Imperial War Museum

Founded in 1917, the Imperial War Museum London is a fascinating place to visit. Millions of visitors come to the museum each year. The majority are school groups that visit to learn about the two world wars. There are displays on the history of military technology and weapons as well as personal accounts of the people who experienced war. In addition to these exhibits, the museum also holds a sizeable collection of art and film related to the First and Second World Wars. A significant proportion of the museum’s holdings are official photos of the military taken during the wars. The oldest exhibits at the museum relate to Victoria Cross winners and the Holocaust.

The Imperial War Museum has recently released concept sketches for new galleries that will open in 2021, related to a vivid narrative of the war and the Holocaust, and will draw heavily on personal stories. Rather than focusing on the enemy, the Imperial War Museum tends to focus on the British and Commonwealth forces involved, with large pieces of artefacts and uniforms. It portrays British soldiers as innocent bystanders trying to maintain the peace. The main blurb for the post-second world war section ignores history. The first section of the museum depicts two pairs of soldiers shaking hands through a ‘wall of prejudices’. The image is a subtle question of how anonymous masses consented to war.

The Imperial War Museum is a national institution that seeks to convey the reality of war. It is intended to strengthen images of the nation’s collective experience. The museum was created during wartime and was envisaged as a memorial. The committee also envisaged the museum as a place for historians and technicians to study. The first Commissioner of Works spoke at the opening ceremony. He referred to the museum as a record of sacrifice for the people of the Empire. It was meant to serve as a national war memorial.

Hall Technique

Image
The Hall Technique is a non-invasive dental treatment for managing decayed baby molars without the need for injections or drilling, significantly improving the patient's comfort. This method involves sealing the decay under preformed stainless steel crowns , aligning with modern, biologically-oriented dental care strategies. Notably preferred by children, parents, and dentists , this technique is backed by evidence demonstrating its effectiveness and acceptability, providing a more patient-friendly alternative to traditional fillings . Despite initial concerns about potential progression of sealed caries, long-term studies have shown that the Hall Technique can successfully arrest decay, reducing the risk of pain and infection associated with untreated carious teeth . Originating from the work of Dr. Norna Hall in Scotland, this technique simplifies the restoration of primary molars by cementing a crown directly over the decayed tooth without prior caries removal or tooth prepa...

Replacing multiple teeth with dental implant supported prostheses. Is that possible?

Replacement of multiple teeth follows generally the same process as replacement of one tooth. However, if two adjacent teeth are required to be replaced they can be supported on a single implant. The entire set of teeth in a jaw can be supported on a minimum of four implants, while in some cases up to […] Original post here: Replacing multiple teeth with dental implant supported prostheses.
