Clinical Cases

Miniimplant recently became a way of orthodontic treatment. Compared to the other implants, miniimplants are relatively small, allowing them to be placed between the dental roots in various areas of the jaws and serve as skeletal anchorage for orthodontic tooth movements. The use of miniimplants for orthodontic skeletal anchorage may be an predictable and accurate alternative without requiring patient compliance, compared with conventional versions of anchorage. The paper presents a series of clinical cases seen and treated within the dental office of S.C. RANDI SRL and in the Department of Orthodontics at New York University College of Dentistry.

Chapter 10 proceeds in light of our suggestion that sagely behavior is freely chosen, benign, yet powerful, and seeks cooperation in the world in ways that are positive, progressive, nurturing, and constructive in nature. This chapter, however, accounts for people who have been gifted with or have assiduously developed powers of rapport or charisma, achieving notable fractal congruence in the social, political, or economic life of institutions or communities but who have gone the other way. This phenomenon over a wide range of scale can elevate those who become destructive or aggrandizing to the ultimate detriment of society. Numerous followers can gravitate to the kind of socially-fractally-adept individual that we call an anti-sage. The chapter discusses examples of the antisage phenomenon in cults and terrorist organizations such as the People’s Temple and Aum Shinrykyo. In this narrative pertinent expressions of human selfness include: Protean self vs. fundamentalist self and parochial altruism. Also explored are politics and government, notably the administration of George W. Bush, creed-based religions, particularly Christianity and Islam, and aggrandizement in educational administration, such as that of John Sexton’s presidency of New York University.

Previous Volume

Ezra Mendelsohn’s book appeared in the series Essential Papers on Jewish Studies and is an excellent continuation of the previous volume, Essential Papers on Zionism. Both books present a complicated picture of the two most significant currents in contemporary Jewish political and ideological life. I would be glad to see a third volume on the traditional, conservative movements (with Agudat Yisrael as the most important) and perhaps another containing the other currents which cannot be represented in the previous books....
