INGLÊS INSTRUMENTAL – UNINORTE - LAURETE
PROF. ALBA DE OLIVEIRA
O INGLÊS COMO LÍNGUA INTERNACIONAL
Assim como não é a direção do vento que determina o rumo do navegador, não é a língua que
o mundo fala que determinará 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 Schütz
Atualizado em 3 de junho de 2009
O PASSADO
Analfabetismo era comum na Idade Média. Quando um rei precisava comunicar-se com outro,
contratava um escriba para desenhar a mensagem em linguagem escrita. É fato sabido, por
exemplo, que Carlos Magno, no século VIII, era analfabeto. A inexistência da imprensa
dificultava a padronização 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
razão pela qual em 1500 a expedição portuguesa sob o comando de Pedro Álvares Cabral
trouxe Pero Vaz de Caminha como escrivão da armada.
Por volta de 1700 o índice de pessoas alfabetizadas na Europa era de apenas de 30 a 40 por
cento. Esse mesmo índice, por volta de 1850, já era de 50 a 55 por cento, enquanto que durante
a segunda metade do século 19 a habilidade de escrever tornou-se uma qualificação básica do
ser humano. No século 20 o analfabetismo tornou-se definitivamente uma deficiência
intolerável em qualquer plano social, em qualquer profissão. Um analfabeto nos países
desenvolvidos de hoje seria uma pessoa totalmente marginalizada.
Isto que aconteceu com a habilidade de ler e escrever, está começando a acontecer com a
habilidade de se dominar uma segunda língua. Se compararmos a importância de se falar uma
língua estrangeira 50 anos atrás com a necessidade hoje da pessoa ser bilíngue, pode-se
facilmente entender a ameaça que o monolinguismo representa e imaginar o problema em que
se constituirá quando nossos filhos tornarem-se adultos.
2
FATOS HISTÓRICOS RECENTES
A história, ao coroar o inglês como língua do mundo, sentenciou o monolinguismo nos países
de língua não-inglesa a se tornar o analfabetismo do futuro. Mas como isso aconteceu?
Em primeiro lugar, devido ao grande poderio econômico da Inglaterra no século 19, alavancado
pela Revolução Industrial, e a consequente expansão do colonialismo britânico, o qual chegou a
alcançar uma vasta abrangência geográfica e uma igualmente vasta disseminação da língua
inglesa.
Em segundo lugar, devido ao poderio político-militar do EUA a partir da segunda guerra
mundial, e à marcante influência econômica e cultural resultante, que acabou por deslocar o
Francês dos meios diplomáticos e solidificar o inglês na posição de padrão das comunicações
internacionais.
O PRESENTE
A atual busca de informação aliada à necessidade de comunicação em nível mundial já fez com
que o inglês fosse promovido de língua dos povos americano, britânico, irlandês, australiano,
neozelandês, canadense, caribenhos, e sul-africano, a língua internacional. Enquanto que o
português é atualmente falado em 4 países por cerca de 195 milhões de pessoas, o inglês é
falado como língua materna por cerca de 400 milhões de pessoas, tendo já se tornado a língua
franca, o Latim dos tempos modernos, falado em todos os continentes por cerca de 800 milhões
de pessoas (Todd iv, minha tradução).
Estimativas mais radicais, incluindo falantes com níveis de menor percepção e fluência,
sugerem a existência atualmente de um total superior a um bilhão. (Crystal 360, minha
tradução)
Além disso, há estimativas de que 85% das publicações científicas do mundo; 75% de toda
comunicação internacional por escrito, 80% da informação armazenada em todos os
computadores do mundo e 90% do conteúdo da Internet são em inglês.
Acrescente-se a isso a redução de custos de passagens aéreas, o que aumenta contatos
internacionais em nível interpessoal. Em paralelo, a atual revolução das telecomunicações
proporcionada pela informática, pela fibra ótica, e por satélites, despejando informações via TV
ou colocando o conhecimento da humanidade ao alcance de todos via INTERNET, cria o
conceito de autoestrada de informações. Estes dois fatores bem demonstram como o mundo
3
evoluiu a ponto de tornar-se uma vila global, e o quanto necessário é que se estabeleça uma
linguagem comum.
Ao assumir este papel de língua global, o inglês torna-se uma das mais importantes ferramentas,
tanto acadêmicas quanto profissionais. É hoje inquestionavelmente reconhecido como a língua
mais importante a ser adquirida na atual comunidade internacional. Este fato é incontestável e
parece ser irreversível. O inglês acabou tornando-se o meio de comunicação por excelência
tanto do mundo científico como do mundo de negócios.
Philip B. Gove, no seu prefácio ao Webster's Third New International Dictionary ilustra:
Parece bastante claro que antes do término do século 20 todas as comunidades do mundo vão
ter aprendido a se comunicar com o resto da humanidade. Neste processo de intercomunicação
a língua inglesa já se tornou a língua mais importante no planeta. (5a, minha tradução)
E David Crystal acrescenta:
À medida que o inglês se torna o principal meio de comunicação entre as nações, é crucial
garantirmos que seja ensinado com precisão e eficientemente. (3, minha tradução)
O FUTURO
Hoje já é previsível que dinheiro e riqueza material serão substituídos por informação e
conhecimento, como fatores determinantes na estruturação da futura sociedade humana e
proficiência na linguagem de então será essencial para se alcançar sucesso.

