INGLS INSTRUMENTAL UNINORTE - LAURETE


PROF. ALBA DE OLIVEIRA

O INGLS COMO LNGUA INTERNACIONAL


Assim como no a direo do vento que determina o rumo do navegador, no a lngua que
o mundo fala que determinar o nosso destino.
In the same way that the direction of the wind doesn't determine the sailor's destination, the
language we speak will not determine our destiny.
Ricardo Schtz
Atualizado em 3 de junho de 2009
O PASSADO
Analfabetismo era comum na Idade Mdia. Quando um rei precisava comunicar-se com outro,
contratava um escriba para desenhar a mensagem em linguagem escrita. fato sabido, por
exemplo, que Carlos Magno, no sculo VIII, era analfabeto. A inexistncia da imprensa
dificultava a padronizao da ortografia, fazendo da escrita uma arte complexa. A arte de bem
escrever era uma habilidade profissional especializada, ao alcance de poucos. Esta talvez seja a
razo pela qual em 1500 a expedio portuguesa sob o comando de Pedro lvares Cabral
trouxe Pero Vaz de Caminha como escrivo da armada.
Por volta de 1700 o ndice de pessoas alfabetizadas na Europa era de apenas de 30 a 40 por
cento. Esse mesmo ndice, por volta de 1850, j era de 50 a 55 por cento, enquanto que durante
a segunda metade do sculo 19 a habilidade de escrever tornou-se uma qualificao bsica do
ser humano. No sculo 20 o analfabetismo tornou-se definitivamente uma deficincia
intolervel em qualquer plano social, em qualquer profisso. Um analfabeto nos pases
desenvolvidos de hoje seria uma pessoa totalmente marginalizada.
Isto que aconteceu com a habilidade de ler e escrever, est comeando a acontecer com a
habilidade de se dominar uma segunda lngua. Se compararmos a importncia de se falar uma
lngua estrangeira 50 anos atrs com a necessidade hoje da pessoa ser bilngue, pode-se
facilmente entender a ameaa que o monolinguismo representa e imaginar o problema em que
se constituir quando nossos filhos tornarem-se adultos.

FATOS HISTRICOS RECENTES


A histria, ao coroar o ingls como lngua do mundo, sentenciou o monolinguismo nos pases
de lngua no-inglesa a se tornar o analfabetismo do futuro. Mas como isso aconteceu?
Em primeiro lugar, devido ao grande poderio econmico da Inglaterra no sculo 19, alavancado
pela Revoluo Industrial, e a consequente expanso do colonialismo britnico, o qual chegou a
alcanar uma vasta abrangncia geogrfica e uma igualmente vasta disseminao da lngua
inglesa.
Em segundo lugar, devido ao poderio poltico-militar do EUA a partir da segunda guerra
mundial, e marcante influncia econmica e cultural resultante, que acabou por deslocar o
Francs dos meios diplomticos e solidificar o ingls na posio de padro das comunicaes
internacionais.
O PRESENTE
A atual busca de informao aliada necessidade de comunicao em nvel mundial j fez com
que o ingls fosse promovido de lngua dos povos americano, britnico, irlands, australiano,
neozelands, canadense, caribenhos, e sul-africano, a lngua internacional. Enquanto que o
portugus atualmente falado em 4 pases por cerca de 195 milhes de pessoas, o ingls
falado como lngua materna por cerca de 400 milhes de pessoas, tendo j se tornado a lngua
franca, o Latim dos tempos modernos, falado em todos os continentes por cerca de 800 milhes
de pessoas (Todd iv, minha traduo).
Estimativas mais radicais, incluindo falantes com nveis de menor percepo e fluncia,
sugerem a existncia atualmente de um total superior a um bilho. (Crystal 360, minha
traduo)
Alm disso, h estimativas de que 85% das publicaes cientficas do mundo; 75% de toda
comunicao internacional por escrito, 80% da informao armazenada em todos os
computadores do mundo e 90% do contedo da Internet so em ingls.
Acrescente-se a isso a reduo de custos de passagens areas, o que aumenta contatos
internacionais em nvel interpessoal. Em paralelo, a atual revoluo das telecomunicaes
proporcionada pela informtica, pela fibra tica, e por satlites, despejando informaes via TV
ou colocando o conhecimento da humanidade ao alcance de todos via INTERNET, cria o
conceito de autoestrada de informaes. Estes dois fatores bem demonstram como o mundo

