"INTRODUCTION

As innovations come out to further the way in which the oral professionals overcome patients problems, it is necessary to look at some of this new technology, and how it is dealt with in scientific journals. One such area in which new advances have occurred is in the area of sealants, the plastic which a dentist bonds into the grooves of the chewing surface of a tooth in order to help prevent tooth decay and cavities. While research findings overwhelmingly document the need to educate the public and increase knowledge and acceptance of oral health care professionals about this caries-preventive technology (Gilpin). By looking at the research and critical comments, as well as clinical evaluations of sealant advances, it is possible to create a useful picture of just how well sealants currently ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that streptococcus mutans are the main bacteria that cause dental cavities, which can advance to the gums to form periodontal disease. The paper also explains that dental cavities are caused by streptococcus mutans and lactic acid bacteria, which perform malolactic fermentation on tooth. The paper concludes that, though various drugs are available for this illness, it is better to take precaution to stop the colonization of these bacteria through proper care of the mouth and early diagnose of dental disease.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"The shape of a bacterium is used to determine its name. Since Streptococcus mutans is of a spherical shape, the bacteria were named as coccus. The major genera of Streptococci were named as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. Another name associated with Streptococci is diplococcoi though a change by a gram negative in its feature would put them in a completely different genus like Neisseria or Branhamella. Streptococci are also found in other forms though the major shapes are in the form of a small comma known as Vibrios and a spiral shape known as Treponema."

From the Paper
"This study will describe and discuss the relationships of the main characters in Joyce Cary's l939 novel, Mister Johnson, about black-white relations in British colonial Nigeria.

The primary relationship in the book is that between the African clerk Johnson and the District Officer Harry Rudbeck. Most of the other relationships in the book---such as that between Johnson and Sergeant "Sargy" Gollup---are developed by Cary to help strengthen and clarify the relationship between Johnson and Rudbeck. These two characters are meant by Cary to symbolize the relationship between the white British colonial in the position of ultimate power in Africa and the subservient African who derives a major part of his identity from his relationship with powerful whites who he is continually trying to please."

Abstract
The "Tragedy of Mariam" focuses on Elizabeth's Cary's desire to develop a platform from which women can speak, thereby offering a fuller understanding of women as individuals. This paper examines Cary's exploration of gender, language and silence in "The Tragedy of Mariam". It looks at how the play's expression of these themes is sometimes open and at other times covert. By concentrating on the issues of public and private speech, it attempts to determine the effect that crossing patriarchal boundaries had on women in early modern England.

From the Paper
"The Tragedy of Mariam is often categorized as a Senecan closet drama; Cary, it seems, had no intention of taking the play to the public stage. This allowed Cary to distance herself from the popular theatres associated with lower social classes and associate herself with elite, aristocratic groups of writers. Prior to 1660, women had no role in public theatre; even the simple act of writing pushed the boundaries of acceptable female behaviour. By creating a closet drama, Cary becomes a perfect example of how early women dramatists created acceptable spaces for their dramatic voice, using theatrical settings, which helped them to justify female self-expression."

Abstract
A look at how the rising Christian church influenced and literally took over the ideas of learning and teaching and carying on from one generation to another the basics needed to improve civiliaation and expand the boundaries of human knowledge. Monastacism was a retreat for pious intellectuals and teachers, and the basics for learning- trivium (for liberal arts) and quatrivium foir sciences were developed under the duidance of Cassiodorus and those who followwed, leading to the eventual Renaissance

Intellectual Life and Christianity in the Emerging West There was Western civilization well before the advent of Christianity. In fact, the very foundations of intellectualism could be found in the ideas and writings of Plato, Aristotle and other Greek philosophers, and then carried on through the artists, architects, poets and authors of Greece and Imperial Rome. In other words, the emergence of Christianity- after its less than auspicious merging into the culture of Rome- did begin to influence Western thought. The reason is obvious: Christianity brought a disarming acceptance of life and death and, through its message of salvation, embraced the thinkers for whom the decline of the Roman Empire

Abstract
This paper examines the film "Notorious" in the context of the relationship between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman. As spies and lovers, Bergman and Grant are constantly testing one another's trustworthiness and love. This paper concludes that a love that trusts cannot test the object of its affections.

Abstract
The paper provides a critical analysis of "Goose's Story" by Cari Best and Holly Meade in order to provide a literary insight into how children should learn about injured wildlife. The paper shows how the story provides detailed dialogues that can help both parents and their children understand the proper way to treat animals that are injured in the wild. However, the paper argues that the book clearly reads more like an instruction or teaching manual that the publishers wanted to see in too narrow a market specific category, making the characters typical and one-dimensional.

Abstract
This paper critically evaluates the content and illustrations of "Goose's Story" by Cari Best and Holly Meade. It discusses the content of the story written by Best and how it successfully teaches children how to care for wild animals. The paper also analyzes the impact that the illustrations by Meade have on the child readers. It specifically shows how the illustrations infuse many different artistic mediums that build on Best's written word.

From the Paper
"In conclusion, a critical analysis of Goose's Story by Cari Best and Holly Meade provides a literary insight into how children should learn about injured wildlife. In many cases, the story provides detailed dialogues that can help both parents and their children understand the proper way to treat animals that are injured in the wild. However, the book clearly reads more like an instruction or teaching manual that the publishers wanted to see in too narrow a market specific category, making the characters typical and one-dimensional. In this manner, the book provides valid content, but does not rise to the artistic standards that art and literature should provide for children on a more profound level."

Abstract
This paper describes new technology for predicting and preventing dental cavities. The paper first discusses the caries assessment and risk evaluation (CARE) exam, which tests saliva in order to predict future cavities in children. The paper then looks at quantitative light fluorescence, which can identify a problematic area even before it becomes a cavity and advanced digital technology that help dentists find cavities in more cases. The paper concludes that while digital technology and quantitative light fluorescence enable earlier detection of cavities and therefore earlier treatment for patients, ultimately the saliva test is the simplest, least expensive and potentially most revolutionary.

From the Paper
"Recent dental research has tended to stress the treatment of cavities. But exciting new research has begun to focus on the prevention and early detection of problematic areas in patient's mouths. Because of the need for early detection of cavities, innovations in saliva testing for problematic teeth, quantitative light fluorescence, and digital radiography are equally, if not more important as other areas of research. Because of these new innovations, recent statistical trends in cavity prevalence in young children may decline within our lifetimes."
