A concise and informative book introducing a simple and unique cranial release technique that can be used to relieve head and neck pain, and to prevent cranial strains from developing after long dental appointments and especially after difficult oral surgery. This technique has been developed and utilized over the past forty five years and will also facilitate tooth and bone movement using removable light-wire orthodontic orthopedic appliances.

Written by the acclaimed Dr. Stephen P Broderson, DDS, the book is aimed primarily at dentists, but will also be highly useful for other whole body practitioners to learn this technique of cranial manipulation for patients with pain and dysfunction, for orthodontic and orthopedic patients, and for post-treatment after oral surgery and any long appointments.

These transcriptions of dental meetings and seminars of the early 20^th century shed light on the history and development of dentistry.

The dentists of the time hadn't standardized their prescribing practices, with private practices around the USA and Canada often giving their patients different medicines for pain, inflammation and infections. Some dentists at the turn of the 20^th century lacked detailed knowledge of what they had prescribed, having simply been recommended by other dentists, or been advertised to by a drug company. The Canadian Oral Prophylactic Association was conceived as a way to inform and improve the situation; within months of founding, they had created their own toothpaste and were publishing guidelines.

These lectures sought to educate and inform dentists about the latest advances in the field. The abysmal death rates involved in dental infections remained an enormous problem; public education in dental care, oral hygiene and better treatments were still areas in dire need of improvement when these lectures were published in 1916. However, the recent technological advances in X-rays were encouraging; with the use of radiology, diagnosis of cavities and tooth decay became easier. The case studies related provide valuable historic context on dentistry at the time.

Botulinum toxin is the most poisonous substance known. A single gram of crystalline toxin, evenly dispersed and inhaled, would kill more than 1 million people, although technical factors would make such dissemination difficult. The basis of the phenomenal potency of botulinum toxin is enzymatic the toxin is a zinc proteinase that cleaves 1 or more of the fusion proteins by which neuronal vesicles release acetylcholine into the neuromuscular junction. It has become the first biological toxin to become licensed for the treatment of human disease. Botulinum toxin is currently licensed for the treatment of cervical torticollis, strabismus, and blepharospasm associated with dystonia.

Tongue-ties are little-understood birth defects that affect millions of people in the United States and around the world. A tongue-tie might cause a baby or child to experience difficulty nursing, speaking, or eating. Abnormal dental and facial development, neck pain, shoulder pain and headaches can also result if tongue ties are not addressed. The tiny string under the tongue is frequently misunderstood and misdiagnosed, perhaps because doctors and dentists are not usually taught to diagnose or treat it. This book reveals the long history of human experience with tongue ties. It covers the assessment techniques and treatment options available for tethered oral tissues in the 21st century, using a multi-disciplinary team approach. Patients' accounts of challenges and victories are woven into several of the chapters. The benefits of releasing restricted tongues can truly be life-changing for families. When diagnosed and treated appropriately by a knowledgeable team, tethered oral tissues can be released with minimal discomfort, risk, and expense, improving quality of life for millions of people who suffer needlessly.

The Roots of Disease: Connecting Dentistry and Medicine represents the collaborative efforts of a dental surgeon, Dr. Robert Kulacz, and a cardiologist, Dr. Thomas Levy. For almost a decade now, these two health care professionals have had the opportunity to directly observe the enormous negative impact that infective dental toxicity has had on the health of many patients. Drs. Kulacz and Levy have also found that the removal of, and complete healing of, sites of infective dental toxicity can often result in seemingly near-miraculous improvement in many of the patients so treated. At the very least, substantial improvements in the clinical conditions and abnormal laboratory profiles of many patients so treated have been observed very frequently by the authors.

It is the opinion of Drs. Kulacz and Levy that many, if not most, medical conditions and diseases result from the inability of the body to completely neutralize its many daily toxic stresses. Certainly, all medical conditions can be expected to be aggravated and worsened by any ongoing and unneutralized toxin exposures, regardless of what may have caused the medical conditions to develop in the first place. The Roots of Disease endeavors to demonstrate that for most victims of chronic degenerative disease, one or more sources of infective dental toxicity can be identified and eliminated.

