1. what is oral radiology?
A: oral radiology is a medical specialty which focuses on the creation and interpretation
of diagnostic images of the mouth and surrounding area. Dentists utilize oral
radiology in their practices, as do head and neck surgeons, maxillofacial
surgeons, and other members of the medical profession who work around the head
and neck. In some regions, oral radiology is a recognized medical subspecialty
and people such as dentists and radiologists can apply for board certification
in this area
2. what are the disadvantages of being a Dental Assistant?
A: getting f#cked by the dentist being elbow deep in the mouth of a crackhead
whose mouth looks like he garggled acid and smells like something died. Plus
you won”t make any money while the dentist hauls down six figures. People”s
mouth, need I say more? It”s almost as bad as being a proctologist assistant.
Well, smelling peoples breath all day and having to see what they had for lunch
every day would seem to be drawbacks of the profession! Well, I couldn”t spend
my day looking into other peoples mouths, but I”m glad some people can or else
there would be nobody to fix our teeth when problems arise
3. oral surgery
A: Dianne – Both redoing the upper jaw surgery and moving it forward along with
setting back of the lower jaw is definitely possible. Before any surgery is
done, a full radiologic work up along with a dental model work up must be done
to achieve a result that is not only functionally sufficient, but is also
physically pleasing. The full work up is necessary and you need to see the work
up after it isdone. The surgeon must go over the different options and show
what your face will look like with both upper and lower at the same time, with
only upper or only lower.
4. oral tingling
A: facial pain, facial tingling, peri-oral tingling, numbness, DDD,
degenerative disc disease, degenerative joint disease Dear Lynn, Sorry to hear
of your complaints. It sounds like you have been having a good thorough workup.
Obviously a thorough examination with Xray, MRI, CT, EMG, EEG, blood tests,
etc. is the first step. Facial nerve, trigeminal nerve, TMJ are all areas to be
evaluate. I also agree with you, and not the doctors, that perhaps (even
indirectly) the cervical spine can be contributing to this problem. I recommend
a Doctor of Chiropractic with additional credentials
5. CT of abd and pelvis w/oral contrast
A: 1. Prominent = large or increased in size 2. You are probably feeling Fat
accumulations. Fat is what we refer to as lucent or easily passed through by
radiation so this would not be readily seen with the normal penetrating power
of the X-ray beam. Endometriosis isthe thickening of the lining inside of the
uterus
6. what is Potassium Iodide?
A: Potassium iodide is the active ingredient in ”fallout pills,” pills that
prevent the accumulation of radioactive iodines in the thyroid, which can cause
thyroid cancer. Potassium iodide pills or potassium iodide powder should be
consumed in regular doses if one might be exposed to radiation, such as during
a nuclear war. The recommended oral dosage is 16 mg for infants under one month
old, 32 mg for infants 1-36 months old, 65 mg for children 3-12, and 130 mg for
adults. In the US, whether to stockpile potassium iodide for possible use
during a nuclear war or Trans-Pacific fallout from an overseas war is a
decision made at the state level by governors
7. what are the disadvantages of anyone a Dental Assistant?
A: If you are considerate and understanding, near an amazing personality and
your not judgemental. Then self a Dental assistant, has giant amount of
advantages. Fallow your heart, and proceed with your aspiration. It”s your
life, not anyone Else”s. Unfortunately, you know individual negative family in

so generate your own choice, most important what make you happy! getting f#cked

your hand in someones mouth would be really grossA dental ass
8. what different kinds of dentistry jobs are their?
A: Denistry is a job with many opportunities, some jobs related to dentistry
are: dental public health, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial pathology, oral
and maxillofacial radiology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics and
dentofacial orthopedics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics(deals with the
tissues in the mouth), and prosthodontics..
9. what types of doctors are there?
A: Ok, you asked for thorough! Addiction Medicine: The branch of medicine that
concentrates on helping people overcome repetitive behaviors that can range
from drug and alcohol dependency to tobacco use and eating disorders.
Adolescent Medicine: The specialty of physicians with the experience and
training to help young people meet the medical, psychological and social
challenges that occur during the transition from childhood to adulthood.
AIDS/HIV Care: A multidisciplinary effort that’s often led by primary-care
physicians working in cooperation with case managers, registered nurses,
nutritionists, physical and occupational therapists, and others
10. what in the ER for an asthma attack, what O2 saturation
level is o.k. for discharge?
A: A normal oxygen saturation (sat) for any person is 98%. An acceptable sat
for a 7 year old depends on the doctor and the presentation of the child.
Recent studies show that a 90% sat is acceptable to go home. Still, our doctors
usually like it to be 92% or better — or even 94%. So you can see there is some
flexability. This would be a great question to ask your doctor. Do you need a
pulse oximeter for home use? I think it would be rare for a doctor to recommend
this for home use, but I”m sure there are exceptions
11. what Dental Work is Safe During Pregnancy?
