Before concluding this chapter in which we have emphasized the idea of ascertaining how individuality and metabolic peculiarities are pertinent to specific diseases, it may be well to emphasize that acceptance of this concept does not involve the subtraction of one iota from the equipment of those engaged in the fields of medical and dental research or of medical and dental practice. Whatever agents, procedures, or whatnot are already successfully used are no less valuable when the facts of biochemical individuality are known. Actually, their value may be greatly...

DETAILS - Sodium pentothal is one of the most widely used anesthetics in medical and dental practice. It is also the drug of choice for suicidal doctors, so its lethal potential is well proven. It is an ultra-short acting depressant of the central nervous system. It induces hypnosis and anesthesia, but not analgesia (pain relief) Hypnosis is produced within 30 to 40 seconds of injection.

According to WHO [6] recommendations, the absolute upper concentration for fluoride in drinking water is 1 mg/L. Yet even this concentration can be too high for many parts of the world due, not only to the greater consumption of water in hot climates, but also to the increasing levels of fluoride in, and increased consumption of, processed drinks and foods, the variety of dental practices and different lifestyles. WHO [6] therefore suggested that the level of 1.0 mg/L should be seen as an absolute upper limit, even in cold climates, while 0.5 mg/L may be appropriate lower limit. The history of water fluoridation and its value in the early years of the 21st century have recently been reviewed by Mullen [105]. 

Another example is LIBS application for real-time identification of carious teeth (Samek et al. 2003). In the dental practice, usually more healthy tissue is removed than ultimately necessary. Carious and healthy tooth material can be identified through the decrease of matrix elements Ca and P in hydroxyapatite and/or the increase of non-matrix elements, typically Li, Sr, Ba, Na, Mg, Zn and C, using pattern recognition algorithms. A fiber-based LIBS assembly was successfully used for this task. As for the case of phosphate ores evaluation, the efforts aimed at normalizing the spectrum collection conditions and procedures, so that the spectra are sufficiently reproducible for precise quantitative... 

First recorded use of nitrous oxide in United States dental practice by Gardner Quincy Colton, a former... 

Enlisting Colton to bring his nitrous oxide equipment to the dentist s office, Wells used himself as the test subject. Colton administered the gas while a dentist colleague and friend of Wells pulled a tooth from his mouth. The experiment was successful Wells woke up shortly after and reported feeling no pain from the procedure. Buoyed by this success, Wells began using nitrous oxide as an anesthetic in his dental practice.

Nitrous oxide has been used recreationally since Humphry Davy learned of its intoxicating properties in 1799. It is a small linear molecule that is a stable and colorless gas at room temperature. Nitrous oxide has been used clinically as an anesthetic since its early use in dentistry. Today, it is still commonly used in dental practices. Nitrous oxide is also used in combination with other anesthetics to facilitate changes in the depth of a patient s anesthesia. Because of its unique ability to enhance the uptake of a second anesthetic gas, it is often used in combination with anesthetics like halothane and isoflurane.

The recommended safe upper dose limit for bupivacaine is commonly 2-2.5 mg/kg. However, some authors recommend a lower dose of 1.25 mg/kg as the safe upper limit in dental practice (SEDA-20,128) (5). 

Cocaine hydrochloride should melt at 180°-186°(B.E), 183°(P.G.), 186° (Fr Codex). It should be perfectly colour-less, and should afford a bright, neutral solution in water. This salt of cocaine is the one most generally employed in medicine. It is largely used for producing local anesthesia in minor operations and in dental practice. Given internally, or in small hypodermic doses, it acts as a nerve stimulant, restorative, and tonic. The mental exhilaration it produces often conduces to the formation of the cocaine habit, which is even more unfortunate than the morphia habit in its results. Source Barrowcliff 1920...

Osmium—Os—198.5- occurs in combination with Ir in Pt ores combustible and readily oxidized to OSO4. This oxid, known as osmie acid, forms colorless crystals, soluble in HaO, which give off intensely irritating vapors. It is used as a staining agent by histologists, and also in dental practice.