evoluiu a ponto de tornar-se uma vila global, e o quanto necessrio que se estabelea uma
linguagem comum.
Ao assumir este papel de lngua global, o ingls torna-se uma das mais importantes ferramentas,
tanto acadmicas quanto profissionais. hoje inquestionavelmente reconhecido como a lngua
mais importante a ser adquirida na atual comunidade internacional. Este fato incontestvel e
parece ser irreversvel. O ingls acabou tornando-se o meio de comunicao por excelncia
tanto do mundo cientfico como do mundo de negcios.
Philip B. Gove, no seu prefcio ao Webster's Third New International Dictionary ilustra:
Parece bastante claro que antes do trmino do sculo 20 todas as comunidades do mundo vo
ter aprendido a se comunicar com o resto da humanidade. Neste processo de intercomunicao
a lngua inglesa j se tornou a lngua mais importante no planeta. (5a, minha traduo)
E David Crystal acrescenta:
medida que o ingls se torna o principal meio de comunicao entre as naes, crucial
garantirmos que seja ensinado com preciso e eficientemente. (3, minha traduo)

O FUTURO
Hoje j previsvel que dinheiro e riqueza material sero substitudos por informao e
conhecimento, como fatores determinantes na estruturao da futura sociedade humana e
proficincia na linguagem de ento ser essencial para se alcanar sucesso.

Tcnicas de Leitura

As tcnicas de leitura, como o prprio nome diz, vo nos ajudar a ler um texto. Existem
tcnicas variadas, mas veremos as mais utilizadas. Ao ler um texto em Ingls, lembre-se de usar
as tcnicas aprendidas, elas vo ajud-lo. O uso da gramtica vai ajudar tambm.
As principais tcnicas so: a identificao de cognatos, de palavras repetidas e de pistas
tipogrficas. Ao lermos um texto vamos, ainda, apurar a ideia geral do texto (general
comprehension) e utilizar duas outras tcnicas bastante teis: skimming e scanning.

a)

Cognatos

Os cognatos so palavras muito parecidas com as palavras do Portugus. So as chamadas


palavras transparentes. Existem tambm os falsos cognatos, que so palavras que achamos que
tal coisa, mas no ; os falsos cognatos so em menor nmero, estes ns veremos adiante.
Como cognatos podemos citar: school (escola), telephone (telefone), car (carro), question
(questo, pergunta), activity (atividade), training (treinamento)... Voc mesmo poder criar sua
prpria lista de cognatos!

b)

Palavras repetidas

As palavras repetidas em um texto possuem um valor muito importante. Um autor no repete as


palavras em vo. Se elas so repetidas, porque so importantes dentro de texto. Muitas vezes
para no repetir o mesmo termo, o autor utiliza sinnimos das mesmas palavras para no tornar
o texto cansativo.

c)

Pistas tipogrficas

As pistas tipogrficas so elementos visuais que nos auxiliam na compreenso do texto. Ateno
com datas, nmeros, tabelas, grficos, figuras... So informaes tambm contidas no texto. Os
recursos de escrita tambm so pistas tipogrficas. Por exemplo:
... (trs pontos) indicam a continuao de uma ideia que no est ali exposta;
negrito d destaque a algum termo ou palavra;
itlico tambm destaca um termo, menos importante que o negrito;
(aspas) salientam a importncia de alguma palavra;
( ) (parnteses) introduzem uma ideia complementar ao texto.

d)

General Comprehension

A ideia geral de um texto obtida com o emprego das tcnicas anteriores. Selecionando-se
criteriosamente algumas palavras, termos e expresses no texto, poderemos chegar ideia geral
do texto.
Por exemplo, vamos ler o trecho abaixo e tentar obter a general comprehension deste
pargrafo:
Distance education takes place when a teacher and students are separated by physical
distance, and technology (i.e., voice, video and data), often in concert with face-to-face
communication, is used to bridge the instructional gap.

