both Crest Deep Clean Complete and Tom’s Whole Care is 0.24% sodium fluoride. In 1940 Procter & Gamble the founders of Crest toothpaste had to come up with a plan to reduce the number of Americans with tooth decay. So they began to research beneficial ingredients to add to their toothpaste. In the 1940s, Americans were estimated to have over 700 million cavities a year, making dental disease one of the most prevalent of U.S. health problems (Procter &