Técnicas de Leitura
As técnicas de leitura, como o próprio nome diz, vão nos ajudar a ler um texto. Existem
técnicas variadas, mas veremos as mais utilizadas. Ao ler um texto em Inglês, lembre-se de usar
as técnicas aprendidas, elas vão ajudá-lo. O uso da gramática vai ajudar também.
As principais técnicas são: a identificação de cognatos, de palavras repetidas e de pistas
tipográficas. Ao lermos um texto vamos, ainda, apurar a ideia geral do texto (general
comprehension) e utilizar duas outras técnicas bastante úteis: skimming e scanning.
a) Cognatos
Os cognatos são palavras muito parecidas com as palavras do Português. São as chamadas
palavras transparentes. Existem também os falsos cognatos, que são palavras que achamos que
é tal coisa, mas não é; os falsos cognatos são em menor número, estes nós veremos adiante.
Como cognatos podemos citar: school (escola), telephone (telefone), car (carro), question
(questão, pergunta), activity (atividade), training (treinamento)... Você mesmo poderá criar sua
própria lista de cognatos!
b) Palavras repetidas
As palavras repetidas em um texto possuem um valor muito importante. Um autor não repete as
palavras em vão. Se elas são repetidas, é porque são importantes dentro de texto. Muitas vezes
para não repetir o mesmo termo, o autor utiliza sinônimos das mesmas palavras para não tornar
o texto cansativo.
c) Pistas tipográficas
As pistas tipográficas são elementos visuais que nos auxiliam na compreensão do texto. Atenção
com datas, números, tabelas, gráficos, figuras... São informações também contidas no texto. Os
recursos de escrita também são pistas tipográficas. Por exemplo:
... (três pontos) indicam a continuação de uma ideia que não está ali exposta;
negrito dá destaque a algum termo ou palavra;
itálico também destaca um termo, menos importante que o negrito;
‘’ ‘’ (aspas) salientam a importância de alguma palavra;
( ) (parênteses) introduzem uma ideia complementar ao texto.
5
d) General Comprehension
A ideia geral de um texto é obtida com o emprego das técnicas anteriores. Selecionando-se
criteriosamente algumas palavras, termos e expressões no texto, poderemos chegar à ideia geral
do texto.
Por exemplo, vamos ler o trecho abaixo e tentar obter a “general comprehension” deste
parágrafo:
“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 são semelhantes ao Português):
distance education = educação a distancia
students = estudantes, alunos
separeted = separado
physical distance = distância física
technology = tecnologia
voice, video, data = voz, vídeo e dados (atenção: “data” não é data)
face-to-face communication = comunicação face-a-face
used = usado (a)
instructional = instrucional
Então você poderia dizer que o texto trata sobre educação a distância; que esta ocorre quando os
alunos estão separados fisicamente do professor; a tecnologia (voz, vídeo, dados) podem ser
usados de forma instrucional.
Você poderia ter esta conclusão sobre o texto mesmo sem ter muito conhecimento de Inglês. É
claro que à medida que você for aprendendo, a sua percepção sobre o texto também aumentará. Há
muitas informações que não são tão óbvias assim.
6
e) Skimming
“skim” em inglês é deslizar à superfície, desnatar (daí skimmed milk = leite desnatado), passar os
olhos por. A técnica de “skimming” nos leva a ler um texto superficialmente. Utilizar esta
técnica significa que não precisamos ler cada sentença, mas sim passarmos os olhos por sobre o
texto, lendo algumas frases aqui e ali, procurando reconhecer certas palavras e expressões que
sirvam como ‘dicas’ na obtenção de informações sobre o texto. Às vezes não é necessário ler o
texto em detalhes. Para usar esta técnica, precisamos nos valer dos nossos conhecimentos de
Inglês também.
Observe este trecho:
“Using this integrated approach, the educator’s 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 expressões teremos:
integrated approach = abordagem (approach = abordagem, enfoque) integrada
educator’s task = tarefa (task = tarefa) do educador – ‘s significa posse = do
tecnological options = opções tecnológicas (tecnological é adjetivo)
goal = objetivo
a mix instrucional media = uma mistura de mídia instrucional.
Com a técnica do “skimming” podemos dizer que este trecho afirma que a tarefa do educador é
selecionar as opções tecnológicas; o objetivo é ter uma mistura de mídias instrucionais de uma
maneira instrucionalmente efetiva e economicamente prudente.
f) Scanning
“Scan” em Inglês quer dizer examinar, sondar, explorar. O que faz um scanner? Uma varredura,
não é?! Logo, com a técnica de “scanning” você irá fazer uma varredura do texto, procurando
detalhes e ideias objetivas. Aqui é importante que você utilize os conhecimentos de Inglês; por
isso, nós 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
7
experience; relating new information to examples that make sense to learners. This is the
challenge and the opportunity provided by distance education.”
Poderíamos perguntar qual o referente do pronome “ their” em negrito no trecho?
Utilizando a técnica de skimming, seria necessário retornar ao texto e entender a sentença na qual
o pronome está sendo empregado. “Their “ é um pronome possessivo ( e como tal, sempre vem
acompanhado de um substantivo) da terceira pessoa do plural ( o seu referente é um substantivo
no plural). A tradução de “their instructor” seria seu instrutor . Seu de quem? Lendo um pouco
para trás, vemos que há “students”; logo concluímos que “their” refere-se a “students, ou seja,
instrutor dos alunos”.