From: Engineering Outreach


College of Engineering University of Idaho

A partir das palavras cognatas do texto (em negrito) podemos ter uma ideia geral do que se trata;
vamos enumerar as palavras conhecidas (pelo menos as que so semelhantes ao Portugus):
distance education = educao a distancia
students = estudantes, alunos
separeted = separado
physical distance = distncia fsica
technology = tecnologia
voice, video, data = voz, vdeo e dados (ateno: data no data)
face-to-face communication = comunicao face-a-face
used = usado (a)
instructional = instrucional

Ento voc poderia dizer que o texto trata sobre educao a distncia; que esta ocorre quando os
alunos esto separados fisicamente do professor; a tecnologia (voz, vdeo, dados) podem ser
usados de forma instrucional.
Voc poderia ter esta concluso sobre o texto mesmo sem ter muito conhecimento de Ingls.
claro que medida que voc for aprendendo, a sua percepo sobre o texto tambm aumentar. H
muitas informaes que no so to bvias assim.

e)

Skimming

skim em ingls deslizar superfcie, desnatar (da skimmed milk = leite desnatado), passar os
olhos por. A tcnica de skimming nos leva a ler um texto superficialmente. Utilizar esta
tcnica significa que no precisamos ler cada sentena, mas sim passarmos os olhos por sobre o
texto, lendo algumas frases aqui e ali, procurando reconhecer certas palavras e expresses que
sirvam como dicas na obteno de informaes sobre o texto. s vezes no necessrio ler o
texto em detalhes. Para usar esta tcnica, precisamos nos valer dos nossos conhecimentos de
Ingls tambm.

Observe este trecho:


Using this integrated approach, the educators task is to carefully select among the
technological options. The goal is to build a mix of instructional media, meeting the needs of
the learner in a manner that is instructionally effective and economically prudent.
From: Engineering Outreach
College of Engineering University of Idaho

Selecionando algumas expresses teremos:


integrated approach = abordagem (approach = abordagem, enfoque) integrada
educators task = tarefa (task = tarefa) do educador s significa posse = do
tecnological options = opes tecnolgicas (tecnological adjetivo)
goal = objetivo
a mix instrucional media = uma mistura de mdia instrucional.
Com a tcnica do skimming podemos dizer que este trecho afirma que a tarefa do educador
selecionar as opes tecnolgicas; o objetivo ter uma mistura de mdias instrucionais de uma
maneira instrucionalmente efetiva e economicamente prudente.
f)

Scanning

Scan em Ingls quer dizer examinar, sondar, explorar. O que faz um scanner? Uma varredura,
no ?! Logo, com a tcnica de scanning voc ir fazer uma varredura do texto, procurando
detalhes e ideias objetivas. Aqui importante que voc utilize os conhecimentos de Ingls; por
isso, ns vamos ver detalhadamente alguns itens gramaticais.
Olhe este trecho:
Teaching and learning at a distance is demanding. However, learning will be more meaningful
and deeper for distant students, if students and their instructor share responsibility for
developing learning goals: actively interacting with class members; --promoting reflection on

experience; relating new information to examples that make sense to learners. This is the
challenge and the opportunity provided by distance education.
Poderamos perguntar qual o referente do pronome their em negrito no trecho?
Utilizando a tcnica de skimming, seria necessrio retornar ao texto e entender a sentena na qual
o pronome est sendo empregado. Their um pronome possessivo ( e como tal, sempre vem
acompanhado de um substantivo) da terceira pessoa do plural ( o seu referente um substantivo
no plural). A traduo de their instructor seria seu instrutor . Seu de quem? Lendo um pouco
para trs, vemos que h students; logo conclumos que their refere-se a students, ou seja,
instrutor dos alunos.

GRAMTICA

Antes de introduzir os tempos verbais, vamos ver os pronomes pessoais:

PRONOMES PESSOAIS

Sujeito

Objeto

I eu

me me, mim

preposies em ingls.

