Brain Abscess Originating From Odontogenic Infection: Rare But Life Threatening Sequelae of Dental Origin
Abstract: Archeological excavations have revealed that the cause of the several deaths of the pharaohs of Egypt was brain abscess originating from foci of dental infection. Effective drug treatment and medical regimens for the treatment of brain abscess were unavailable, until the age of modern antibiotics and advanced surgical techniques. Infective process of any origination in the brain may lead to a suppurative abscess that walls itself off (i.e., encapsulates preventing …

Splints in Orthodontic Therapy
Abstract: Splint is defined as a rigid appliance used to connect and mutually support teeth and bones. Dental splints are often used as short term treatment during orthodontic management, before orthodontic treatment or temperomandibular disorders (TMDs) occurring during dentofacial orthopaedic procedures. A new mandibular posture is achieved by occlusal splint, thus leading to a new muscular and articular balance. The splints work by distribution of force, normalising periodontal ligament proprioception, relaxing …

A Study on the Characteristics of the Thermal Line Induced in the Limbs of a Human Body with a Pulse Light ACUP-Stimulation: New Meridian Phenomenon
Abstract: As the essence is clarified through phenomena, so the essence of the meridian is explained through their phenomena. In the past, it was attempted to clarify the nature of meridian by exploring the mechanisms of the meridian, but the aim of the present study was not achieved because of the lack of universality of the phenomena of the existing meridian phenomena. The same was the case for the thermal line—the …