GRAMÁTICA
Antes de introduzir os tempos verbais, vamos ver os pronomes pessoais:
PRONOMES PESSOAIS
Sujeito Objeto
I – eu me – me, mim
you – tu, você you – o, a,te, você, lhe
he – ele
she - ela
it – ele, ela - neutro
him – o, lhe
her – a, lhe
it – o, a, lhe
we - nós us - nos
you – vós, vocês you – os, as, você, lhes
they- eles, elas them – os, as, lhes
O pronome IT é utilizado quando nos referimos a objetos, animais ou fenômenos da
natureza.
Observe os exemplos:
Mary loves John. Mary loves him.
Mary talks about John. Mary talks about him.
Os pronomes pessoais objetos são usados como objetos de verbos, isto é, após verbos e
preposições em inglês.
VERBOS E TEMPO VERBAIS - VERBS AND TENSES
Verbo é a classe de palavras que nomeia, descreve um estado ou uma ação. A maioria dos verbos
em Inglês é dividida em verbos regulares (regular verbs) e verbos irregulares (irregular verbs).
Os verbos irregulares são os que não são conjugados da mesma maneira que os regulares e para
os quais não existe uma regra geral; para cada verbo irregular há uma regra. Em Inglês, toda
a sentença precisa ter um verbo, pelo menos.
Os tempos verbais na Língua Inglesa podem ser divididos basicamente em quatro grupos:
1. Simple Tenses;
2. Continuous Tenses / Progressive Tenses;
9
3. Perfect Tenses / Perfect Simple Tenses;
4. Perfect Continuous Tenses / Perfect Progressive Tenses.
Começaremos a estudar os verbos a partir do Verbo "to be", que é um dos verbos mais
básicos em língua inglesa.
Verbo to be - Verb to be
O verbo to be significa ser e estar em português e, além desses dois significados, este verbo é
muito usado no sentido de ficar (tornar-se). Observe os usos e as formas deste verbo:
- USOS:
Usa-se o verbo to be:
1. Para identificar e descrever pessoas e objetos:
Richard is my friend. (Ricardo é meu amigo.)
I am Italian. (Eu sou Italiano.)
I'm from Spain. (Eu sou da Espanha.)
It is a computer. (Isto é um computador.)
They will be at the club waiting for me. (Eles estarão no clube esperando por mim.)
They are French actors. (Eles são atores franceses.)
Your mother will be very happy if you tell the truth. (Sua mãe ficará muito feliz se você falar a
verdade.)
I will be very grateful to you. (Eu ficarei muito grato a você.)
Is she your sister? (Ela é sua irmã?)
2. Nas expressões de tempo, idade* e lugar:
It was raining this morning. (Hoje de manhã estava chovendo.)
It is sunny today. (Hoje o dia está ensolarado.)
I am twenty years old. (Tenho vinte anos.)
We are spending our vacation in San Francisco.
(Estamos passando nossas férias em São
Francisco.)
Rachel is four years older than me.
(Raquel é quatro anos mais velha do que eu.)
*OBSERVAÇÃO: Nas expressões que se referem a idades o verbo to be equivale ao verbo ter,
em Português.