VERBOS E TEMPO VERBAIS - VERBS AND TENSES


Verbo a classe de palavras que nomeia, descreve um estado ou uma ao. A maioria dos verbos
em Ingls dividida em verbos regulares (regular verbs) e verbos irregulares (irregular verbs).
Os verbos irregulares so os que no so conjugados da mesma maneira que os regulares e para
os quais no existe uma regra geral; para cada verbo irregular h uma regra. Em Ingls, toda
a sentena precisa ter um verbo, pelo menos.
Os tempos verbais na Lngua Inglesa podem ser divididos basicamente em quatro grupos:
1. Simple Tenses;
2. Continuous Tenses / Progressive Tenses;

3. Perfect Tenses / Perfect Simple Tenses;


4. Perfect Continuous Tenses / Perfect Progressive Tenses.

Comearemos a estudar os verbos a partir do Verbo "to be", que um dos verbos mais
bsicos em lngua inglesa.

Verbo to be - Verb to be

em sua grafia, os nmeros ordinais so formados com a adio do sufixo -th.
A abreviao dos Ordinal Numbers feita acrescentando-se ao nmero as duas

Na grafia da abreviao, as duas ltimas letras podem ser elevadas:

35

Quando lemos ou escrevemos por extenso os nmeros ordinais em portugus, tanto na


dezena quanto na centena e no milhar, todos os algarismos vo para a forma ordinal. No
ingls, no entanto, apenas o ltimo algarismo vai para a forma ordinal:
21 - vigsimo primeiro = 21st - twenty-first
72 - septuagsimo segundo = 72nd - seventy-second
167 - centsimo sexagsimo stimo = 167th - one hundred and sixty-seventh

Entretanto, no ingls americano, tambm possvel dizer May thirteen.

Nmeros Romanos - Roman Numbers

Os nmeros Romanos (I, II, III, IV etc.) no so to comuns no ingls moderno, mas
ainda so utilizados em algumas situaes: nos nomes de reis e rainhas, na numerao das
pginas da introduo de alguns livros, nos nmeros dos pargrafos em certos documentos,
nos nmeros das questes em alguns exames, nos algarismos de alguns relgios e,
eventualmente, na representao dos sculos. Examples:
This table was bought in the time of Henry V. (Esta mesa foi comprada na poca de Henry
V.)
The XX Century actually ended on December, 31, 2000; not on December 31, 1999; as
many people think.
(O sculo vinte na realidade terminou em 31 de dezembro de 2000 e no em 31 de dezembro
de 1999, como muitos acreditam.)
For details, see introduction page iv. (Para mais detalhes, veja a pgina iv da introduo.)
Do question (vii) or question (viii) but not both.
[Faa ou a questo (vii) ou a (viii), mas no ambas.]

36

de ttulos em geral. Compare:
the fourth book - Book Four
the third act - Act Three
Mozart's thirty ninth symphony - Symphony No. 39 , by Mozart
the third day of the course - Timetable for Day Three
No entanto, os ttulos de reis, rainhas, papas, etc., que levam nmeros romanos

Louis XIV - Louis the Fourteenth
Elizabeth II - Elizabeth the Second
Pope Paul VI - Pope Paul the Sixth

ORGANIZING THE IDEAS IN ENGLISH

ESTRUTURA DAS FRASES EM INGLS

Subject + Verb + Objects and/or Other Complements


A estrutura das frases em ingls muita mais fixa do que no portugus. Inverses e
omisses de sujeito so permitidas no portugus, inclusive enriquecem a linguagem. Em ingls, a
ordem das palavras , praticamente, fixa. Pouqussimas inverses so permitidas e o sujeito deve
estar sempre presente, ocupando seu lugar na frase. Quando ele no existir, o It ou o there (que no
o l, apesar de ser escrito da mesma forma) preenchem o espao do mesmo.

Ao ler em ingls, deve-se ter em mente que:


Todas as frases tm um verbo
O sujeito em ingls explicito e formado por substantivos, pronomes ou estruturas
nominais (um conjunto formado de substantivo + palavras que possam
modifica-lo).
Normalmente as frases tm objetos (diretos/indiretos) e/ou outros complementos
como adjuntos adverbiais de tempo, lugar e outros.
Da mesma forma que o sujeito, tanto os adjuntos adverbiais quanto os objetos so
formados por substantivos, pronomes ou estruturas nominais.

