{"title":"[The organization of Jewish dentists in pre-Israel Palestine].","authors":"M Keren-Kratz","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The first modern dental institutes were established in Europe and in the USA during the 1840s. At that period there wasn't a single qualified doctor in Palestine, not to mention a professional dentist. A couple of decades later, as the number of Christian pilgrims grew, some modern hospitals were established and a few non-Jewish dentists opened their clinics in Jerusalem, which was then and in the following decades, the region's largest city. In Europe, dentistry became a popular profession among Jews in general and among Jewish women in particular. The first Jewish dentist settled in Jerusalem in the mid-1880s. Other dentists were slow to arrive and their number began to grow only after the turn of the 20th century. Their professional education varied from those who were trained as apprentices by other dentists to those which studied a couple of years in an academic dental school. The devastation caused by WWI prompted American-Zionist organizations to send a special medical unit to Palestine in 1918. Along medical supplies it also brought a small group of doctors and dentists. The two American dentists that decided to remain in Palestine took upon themselves to spread their medical and scientific knowledge. They also organized the dentists, whose number grew considerably during the 1920s, and called the authorities to regulate the dental profession. In 1926 the British authorities issued a decree regulating all medical professions. It demanded that dental practitioners will be licensed after proving their previous studies and professional knowledge. In 1931, local dentists' organizations decided to establish the Palestine Dental Association. Five years later it was accepted as a member by the International Dental Federation (FDI) and was recognized by the local authorities. Since the 1930s, prominent Jewish dentists from abroad were invited to come to Palestine to lecture, and local dentists participated in international conferences. This prompted the first scientific publications. At the same time dentists published articles in the daily press in which they educated the public on dental hygiene and on modern dental techniques. This momentum was halted in the early 1940s as result of WWII and the Holocaust, but was quick to resume immediately thereafter. 1944 saw the publication of a professional dental Journal, which this issue is a continuation of. By the time the state of Israel was established in 1948, it had more than 900 active dentists, most of them organized in the Israel Dental Association. The only element which was still required to bridge the gap between the dentists in Israel and those in the rest of the modern world was an academic dental school. After more than 20 years in making, the school was opened in 1953 in Jerusalem. From that time on, Israel's dentistry enjoys a worldwide reputation and its dental school graduates teach and lecture in universities and in many dental forums around the globe.</p>","PeriodicalId":82453,"journal":{"name":"Refu'at ha-peh veha-shinayim (1993)","volume":"33 2","pages":"67-77, 83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34721883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lip pathologies might affect patient's function, appearance and quality of life. The routine clinical examination of the oral cavity includes lip examination--changes in lip color, size or texture should be recognized during the examination, as well as noticing any habit such as lip licking or mouth breathing.The aim of the review is to present common external lip lesions. Color changes--oral melanotic macule is a localized benign pigmented lesion. It might be similar to early melanoma therefore if it is a new lesion, growing or large it should be excised. White and red changes are usually seen at the lower lip which is exposed to the sun light mainly among light skin individuals. The color changes are showing epithelial and subepithlial permanent changes and is called Solar cheilitis. As a potentially malignant disorder the patient should be carefully examined and under follow- ups. These patients are also advised to reduce sun exposure and use sun screen lipsticks. Lichen planus of the lip can be seen as red and white changes the lips are less prevalent site of the disease and usually the patients will have in intra oral involvement as well. Size changes--angioedema is a quick enlargement of the lip sometimes the face as well. It is an allergic reaction to food drugs and other antigens and resolves spontaneously with 72 hours, but when the upper airway is involved an immediate emergency treatment should be given. A chronic swelling of the lip/lips may be a sign of orofacial granulomatosis--a complicated condition with an unknown etiology, diagnosed by a biopsy and elimination of other diagnoses. Treatment includes steroids in various forms or a combination of surgery. Changes of the epithelial surface of the lip can be a result of dry lips in a hot or dry environment or due to mouth breathing. Lip licking might worsen the situation by secondary infection. Angular cheilitis red and sometimes infected lesion of the commissures should be treated by antifungal and antibiotic and prevention of saliva drooling. Recurrent herpes labialis is a common condition that heals spontaneously but the dentist should be aware to local trauma or treatment that might trigger reactivation. In addition, contact of the vesicle fluid might spread the infection. Chronic ulcer or exophytic lesion is sign of lip carcinoma. The majority of patients in Israel are with lighter skin and sun exposure history. Most patients are over the age of 50. Risk groups should be examined carefully and routinely for any lip change. Israel is an endemic area of Leishmaniasis, and any chronic lip lesion among endemic areas residents or workers should be suspected as Leishmaniasis.</p>","PeriodicalId":82453,"journal":{"name":"Refu'at ha-peh veha-shinayim (1993)","volume":"33 2","pages":"58-66, 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34332431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are currently growing number of imaging modalities available in the maxillofacial region, of which a choice must be made according to the least invasive and the most diagnostic option. The introduction of Cone-Beam-Computerized Tomography (CBCT) allows for 3-dimensional imaging volume with improved spatial resolution, along with increased responsibilities of the referring clinician. As various papers showed numerous incidental findings which may be encountered in the imaging data, international organizations advocated the need of both precise, justified and restricted referrals for advanced imaging as well as a need for a radiologic report based on a thorough examination of the entire volume. This paper aims to demonstrate some of the current themes in maxillofacial imaging. it describes the CBCT modality in the maxillofacial region, its application and the various output options. In addition, it introduces the possibility of an imaging consult service.

The measurements were performed after 30, 60 minutes and after 5 days. Heat was applied to GIC occlusal restorations in deciduous and permanent teeth in vitro and the effect on pulp temperature was measured using a thermo-coupling device. The best microhardness results were observed using a specific heating device at 50°C for 30 or 60 seconds, and the differences to self setting material after 60 minutes were statistically significant. After 5 days the differences in microhardness were non- significant. Temperature of 60°C caused the pulp temperature to rise with more than the accepted 5.5°C and may cause irreversible damage to the pulp. The application of heat energy to GIC using a heating device improved the surface microhardness significantly during the first 60 minutes.