Present Continuous
O presente contínuo deve ser usado para expressar uma situação que está em progresso, ou seja,
uma ação que ainda está acontecendo. Todo nosso “ando”, “endo” e “indo” dos verbos em
português devem ser trocados em inglês por “ing”.
A construção do presente contínuo deve ser dada segundo a forma:
Sujeito + verbo to be + verbo com “ing” + complemento
She is studying English now. (Ela está estudando inglês agora).
Para a forma negativa, basta acrescentar o “not” após o verbo “to be” (am, is are).
Ex:
He is not playing the electric guitar at this moment. (Ele não está tocando guitarra neste exato
momento).
She is not listening to music. (Ela não está ouvindo música).
They are not helping their mother. (Eles não estão ajudando a mãe deles).
Para elaborar uma frase interrogativa é necessário colocar o verbo “to be” no início da frase:
Is Mariane talking to Bob? (A Mariane está conversando com o Bob?)
Is Susan watching the soap opera? (A Susan está assistindo a novela?)
Are the kids playing on the backyard? (As crianças estão brincando no quintal?)
Obs:
1- Deve-se retirar o “e” dos verbos terminados com essa letra, antes de se acrescentar o “ing”.
Ex: to ride (andar)
to dance (dançar)
She is riding a bike now. (Ela está andando de bicicleta agora).
She is dancing ballet. (Ela está dançando balé).
2- Deve-se dobrar a última letra dos verbos monossílabos terminados em CVC (consoante, vogal,
consoante) antes de se acrescentar o “ing”.
Ex: to swim (nadar)
to put (colocar)
33
He is swimming on the lake. (Ele está nadando no lago).
She is putting the folders in the drawer. (Ela está colocando as pastas na gaveta).

Numbers
0 zero 10 ten 20 Twenty 100 one hundred
1 one 11 eleven 21 twenty-one 200 two hundred
2 two 12 twelve 22 twenty-three 300 three hundred
3 three 13 thirteen 30 Thirty 400 four hundred

34
Observação Como se vê no caso dos números 21 e 22, a partir do 20 (twenty), formam-se os outros números em
inglês por justaposição.
Veja mais exemplos:
28 - Twenty-eight
47 - Forty-seven
102 - One hundred-two
263 - Two hundred-sixty-three
1002 - One thousand-two
3627 - Three thousand-six-hundred-twenty-seven.
Números Ordinais - Ordinal Numbers
Os Ordinal Numbers indicam a ordem ou lugar do ser numa determinada série. À
exceção de first (primeiro), second (segundo), third (terceiro) e os números que os contém
em sua grafia, os números ordinais são formados com a adição do sufixo -th.
A abreviação dos Ordinal Numbers é feita acrescentando-se ao número as duas
últimas letras de sua forma extensa. Por exemplo:
abreviação /por extenso abreviação /por extenso
1st - first 30th - Thirtieth
2nd - second 50th - Fiftieth
3rd - third 62nd - sixty-second
4th - fourth 73rd - seventy-third
5th - fifth 85th - eighty-fifth
9th - ninth 99th - ninety-ninth
12th - twelfth 133th - (one/a) hundred and thirty-third
21st - twenty-first 518th - five hundred and eighteenth
Na grafia da abreviação, as duas últimas letras podem ser elevadas:
35
Quando lemos ou escrevemos por extenso os números ordinais em português, tanto na
dezena quanto na centena e no milhar, todos os algarismos vão para a forma ordinal. No
inglês, no entanto, apenas o último algarismo vai para a forma ordinal:
21º - vigésimo primeiro = 21st - twenty-first
72º - septuagésimo segundo = 72nd - seventy-second
167º - centésimo sexagésimo sétimo = 167th - one hundred and sixty-seventh
Repare que, nos números ordinais acima de 100, o uso da conjunção and segue as
mesmas regras dos cardinais:
205th – two hundred and fifth
440th – four hundred and fortieth
Números Ordinais em datas - Ordinal Numbers in dates:
Uma mesma data pode ser expressa de diversas maneiras. Por exemplo, a data 13 de
maio pode ser escrita das seguintets formas: May 13 / May 13th / 13 May / 13th May.
O modo como se fala é geralmente May the thirteenth ou The thirteen of May.
Entretanto, no inglês americano, também é possível dizer May thirteen.
Números Romanos - Roman Numbers
Os números Romanos (I, II, III, IV etc.) não são tão comuns no inglês moderno, mas
ainda são utilizados em algumas situações: nos nomes de reis e rainhas, na numeração das
páginas da introdução de alguns livros, nos números dos parágrafos em certos documentos,
nos números das questões em alguns exames, nos algarismos de alguns relógios e,
eventualmente, na representação dos séculos. Examples:
This table was bought in the time of Henry V. (Esta mesa foi comprada na época de Henry
V.)
The XX Century actually ended on December, 31, 2000; not on December 31, 1999; as
many people think.
(O século vinte na realidade terminou em 31 de dezembro de 2000 e não em 31 de dezembro
de 1999, como muitos acreditam.)
For details, see introduction page iv. (Para mais detalhes, veja a página iv da introdução.)
Do question (vii) or question (viii) but not both.
[Faça ou a questão (vii) ou a (viii), mas não ambas.]
36
IMPORTANT REMARKS!
Após um substantivo, geralmente utiliza-se um número cardinal para se falar
de títulos 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 títulos de reis, rainhas, papas, etc., que levam números romanos
em sua escrita, falam-se com números ordinais:
Henry VIII - Henry the Eighth
Louis XIV - Louis the Fourteenth
Elizabeth II - Elizabeth the Second
Pope Paul VI - Pope Paul the Sixth
Leitura dos numerais cardinais
310 – three hundred (and) ten
5,642 – five thousand, six hundred (and) forty-two
7,001 – seven thousand (and) one
Leitura dos meses e dos dias
12/31 – December ( the) thirty-first
06/18 – June ( the) eighteenth
Leitura dos anos
455 – four hundred (and) fifty-five
1908 – nineteen o eight
1998 – nineteen ninety-eight
2005 – twenty hundred and five