TEXTOS

Dentistry
Dentistry began to emerge as a recognized specialty within medical surgery in seventeenth-century
Europe, although scattered examples of basic dental practice (especially extractions) and attention
to oral hygiene can be traced to earlier centuries. The French surgeon Pierre Fauchard, author of Le
Chirurgien Dentiste (1728), is generally recognized as the "father" of modern dentistry. Among his
select clientele was an occasional child, usually a daughter of one of his (mainly female) patients,
who would present with a badly carious, visible tooth that she was reluctant to extract because an
empty space or replacement tooth might threaten her physical appearance and social position.
Fauchard's creative solution, which apparently met with some success, was to withdraw the
diseased tooth and then replace it immediately in its socket. Beyond providing pain relief, Fauchard
and his contemporaries also experimented with new procedures to straighten misaligned teeth;
children ages twelve to fourteen were the principal clientele.
These early examples notwithstanding, it was rare for a child of any social class to visit a dentist in
the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Even among leading professional spokesmen, the
traditional view still held that children's primary (deciduous) teeth were expendable, unworthy of
financial investment, and unrelated to future oral health. The reparative treatment of carious teeth
improved in quality and gained in popularity during the late nineteenth century, but its primary
reliance on expensive gold fillings militated against its general extension to children. Extraction

62

remained the primary response to children's dental diseases. Trained dentistsfew in number,
located mainly in cities, and expensivewere largely peripheral to the extraction trade, which was
dominated by barbers, nostrum salesmen, and itinerant "tooth-pullers" who promised instant, painfree relief. Not surprisingly, business boomed for replacement teeth and prosthetic devices in the
nineteenth century, not just for the elderly but also for young adults who emerged from childhood
with few usable teeth and constant mouth pain. Dentists and craftsmen worked singly and
collaboratively to meet public demand and to improve the quality and fit of prosthetic devices
(famous portraits of George Washington's clenched mouth exemplified why technical
improvements were considered necessary). Dentists in the United States established clear
superiority in "mechanical dentistry" and in the production, quality, variety, and economy of
prosthetic devices.
Education, Child Welfare, and the Rise of Children's Dentistry
Children's dentistry emerged as a distinct subspecialty in Canada, Great Britain, and the United
States in the first half of the twentieth century. Oddly, the field took shape mainly outside rather
than inside dentists' offices, and under public rather than private sponsorship. Most dentists
remained ambivalent, if not hostile, to integrating children into their private practices. The
challenges and rewards of technically sophisticated, adult-oriented mechanical dentistry, not childoriented, poorly compensated, preventive dentistry, drove the bulk of the profession. Nonetheless, a
major shift in scientific direction, professional orientation, and public discourse about dental disease
was evident by the early 1900s. For the first time, dentists seriously questioned the panacea of
extraction and the presumed inevitability of toothlessness. A new gospel of "prevention" became a
clarion call for dentistry to transform its customary assumptions about children's dental needs, and
to make "mouth hygiene" a vital concern in medicine, public health, and education.
Several scientific advances in the 1880s and 1890s underlay the new viewpoint. Most important
were Dr. William Miller's "chemico-parasitic" theory, which described the bacteriological process
by which caries emerged under gelatinous plaques, and his "focal infection" theory, in which an
unclean oral cavity was seen as the prime avenue of penetration for infectious disease in children.
Also important in building professional confidence were Dr. Edward Angle's creative inventions for
straightening teeth, which raised hopes for addressing the entire range of difficult problems
surrounding malocclusion. New techniques and equipment for saving carious teeth with better,
longer lasting, and cheaper filling materials also promised a bright future for reparative dentistry.
Children's dentistry was integral to the Progressive Era's (18901920) wide-ranging child welfare
and Americanization campaigns, and, in particular, to the school health movement. Educational
programs made prevention the central theme of children's dentistry. While educators emphasized
the importance of nutrition and regular prophylaxis, they urged above all that children maintain
lengthy, stringent, technically perfect standards of brushing their teeth: three, four, and ideally five
times per day. Mothers as much as children were the audience for the new conventional wisdom. As
with other elements of the Progressive child welfare agenda, mothers were assigned major
responsibility for sparing their children needless pain and suffering, and thereby ensuring their
success in school and assimilation into American life.
The provision of operative treatment via schools and clinics was the boldest innovation of earlytwentieth-century children's dentistry. In the 1910s, several dozen dental clinics were established
exclusively or primarily to serve children in public schools and in local health departments; a few
clinics with private support, most notably in Boston and Rochester, were also founded. These
clinics brought prevention-and-treatment oriented dentistry to the masses for the first time. In many
clinics, dentists not only inspected children's teeth but also performed reparative treatments and
extractions. Equally innovative was the introduction of regular prophylaxis, usually performed by

