Exercise 4. Read the text and divide it into logical parts.

            Dental aid is usually rendered at stomatological polyclinics. As a rule a stomatological polyclinic is well-planned and com­fortable. It has all modern conveniences. There are many dental surgeries, a laboratory, an X-ray room, an electropathic room and other rooms here. Many specialists work here. They perform all kinds of dental work: the treatment of diseases of the dental pulp, extractions and laboratory tests, correcting the bite, the treatment of gum diseases, the design and fit of bridgework and dentures to replace missing teeth, all kinds of restorative work. Before the treatment of a disease it is necessary to make a diagnosis, determine its aetiology, patho­genesis as well as the symptoms by which it can be revealed.

A number of different procedures are used to make a diagnosis: history taking, physical examination, which includes visual examination, palpation, laboratory studies, instrumental studies, for example, X-ray examination and others.

Dental treatment is at times a very painful procedure. If a cavity is discovered at an early stage, the tooth can be set right without any pain. Only when it is neglected the patient has some unpleasant sensations. Dentists try to do something about this. They envolve new methods of dental treatment and new anodynes. Soon people will forget everything about their fears.

AT THE DENTAL SURGERY

If it is necessary the dentists treat the patients at dental surgeries. A modern dental surgery is a large and light hall. One can see some uni­versal equipment here to fulfill the needs of the dentist. First of all there are units including engines with arm-chairs for the patients. These are quite modern easy-to-use dental unit sys­tems. The patients can sit or lie in the arm-chair. There are also small chairs for the dentists, they are movable and comfortable. There is an instrument table or an instrument holder near every arm-chair. It can be easily moved to be at the dentist's dispos­al. You can see some instruments on it. Usually there is a tray with a set of instruments such as: an explorer, a mixing pad, a pincett, a dental mirror, a probe and some others.

There are also instrument cupboards with many instruments in them. We can see temporary filling materials, composites, cements, glass-ionomers, bonding systems for restoration work; reamers, files, paper and guttapercha points, seals for endodontics; splints, trays, matrixes, impression materials for orthopaedic work; dental cotton rolls, rubber dam, prophy paste, saliva ejector for hygienic purposes. Hygiene is very important in the work of a dentist, that's why all the instruments are careful­ly cleaned or disinfected.