ORGANIZING THE IDEAS IN ENGLISH
ESTRUTURA DAS FRASES EM INGLÊS
Subject + Verb + Objects and/or Other Complements
A estrutura das frases em inglês é muita mais fixa do que no português. Inversões e
omissões de sujeito são permitidas no português, inclusive enriquecem a linguagem. Em inglês, a
ordem das palavras é, praticamente, fixa. Pouquíssimas inversões são permitidas e o sujeito deve
estar sempre presente, ocupando seu lugar na frase. Quando ele não existir, o It ou o there (que não
é o lá, apesar de ser escrito da mesma forma) preenchem o espaço do mesmo.
Ao ler em inglês, deve-se ter em mente que:
Todas as frases têm um verbo
O sujeito em inglês é explicito e formado por substantivos, pronomes ou estruturas
nominais (um conjunto formado de substantivo + palavras que possam
modifica-lo).
Normalmente as frases têm 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 são
formados por substantivos, pronomes ou estruturas nominais.

Important hint
Um recurso bastante útil para a abordagem de textos em inglês é o dicionário bilingue. Contudo, ao
procurar uma palavra no dicionário, há algo que você deve ter sempre em mente. Como nós vimos,
muitas palavras são formadas por prefixos. Portanto, se você procurar uma palavra como
hopelessness, você não deverá encontrá-la, encontrará hope, e, como você já conhece os sufixos –
less e –ness, advinhará rapidamente o significado de hopelessness.
WH-QUESTIONS
How – Como
What - o quê
When – quando
Where - Onde
Who - Quem
Which – O qual, as quais, os quais ou quais
Whose – de quem
Why – por que
Whatever – o que quer que – ou seja lá o que

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 dentists–few in number,
located mainly in cities, and expensive–were largely peripheral to the extraction trade, which was
dominated by barbers, nostrum salesmen, and itinerant "tooth-pullers" who promised instant, pain-
free 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 child-
oriented, 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 (1890–1920) 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 early-
twentieth-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 professionals–teachers,
nurses, and hygienists–who 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 realized–but 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 dentistry–which, unlike organized medicine, had largely supported free
school and clinic dental programs for children during the previous half-century–adopted 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 dentist–child 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 time–age three–is 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 patient’s 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 patient’s 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. 10.

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 they’re 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. There’s no doubt about the value of the panorex (OPTG) as an overview image; it’s 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 don’t 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 doesn’t 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 X-ray technology must be applied when it’s 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.