63

members of the new, entirely female, school-centered specialty of dental hygienists. Despite its
acknowledged importance in caries prevention, prophylaxis was time-consuming, laborious, and
generated low fees. Dentists rarely performed prophylaxes in their private offices until hygienists or
comparably trained assistants became more widely available. Although male dentists provided most
school- and clinic-based operative service, it was lower-level women professionalsteachers,
nurses, and hygienistswho mainly carried the banner of children's dentistry, much as in other areas
of Progressive child-welfare reform.
A small corps of women dentists also emerged in the early twentieth century that began to focus
primarily on children. M. Evangeline Jordon was arguably the first specialist in children's dentistry,
beginning in 1909. Jordon authored the field's first expert textbook, Operative Dentistry for
Children, in 1925. In his preface to Jordon's text, the prominent dental scholar Rodrigues Ottolengui
observed that prior to 1915 he "had never heard of a dentist specializing exclusively in dentistry for
children," and that "Dr. Jordon, so far as we have been able to learn, was the first dentist to practice
exclusively for children, and thus she is the pioneer pedodontist of the United States, and perhaps of
the world" (p. vii). In 1927, around the time of her retirement as a practitioner, a small group of
dentists formed the American Society for the Promotion of Dentistry for Children, based on a
common understanding that "if children are to be served, general dentists would have to provide
most of the treatment." In 1933, the Journal of Dentistry for Children was founded.
General dentists did begin to serve children in larger numbers during the Great Depression, but
mainly as paid employees in schools and clinics that expanded under government auspices. The
Depression brought considerable hardship for dentists, and publicly funded programs in school and
clinic settings were essential for their professional survival. Now numbering in the hundreds, these
clinics provided around half of the total amount of dental treatment that children received from any
source during the 1930s. (As the draft examinations in World War II would reveal, however, the
oral health of American children and youth was still abominable, especially in rural communities
and in the South, where publicly financed school and dental clinics never took hold.) Thus, out of
necessity more than design or desire, children and dentists were no longer strangers to one another.
A base of professional experience and client expectation for integrating children into general
dentistry had been laid. Signifying the subspecialty's gradual arrival at professional legitimacy, the
American Society for the Promotion of Dentistry for Children was renamed the American Society
of Dentistry for Children in 1940.
Toward the Cavity Free Child: New Advances and New Horizons in Children's Dentistry
The provision of free reparative and restorative dentistry to several million servicemen during
World War II also did much to create a new consumer base for children's dentistry in the postwar
era. With the return of prosperity, this potential was soon realizedbut now in the private rather than
in the public sector. In the decade following the war, the private practice of American dentistry
boomed as never before, and the share of children receiving private dental care expanded
dramatically. By the late 1950s, nearly half of the school-age population was visiting a dentist about
once per year. Organized dentistrywhich, unlike organized medicine, had largely supported free
school and clinic dental programs for children during the previous half-centuryadopted a
condescending stance toward such programs in the 1950s, claiming that they provided inferior
treatment, used outdated equipment, misled parents about their children's true dental needs, and
were no longer necessary. School clinics and other public agencies that had grown accustomed to
calling upon unemployed or underemployed dentists on an hourly per capita or fee basis to treat
children now found that dentists no longer had the time or financial inclination to participate in such
arrangements. The long-sought ideal of the "family dentist" was finally becoming a reality.