While infective dental toxicity occurs in multiple settings, including root canal treated teeth, dental implants, cavitations, abscessed teeth, and periodontal disease, it would appear that root canal treated teeth do the greatest amount of damage to the health and immune systems of the greatest number of people. The very nature of the root canal procedure allows the elimination of tooth pain while still harboring a situation of chronic anaerobic infection. Eliminating the most natural warning sign of a deep-seated infection is an especially dangerous situation. And like anaerobic infections encountered anywhere else in the body, the associated infective toxicity in the root canal treated tooth can always be expected to eventually overtax the immune system of the patient. However, immune system collapse will often occur years after the performance of the root canal procedure, and the proper blame for the subsequent immune incompetence rarely ever gets assigned to the root canal treated tooth. A chronic degenerative disease, such as cancer, heart disease, or arthritis, just appears one day, and both doctor and patient alike think it is the unlucky and/or inevitable consequence of aging.

Hopefully, this book will both educate and enrage its readers. The appendices in this book further attempt to demonstrate to the reader that a very large amount of hard scientific data already exists to support all of the assertions made. Dentistry and medicine must always be practiced in conjunction with each other, although presently such collaboration is rarely found. Dentists and physicians need to become working colleagues on a regular basis. Until this happens, many more patients will suffer from the historical isolation and separation of these two noble professions.

Die Studie untersuchte die Wahrnehmungen vollständig zahnloser Patienten in Bezug auf die Therapie mit Totalprothesen anhand eines validierten Fragebogens, der die Antworten in Nutzen, Risiken und Folgen einer Nichtbehandlung unterteilte. Die Ergebnisse deuten auf eine überwiegend positive Wahrnehmung hin, wobei die Teilnehmer im Bereich der Vorteile die höchste Punktzahl erreichten, was auf eine starke Anerkennung der Vorteile einer Prothese hinweist. Umgekehrt wurden die Bedenken hinsichtlich der Risiken am geringsten bewertet, was auf eine minimale Befürchtung negativer Folgen hindeutet. Die Analyse ergab keine signifikanten Unterschiede in der Wahrnehmung je nach Geschlecht, Prothesenerfahrung oder sozioökonomischem Status, was darauf hindeutet, dass diese Faktoren die Einstellung zur Therapie nicht beeinflussen. Insgesamt zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass die Patienten die Totalprothesentherapie im Allgemeinen positiv bewerten, insbesondere im Hinblick auf ihre Vorteile, während sie nur minimale Bedenken hinsichtlich der damit verbundenen Risiken äu ern. Diese Studie unterstreicht die Einheitlichkeit der positiven Einstellung der Patienten über verschiedene demographische und erfahrungsbedingte Hintergründe hinweg. Diese Erkenntnisse können Zahnärzten dabei helfen, die Einstellung der Patienten besser zu verstehen und so die Patientenaufklärung und die Zufriedenheit mit der Totalprothesentherapie zu verbessern.

The Airway Centric(R) Model prevents Airway-Centered Disorders, Sleep-Disordered Breathing to maintain mental and physical health. Learn how to recognize and correct Airway-Centered Disorders, Sleep-Disordered Breathing.Gasp is about our airway, breathing and sleep. Problems can start at birth. Many premature babies are mouth breathers. A poorly structured and functioning airway leads to mouth breathing, snoring and sleep apnea; it can interfere with restorative sleep and ultimately damage the part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex, which controls executive function skills, attentiveness, anxiety and depression. Learn how to restore an ideal airway with early intervention, and where to go for help. Learn how once the airway is established with breastfeeding, allergy treatment, and other methods, neurocognitive and neurobehavioral problems are greatly improved-often without any medication. Anxiety and depression are alleviated, and the behavior and performance of children are remarkably transformed.Today there is a health movement toward Wellness. Wellness is about diet and nutrition, exercise, and mental attitude. The new paradigm is called Functional Medicine. It addresses the causes of chronic disease with an individualized approach and emphasizes early intervention. It restores the balance amongst functional systems and the networks that connect them. The missing link is airway, breathing, and sleep. If we don't breathe well when we sleep, 1/3 of our life is affected. Gasp describes the impact of a narrowed airway from cradle to grave. Every day, we encounter fatigued patients with chronic headaches and neck pain. They have difficulty concentrating; they suffer with GI problems from acid reflux to irritable bowel syndrome. They range from thin women to men who have put on a few pounds. And you do not have to be obese to have an airway problem. Many of our younger patients with ADHD and airway issues have little body fat.Time after time we see that once the airway is opened during the day and maintained during sleep, the transformation is quick and dramatic.Breathing is life.
