We are a species fueled by obsessions. Every human achievement, and every infamy, is the result of an obsession that tormented, possessed and consumed. This is a selection of poetry about solitude and other obsessions that have distracted, driven, destroyed and / or defined us.

Review :
I'm not a big poetry reader , but this is one of the best book i have ever read.The book is a compilation of 73 brilliant and beautifull poems written by 5 different authors.The quality of writing is tremendous. Poems are dense and complex but absolutely stunning.The pages hold beauty, truth and a sly kind of humour.Each and every poem has light within its overwhelming darkness.Cover of the book colourfull and lively and title is apt. Uma's poems inclined towards nature and soldied , A soldier's life is my personal  favourite .Binod poem were reflective , Trupti's have love and social issues, Shruti's were full of life and Saurin's poems were full of wonder and on the top of it the paintings by Shripad Bhalerao compliments the book.
A must read book.

Tooth Extraction : Removal Of Impacted Tooth

When your mouth lacks the space necessary to properly fit each tooth nature has provided, your dentist may suggest the tooth be removed to prevent overcrowding or damage to your other teeth. This is particularly the case with wisdom teeth that do not erupt through the gumline, and instead remain trapped (or, impacted) beneath the bone in the jaw.
 
With this dental procedure code, the tooth in question is completely covered by a layer of bone, and is referred to as either “completely bony” or “full bony.” This is further complicated because such teeth often come in horizontally instead of vertically, causing the tooth to traject at an angle, interfering with adjacent teeth. An impacted tooth can also become infected, and it is because of these two reasons they are routinely removed.
 
There are two main types of tooth extraction, “simple,” and surgical. With a simple extraction, the tooth is removed using the same basic tools as with a surgical extraction, but without the need for any type of incision to the gingiva, nor segmenting of the tooth to aid in its removal. In contrast, a surgical extraction would require at least one of these two methods of enhanced extraction. Surgical extraction is covered under a separate dental code, and can also be referred to as an “open” extraction.
 
From a procedural standpoint, a surgical extraction of an impacted tooth is a fairly straightforward event. Your dentist will provide local anesthetic to numb the area surrounding the tooth, or if you are overly anxious about the procedure, analgesia may be administered. Then, your dentist will make an incision along your gumline, creating what is known as a “surgical flap.” This “flap” of tissue allows a dentist to gain access to the bone along the side of the jaw that is encasing the tooth.
 
Once the flap is created, your dentist will use a surgical hand-piece to gently layer away the bone providing access to the tooth for extraction. Once enough bone has been removed and the crown of the tooth is fully visible, your dentist may need to segment (or, cut) the tooth in order to remove it. Exactly how a tooth is segmented is based on numerous factors including the number of canals present, and shape of the tooth's root. Additionally, any other nearby obstacles such as adjacent teeth or nerve bundles need to be considered.  


 
Once segmented, your dentist will likely need to “rock” the tooth back and forth to ease in its removal. This is done either with a pair of forceps, or a dental tool known as an “elevator,” which is akin to a common lever, and somewhat resembles a small flat-head screwdriver. Since the bone in our jaws is soft, this gentle rocking motion actually compresses the bone slightly so the tooth can be removed without the need to apply excessive force. Final removal is usually done with a tug of the forceps.
 
Once the tooth has been removed, and depending on your next steps for care, your dentist may conduct a tooth socket graft to prevent bone resorption that begins rather immediately after the loss of a tooth, or simply allow the opening in the gum to heal on its own as with wisdom tooth extraction.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT : Everything You Need To Know

Root canal therapy, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental treatment for removing infection from inside a tooth. It can also protect the tooth from future infections.

It is carried out in the pulp of the tooth, which is the root canal.

Fast facts about root canal therapy Root canal therapy is used to remove nerves from the pulp of a tooth.It is thought to be very painful but is a pain-relieving treatment.The procedure often referred to as root canal is called endodontic therapy.Root canal therapy costs vary, but it is a less costly option than having a tooth removed and replaced with a crown or bridge.

What are the steps?

Root canal therapy is done in three steps, and it takes between one and three sessions to complete.

1. Cleaning the root canal

First, the dentist removes everything that is inside the root canal.

With the patient under local anesthesia, the dentist makes a small access hole on the surface of the tooth and removes the diseased and dead pulp tissue with very small files.

2. Filling the root canal

Next, the dentist cleans, shapes and decontaminates the hollow area, using tiny files and irrigation solutions. Then, the tooth is filled with a rubber-like material, using an adhesive cement to seal the canals completely.

After root canal therapy, the tooth is dead. The patient will no longer feel any pain in that tooth because the nerve tissue has been removed, and the infection has been eliminated.

3. Adding a crown or filling

However, the tooth will be now more fragile than it was before. A tooth with no pulp must receive its nourishment from the ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. This supply is adequate, but in time, the tooth will become more brittle, so a crown or filling offers protection.

Until the crown or filling is complete, the patient should not chew or bite on the tooth. Once there is a crown or filling is done, the person can use the tooth as before.

Treatment often takes only one appointment, but if there are curved canals, multi-canals, or large infections, this could take one or two additional appointments.