64

An equally major change emerged in the postwar years that would profoundly transform children's
oral health by the 1980s. This was the discovery of the preventive possibilities of fluorides for
dental caries. Schools returned briefly in the 1970s to a central role in children's dentistry as the
National Institute of Dental Research launched a major publicity campaign to convince educators
and dentists alike that school-based fluoride rinse programs represented the most cost-effective,
school-based means available to prevent tooth decay. By 1980, nearly one-quarter of the nation's
school districts were participating in fluoride rinse programs, which may have reached as many as 8
million children. Although bitter fights over water fluoridation occurred in numerous communities,
with some opponents casting fluoridation as a Communist plot, the fluoridation of water supplies
grew rapidly in the postwar era. By the end of the 1950s, nearly two thousand communities serving
over 33 million people had fluoridated their water supplies. By 1980, over eight thousand
communities and more than half of the U.S. population was drinking from artificially or naturally
fluoridated water supplies.
In addition, the advent of fluoride-based toothpastes beginning in the 1960s and the growing
availability of fluoride mouth rinses in the 1970s further increased the likelihood that children,
whether their community had fluoridated its water supply or not, had ready access to fluorides'
preventive possibilities. The impact of pervasive exposure to fluorides on children's dental health
was spectacular. By the late 1970s, a precipitous nationwide decline in the incidence of dental
caries was evident, in non-fluoridated as well as in fluoridated communities. Dentists began to
report substantial growth in the numbers of cavity free children, who were virtually unknown just
two decades earlier. While the precise causes were uncertain, the omnipresence of fluorides in the
food chain, as well as their widespread ingestion via community water supplies, tablets, mouth
rinses, and toothpastes, contributed substantially to the decline.
By the beginning of the twenty-first century, the perceived crisis in "mouth hygiene" that had given
rise to the specialty of children's dentistry was clearly over. To be sure, dental caries still
compromise children's health, and some subgroups of children, particularly among the
disadvantaged, continue to suffer disproportionately from caries. But leaders in the field have
understandably turned their attention to a variety of new issues and unmet needs. These include
paying more attention to periodontal diseases in children; intervening earlier to treat malocclusions;
grounding dentistchild relations more consistently on scientific principles of child development;
extending dental care to disabled children; expanding the dentist's responsibility in recognizing
child abuse and neglect; managing medically compromised patients, such as those with AIDS; and
inventing a caries vaccine. Concerns about aesthetic issues as well as health issues led to growing
rates of treatment with braces and other straightening devices from the mid-twentieth century
onward.
Perhaps bolder still, some leaders in "preschool dentistry" insist that the relatively recently
established ideal age for children to see a dentist for the first timeage threeis in fact far too late to
preserve optimal dental health. Instead, they recommend that parents schedule their child's first
dental appointment between six months and one year of age. The entire field of preschool dentistry
was inconceivable a century ago. But its basic premise remains consistent with that of Jordon and
other pioneers in early-twentieth-century children's dentistry: "The prevention of disease can never
be started too early" (Pinkham, p. 4).

6. Sedation Dentistry Takes


the Fear Out Of Going To
The Dentist
Millions of people are afraid of going to the dentist. Some would rather walk through a
burning building, while others are so terrified that no matter how much pain they are in
they refuse to even schedule an appointment, much less follow through. The world of
dentistry has had an uphill battle to convince many people they have made great strides
in the area of pain management and control. One way to address the issue is by talking
about the possibility of Sedation Dentistry.

7. Who would benefit from Sedation Dentistry?


It is not uncommon for a dentist to see a patient who has gone without any form of dental
treatment for 10 to 30 years, or more. A childhood experience may have caused this fear,
either from a dentist they did not like, gag reflexes, the smell of the dental office, fear of
needles, or horror stories told by their big brother. Some may not have actually had any
bad experiences themselves, but shrink from the thought of hearing drills or getting an

