In the articles “The Totally Gruesome, Totally Fascinating History of teeth” and “Where are all the Dentists?” both by Kristin lewis, it talks about how there are lots of challenges that people faced with dentistry over time. There are lots of small problems, but there are also lots of big problems, one that it talks about in the article is that back in the day, before we had good dental work, people would get there teeth pulled without anesthetics. In the article it says ”Tough cowboys of the American West would weep openly as their diseased teeth were yanked out with pliers--often with little more than a few gulps of whiskey to dull the searing pain,” (Lewis 14). This shows that people back in the day were willing to get there teeth pulled and go through the pain so they don't get an infection.…
The episode I watched involving misinterpretations of forensic science was CSI: Bite Me. It is about a husband who finds his wife, Becky Lester dead on their stair case. The husband immediately calls 911, needing paramedics only to find out it was a criminal case. Once investigators arrive the scene is a mess from the paramedics tracking her blood all over the house, making it hard to identify if the perpetrators prints where present. The team didn’t waste any time and began to examining her body’s position and blood splatter to see if it was possible she fell down the stairs. Investigators soon ruled it out due to her position and the size of the blood splatter was too large for a fall (2 meters) and more in line with a sharp object. Next…
Abolqasem Ferdowsi’s In the Dragon’s Claws: The Story of Rostam & Esfandiyar from the Persian Book of Kings, is a story that comes from the Shahnameh, a book containing many different narratives detailing Iranian history and mythology. The story In the Dragon’s Claws presents two heroes of Iran, Rostam and Esfandiyār, who are victims of fate. The story traces the power struggle between Rostam and Esfandiyār, as well as the power struggle between Esfandiyār and his father Goshtāsp, the Shah of Iran. While many themes are at work in this story, perhaps the most important theme observed is the intervention of fate and the role of the divine in the lives of the characters. The Iranians believed that “God prefers Iran to other nations and sustains…
When it comes to narrowing down end-of-the-year favorites, increasingly the only criteria that makes sense to me is, “How profoundly did this change the way I thought about its subject?” And reading this essay on class and poverty and dental care felt like following Sarah Smarsh around as she flipped on light switch after light switch, illuminating not only dark rooms I’d never thought to enter before, but also spaces I thought I knew well but which turned out to be all shadowed corners. It works so well, I think, because Smarsh seems to have sensed that this couldn’t just be a personal essay or a reported story or a piece of pop-culture criticism—to talk about Pennsatucky’s teeth is to talk about her grandmother’s teeth is to talk about her…
The paternalistic myth was the South's conception of the white prosperous male as a provider, protector, and fair leader to those of supposed lesser competence in the South. Slaves were the main subject purportedly needing guidance from the benevolent father figures. William Wells Brown, in “This Cargo Of Human Flesh,” offers insightful detail into what it felt like to be under the rule of the paternalistic leaders if you happened to be an individual with little or no power in society. Brown, speaking about one of the masters he was sent to work for, says he “was very abusive, not only to the servants, but to his wife also.” The image of the caring, chivalrous leader is dispelled countless times in Brown's narrative. In particular Brown's account…

Meanwhile this can be followed by the idea of hope for the world that lies within Grendel. This hope provides evidence for Grendel’s lack of damnable intentions. This is demonstrated during his time spent with the dragon, pages fifty-seven through seventy-four. The dragon is largely selfish and nihilistic, however Grendel refuses to believe the negativity presented by the dragon. On page seventy, one may read the dragon speaking of all of the world being consigned to oblivion. That is, he states that eventually all current occurrences will be meaningless. “You don't know that!” Grendel simply debates. Additionally, page seventy-one the dragon is speaks of the little to no effect that even an apocalyptic age would have on the world over time.…
Every character and their relationships between them in “Tooth and Claw” by T. Coraghessan Boyle, disguise themselves in many ways, both consciously and unconsciously, all for different purposes. The author introduces us to four major characters in this story that all interact with each other and have some sort of mask over themselves hiding their true identities and motives.…
Forensic science is the uses scientific knowledge to solve legal and criminal investigations by collecting evidence from the crime scene. There are two main parameters that can be used to identify the individual in this case, namely forensic odontology and forensic anthropology. Forensic anthropology identifies human remains especially bones as they could locate and recover suspicious remains to help determine the age, sex, ancestry, stature and features of a decedent from the skeleton. For example, the sex of a person can be determined by studying the base of the skull, the forehead and the jaw. One very efficient method is facial reconstruction. As soon as information such as the race, age and gender are obtained by anthropologists, the artist glues pieces of plastic to the skull at 18-26 key points by using tissue thickness sample charts to identify the victim from the face.…
When walking around the University of Maryland, you’ll see posters plastered across walls, on the outside of buildings, on bus stops, the buses themselves, and even dumpsters reminding each of us to be fearless. At the University of Maryland, being fearless is not just a suggestion, it is an expectation. Most people just walk by these messages and don’t really understand what being fearless really means. It’s more than being bold, courageous, and brave. It’s about daring to try something new, challenging yourself to be a better you, taking risks with your ideas and plans, and to me, it mean inspiring others to pursue something that was once unimaginable to them. With this mentality, that I carried myself through my four years here. In all of the organizations I was a part of, I embraced change and innovation in my leadership positions, and most importantly, became the person I am today.…
Dental caries (tooth decay) is the destruction of the outer surface of a tooth. Decay results from the action of numerous bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, which inhabit plaque, formed by colonies of bacteria. The plaque sticks to tooth enamel and metabolizes carbohydrates from food to produce lactic acid. The lactic acid, if left in contact with the teeth for a sustained period of time, causes the demineralization of the teeth. Over time, the reduction of the mineral content in the teeth may lead to the formation of a cavity.…
We heard of a theory from a family dentist that your bite could affect your physical performance. We looked more into this theory, got more information and decided to test it out. We came up with the hypothesis that if you have a less than perfect bite, you will not perform as effectively while doing physical activity. We hoped to see if our hypothesis was correct.…