A: An exerpt from americanpregnancy.orgPreventive dental cleanings and annual
exams during pregnancy are not only safe, but are recommended. The rise in
hormone levels during pregnancy causes the gums to swell, bleed, and trap food
causing increased irritation to your gums. Preventive dental work is essential
to avoid oral infections such as gum disease, which has been linked to preterm
birth.what about other regular dental work during pregnancy?Dental work such as
cavity fillings and crowns should be treated to reduce the chance of infection.
If dental work is done during pregnancy, the second trimester is ideal
12. Failed Dental Implant
A: Susan – Let me first tell you that my wife is a psychotherapist and I know
the responsibilities in your life. Getting away from the above, let me tell you
that I think your surgeon is just plain lousy. If he was an oral surgeon, he
should have been an oral and maxillary surgeon. If not, he is not really a
surgeon. Of course, not seeing your surgeries or your xrays, it is a little
tough for me to tell you what is going on exactly, but it does sound like the
surgeon pushed the implant into the soft palate during removal or the implant
tha
13. crown or extraction?
A: Corinne – The main reason that a microscopic fracture cannot be identified
as opposed to evaluating bone for an implant is the size of the fractures. Most
of these fractures are so small and thin that they cannot be seen on any
radiologic examination. If your dentist and endodontist cannot determine if
there is a fracture and you are in almost constant pain I would sort of follow
your line of reasoning and get the extractions and implant insertions. The key
to the success of this treatment is to be evaluated and treated only by a board
certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon
14. spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis,
A: A recap for you on Adult isthmic Spondylolisthesis (Slipped Vertebra)as you
know. Other than what I have established below, the only way to get
satisfaction is to have surgical intervention. what is it? what treatments are
available? The spine is made up of a series of connected bones called
“vertebrae.” In about 5 percent of the adult population, there is a
developmental crack in one of the vertebrae, usually at the point at which the
lower (lumbar) part of the spine joins the tailbone
15. Dental vs Chest x-ray
A: The absorbtion dose is dependent on the machine used for these procedures.
Are we talking about Digital Radiograpy or the older form of diagnostic
radiography. There is a huge difference and the dosages are greatly controlled
with digital Vs General. The question failed to offer these options. As for the
lead shields! The concentration of the xray beam to the local area of the
jaw/oral, isconfined, and far away from the reproductive system. With a lead
shield covering the abdomen, there is no chance of radiation exposure, and no
potential risks. The thyroid collar is acceptable, but my personal opinion
16. Question for Dental Hygenist?
A: Dental hygiene is a great second career. I went to hygiene school when I was
twenty eight. I have found that having more life experience has helped me a lot
when it comes to hygiene. I love my job and would not trade it for anything.
Pros: Great working hours Great money Being able to help people understand and
take care of their teeth. esp making them understand that oral health care isan
indication of their whole body health. Good benefits, sick leave, paid
holidays, some medical, free dentistry minus the lab fee. The ability to make
the difference in someone’s life, esp older patients who look forward to their
cleanings because they don’t have anyone
17. Liver CT – RCC
A: Regarding the type of contrasts you were given, barium is an oral contrast.
you might or might not have the oral contrast for the other studies as oral
contrasts are not needed to evaluate the liver. IV iodine contrast is the
essential contrast to study the liver. If possible, i would have the images of
the 2 middle studies forward to the hospital or have this hospital send you the
2 scans that they did. To be able to compare all 4 studies would be very
helpful in determining what”s going on. Renal cell cancer are many times not
picked up on PET scan due their metabolic state not picking up
18. Large Cell NHL
A: she has an acute reaction to the treatment which is seen sometimes with some
patients very sensible to drugs. She should first be protected by antibiotics
and a neutrophil boost beside may be erythropoeitin to increase the red cells
level. PACEBOM Regimen: Multi-drug chemotherapy with prednisolone, adriamycin,
cyclophosphamide and etoposide (PACE) alternating every 7 days with bleomycin,
vincristine and methotrexate (BOM). Six cycles of PACE and five of BOM to be
given I am giving you some info for you to understand first then answer your
direct question: Large Cell Lymphomas (LCL) are one of the most common types of
lymphoma, comprising about 20% of non-Hodgkin”s lymphomas
19. can you interpret my MRI in simple english please.
A: Dear Shaz, Having a leg length inequality is actually a fairly common
finding in patients, however, most doctors never actually look for the
relationship of a short leg to spinal or pelvic dysfunction. I am actually
impressed that your Osteopath has analyzed the relationship and given you a
heel lift to correct the structural differences. In regards to your previous
question about the MRI, leg length inequality can lead to accelerated
degeneration in the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints of the pelvis due to
long term altered weight bearing on the joints. So this can easily be a
causative factor in the degeneration found, however, it is probably not the
sole factor.
20. HIDA Scan Results
A: If you have several symptoms and that the gallbladder is found to be the
cause it will be removed what matter the results of a statistical testing but
so far the symptoms that you are giving are not much related to gallbladder but
I can be mistaken without a physical exam it is hard to assess.this technique
is used in acute cholecystitis and congenital biliary atresia and you do not
present neither of both symptoms There are various patterns of radioactivity
that can be seen following the injection of the radioactive chemical, and each
has a different meaning. If the test chemical