67

impression.
There are two main types of patients who will benefit from Sedation Dentistry those
who have fear-based discomfort and those who have some degree of fear, but are more
in a rush. These patients want to have as few appointments as possible in order for them
to get on with their busy life.
No matter the reason, people need to understand that vast strides have been made to
make dentistry virtually pain-free either with drugs taken before their appointment,
hypnotherapy, or as a last resort an injection.
Going without proper dental care can lead to cavities, loss of teeth, receding gums, jaw
pain, misaligned bite. Infections from abscesses, gone untreated, can not only be
unhealthy, but fatal. For these reasons, the world of dentistry has tried to show that there
is such a thing as pain-free dentistry.
11.
8. Qualification needed from Doctor and Staff
One area of pain control and assurance that has been explored in depth is
Sedation Dentistry, quickly becoming one of the many new innovations dentists
have added to their services. The dental industry has found that being able to
help those who would otherwise go without treatment can be life saving as well as
beneficial to their practice.
Dentists who administer Sedation undergo special training and certification. Some
states, like California, require permits if they plan to administer medication
dosages that exceed the FDA minimum requirements. This would require them to
have 25 hours of training, and renewed every 2 years.
The dentist and staff will be well trained and make the extra effort needed to put
their patient at ease. They will need to hone their compassion and communication
skills in order to calm the patients fears.
9. How Oral Sedation Works
Oral sedation is typically safe, but in order for a dentist to administer treatment
they will need a complete history, which includes a list of allergies, medications
that are being taken, and any current illness such as diabetes. The patients
doctor will be consulted to assure that every precaution will be taken and there is
no interaction of medications. Blood pressure and pulse are to be constantly
supervised to ensure any problems are detected immediately.
Although oral sedation is safe for most people, there are exceptions, like
pregnancy and people who are taking medications that will not react well together.
Some patients will be given an oral sedative to take the evening prior to their
appointment. A supplement, with a low dose of nitrous oxide during administration
of a local anesthetic may be required. Patients are NOT put to sleep, but rather in
a relaxed state. After the appointment is complete post-operative instructions are
given to the patient and their escort (they should never drive home after this
treatment is completed). They will then return home to rest.
As an added bonus, many patients may experience a small spell of amnesia,

68

where they may not even remember they were at the dentist.

Are X-ray Images in Dentistry Important?

Watch Dental Video about X-ray Images in Dentistry

69

12. The most common imaging procedures are single images and panoramic
images, also referred to as a panorex.
The quality of X-ray images has improved significantly in recent years; whether
theyre taken with the help of single images or panoramic processes, they have
high informative value that should benefit the patient.
When selecting a respective radiological procedure, one must always follow the
principle that the imaging technology should yield the optimum amount of
diagnostic information. If the information value of the chosen technology is
significantly higher compared to other procedures, then this approach should be
given preference even if radiation exposure is higher. Theres no doubt about the
value of the panorex (OPTG) as an overview image; its proven to be practically
indispensible in orthognathic surgery and orthodontic diagnoses.
Panoramic systems have significantly improved in recent years. Thus, modern
devices have multi-pulse generators and a computer controlled system that can
adjust the trajectory to any special issues that the patient may have. Various digital
systems can also be used for panoramic technology today.
A panorex is still subject to a number of process-related restrictions compared to a
single image; for example, the resolution is lower and the projection geometry and
position dont correspond to the individual requirements of every jaw area, not even
in modern digital systems.
The combination of film and intensifying screens in analog systems mean that fine
structures (also depending on the region) cannot be displayed in an optimal
fashion, especially if they differ very little from the environment in their absorption.
Initial Caries
Some advantages should be expected from the dynamics and image processing of
digital systems; nevertheless, some limitations remain. In special cases, the
orthopantomogram advises that a specific X-ray finding by means of single image
shots is required. This means that the panorex doesnt fulfill all the diagnostic
requirements in answering certain questions when it comes to dental preservation,
periodontology, and prosthetics.
Even though panorexes sometimes allow for the recognition of contact point caries,
marginal bone recession, or other circumscribed pathological changes, discrete
findings are not always recognizable because of a blurring of the film. Single
images are unmatched when it comes to reproduction of details. Therefore, this Xray technology must be applied when its important to recognize fine details such
as, for example, recognizing hidden approximal caries.
This also applies to a variety of other issues. Therefore, using only panorex
technology is only appropriate to a limited degree. However, in most cases, the
panorex can replace the single image nowadays. The advantages of the panorex
are: Very small time expenditure, standardized projection, wider imaging area, and
less risk.
Furthermore, the wide imaging area gives the panorex special importance in early

70

diagnosis of changes in the maxillo-facial region. Each of these two imaging


procedures has its designated, scientifically founded use; when seen this way, it
can be said that both are highly important tools for diagnosing dental, oral and
maxillar diseases.
