Dentistry
In recent years, the investment individuals must put into an education has been called into question for a number of professions, given the increasing cost of graduate school. The average debt of dental school students upon graduation is $221,173, according to the ADEA. However, the job prospects for dentists in the U.S. are growing at a rate faster than average for other occupations, at a projected rate of 20-21%, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (Dentists, 2013, BLS). This suggests that dentistry can be a potentially lucrative and promising profession for the right candidates.
This proposed study will determine critical success factors for success in the field of dentistry. Given that dentists have to incur a high level of graduate school debt but face bright prospects in terms of their potential career success, determining the critical personal success factors in the profession is vitally important. Character traits, demonstrated…...

Executive Summary
2:30 Dental is a new dental office in Miami, FL, and will be started by a young dentist out of school, who will purchase an existing dental practice from a retiring dentist. This purchase will essentially allow the practice to have an existing customer base. Some investment may be needed to bring the equipment, and the medical records, up to date with modern standards. The dentist will target a variety of high-margin and value-added markets in order to attract high lifetime value clientele. Many dentists seeks these customers, but Miami has a higher-than-average growth rate in population and is a strong market for many high-margin services. As such, it is expected that the clinic can be profitable quickly. The operational structure will be similar to that of most dental practices.

Marketing
Teeth hitening
The market of dentistry might initially seem to be a predominantly health-driven market, rather than one driven by consumer hopes and fears regarding their status and sexual appeal. However, the recent advertisements for teeth whitening devices call into question the healthy, medical image of the commercial toothpaste market. Crest hite Strips, for example, stresses the seductiveness of the individuals at the forefront of its advertising. The desired consumer behavior it draws upon is the motivation of improving one's appearance for purely cosmetic and cosmological reasons. In a product line that traditionally used to push products based on the fact that one out of every ten dentists preferred a particular brand of paste, now the fact that a white and healthy smile, a smile that creates the appearance of health rather than a mouth that actually is healthy causes in the teeth whitener market the impression that the marketers are…...

breakfast of hash browns, sausages, and eggs for 60 homeless men and women in inner city Oakland, California would not seem like a standard starting point for a career in dentistry. Social work, maybe, but dentistry was not the first thing on my mind after rounding up other members from my church to work at the Open Door Mission. It was not even 6 o'clock in the morning when I was distributing food and noticed one of our regular men give up his sausage to a friend, an act he never would have done if everything were ok with his health. Concerned, I asked him what was going on. He replied that he had a toothache. As if in a film reel, I looked around and realized how many missing teeth had smiled back at me every single day at the Open Door Mission.

In an effort to provide better care for its patients, arises the need to design a network able to support a new multi-location dental care practice. In this report, we will provide a clear set of requirements for the network solution, and then identify the information that is to be protected as well as their related security requirements. Also, we will identify the types of network components, devices and equipment that would be involved in meeting the needs of the stationary offices and all four mobile dentists, and then we will provide a network design diagram that shows an appropriate network configuration to meet the requirements. Finally, we will explain the benefits of the proposed network solution, and identify the risks and risk mitigation strategies associated with the proposed network solution.

The pain was unbearable. I hardly slept that night. Regardless of the fact that I had earlier on ingested two pain killers, the toothache refused to fade away. To this day, this particular night remains the longest I have ever had. Anyone out there who has experienced the agony of a toothache perfectly understands what I mean. For the entire night, the toothache kept subsiding and then coming back in full force. I was actually forced to weak up at 5AM and wait for daybreak so that I could have my parents accompany me to the dentist. To cut the long story short, the offending tooth was eventually extracted at the dentist's office later that morning. To me, it appeared as if the dentist was God sent. In fact, at that moment, he was the only person that really mattered to me. He possessed the 'power' to 'blow away'…...

life I have been a go-getter. I graduated from high school at 16 because I was eager to begin my college education. Currently I am working on dual Bachelor degrees. One will be in Biochemistry and the other will be in Psychology. The same personality trait that has allowed me to graduate from high school early, pursue a dual degree program and many other accomplishments, is what will turn me into a service orientated and dedicated dentist.
One of the things I have pursued as a University of California, San Diego student, is my membership in the campus "For Los Angelitos" club. One of the things we did as a club was to travel to poverty stricken areas and provide lessons about oral hygiene. Equipped with small bags filled with oral care products, we traveled to Tijuana, Mexico where we provided oral care education to the children of the area.…...
One day while doing some research for one of his college courses in the library, he noticed a section of books about human evolution and it occurred to him to see whether they had any information about why white teeth were so important in the first place.
According to evolutionary biologists, human beings, just like other animals, evolved natural preferences in sexual selection that cause us to be attracted to one another on the basis of physical features that are indicators of good physical health and genetic material (Margulis & Sagan, 2000; Zuk, 2002). More specifically, features such as well-formed white teeth provide visual cues of good health and immunity systems because the production of healthy enamel requires good health and sufficient caloric resources. Therefore, in addition to providing evidence of good health, white teeth also suggest greater access to food resources.
During early human evolutionary periods, access to food resources…...

Bite egistration
econstruction of full ach can be challenging for clinical procedures. As increasing number of patients live longer, retaining their teeth become challenging. Typically, clinicians will be called upon to deliver dental. Success esthetic and functional dentistry depend on technician, and clinicians understanding of tooth morphology. This study discusses the proper bite registration for fixed and removable prosthesis. The study discusses important point in ensuring that an accurate fabrication of relationships is obtained to deliver the best results. Fixed prosthodontics is a specialized branch dentistry designed to replace missing teeth using cast prosthesis to replace lost teeth. On the other hand, removable prosthodontics involves replacing missing teeth using a removable prosthesis. The paper identifies different materials necessary for both fixed and removable prosthesis. The modeling wax and amite are part of materials used bite registration to achieve accurate results.

The Role of Dental Profiling in Historical Mysteries
Dental profiling is a specialized forensic technique that analyzes dental characteristics to identify individuals. It has proven invaluable in solving historical mysteries, contributing to the resolution of cold cases and shedding light on historical figures.
Identification of Unknown Remains
Dental profiling has played a pivotal role in identifying unknown remains, particularly in cases where traditional identification methods such as DNA analysis are inconclusive or unavailable. In 1994, the remains of Tsar Nicholas II and his family were identified using dental analysis, as the dental records of the family were meticulously maintained.
