<br><br>It is very common to have a dental emergency -- a fractured tooth, an abscess, or severe pain when chewing. Over-the-counter pain medication is just masking the problem. Seeing an emergency dentist is critical to getting the source of the problem diagnosed and corrected as soon as possible.<br><br>Here are some common dental emergencies:<br>Toothache: The most common dental emergency. This generally means a badly decayed tooth. As the pain affects the tooth's nerve, treatment involves gently removing any debris lodged in the cavity being careful not to poke deep as this will cause severe pain if the nerve is touched. Next rinse vigorously with warm water. Then soak a small piece of cotton in oil of cloves and insert it in the cavity. This will give temporary relief until a dentist can be reached.<br><br>At times the pain may have a more obscure location such as decay under an old filling. As this can be only corrected by a dentist there are two things you can do to help the pain. Administer a pain pill (aspirin or some other analgesic) internally or dissolve a tablet in a half glass (4 oz) of warm water holding it in the mouth for several minutes before spitting it out. DO NOT PLACE A WHOLE TABLET OR ANY PART OF IT IN THE TOOTH OR AGAINST THE SOFT GUM TISSUE AS IT WILL RESULT IN A NASTY BURN.<br><br>Swollen Jaw: This may be caused by several conditions the most probable being an abscessed tooth. In any case the treatment should be to reduce pain and swelling. An ice pack held on the outside of the jaw, (ten minutes on and ten minutes off) will take care of both. If this does not control the pain, an analgesic tablet can be given every four hours.<br><br>Other Oral Injuries: Broken teeth, cut lips, bitten tongue or lips if severe means a trip to a dentist as soon as possible. In the mean time rinse the mouth with warm water and place cold compression the face opposite the injury. If there is a lot of bleeding, apply direct pressure to the bleeding area. If bleeding does not stop get patient to the emergency room of a hospital as stitches may be necessary.<br><br>Prolonged Bleeding Following Extraction: Place a gauze pad or better still a moistened tea bag over the socket and have the patient bite down gently on it for 30 to 45 minutes. The tannic acid in the tea seeps into the tissues and often helps stop the bleeding. If bleeding continues after two hours, call the dentist or take patient to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.<br><br>Broken Jaw: If you suspect the patient's jaw is broken, bring the upper and lower teeth together. Put a necktie, handkerchief or towel under the chin, tying it over the head to immobilize the jaw until you can get the patient to a dentist or the emergency room of a hospital.<br><br>Painful Erupting Tooth: In young children teething pain can come from a loose baby tooth or from an erupting permanent tooth. Some relief can be given by crushing a little ice and wrapping it in gauze or a clean piece of cloth and putting it directly on the tooth or gum tissue where it hurts. The numbing effect of the cold, along with an appropriate dose of aspirin, usually provides temporary relief.<br><br>In young adults, an erupting 3rd molar (Wisdom tooth), especially if it is impacted, can cause the jaw to swell and be quite painful. Often the gum around the tooth will show signs of infection. Temporary relief can be had by giving aspirin or some other painkiller and by dissolving an aspirin in half a glass of warm water and holding this solution in the mouth over the sore gum. AGAIN DO NOT PLACE A TABLET DIRECTLY OVER THE GUM OR CHEEK OR USE THE ASPIRIN SOLUTION ANY STRONGER THAN RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT BURNING THE TISSUE. The swelling of the jaw can be reduced by using an ice pack on the outside of the face at intervals of ten minutes on and ten minutes off.<br><br>In the event you loved this informative article along with you want to get more info with regards to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90z1mmiwNS8 Dentists in DC] generously pay a visit to our own page.
In [[geometry]], a '''convex uniform honeycomb''' is a [[uniform polytope|uniform]] [[tessellation]] which fills three-dimensional [[Euclidean space]] with non-overlapping [[convex polyhedron|convex]] [[uniform polyhedron|uniform polyhedral]] cells.
 
Twenty-eight such honeycombs exist:
* the familiar [[cubic honeycomb]] and 7 truncations thereof;
* the [[alternated cubic honeycomb]] and 4 truncations thereof;
* 10 prismatic forms based on the [[#Prismatic_stacks|uniform plane tilings]] (11 if including the cubic honeycomb);
* 5 modifications of some of the above by elongation and/or gyration.
 
They can be considered the three-dimensional analogue to the [[List of uniform planar tilings|uniform tilings of the plane]].
 
== History ==
* '''1900''': [[Thorold Gosset]] enumerated the list of semiregular convex polytopes with regular cells ([[Platonic solid]]s) in his publication ''On the Regular and Semi-Regular Figures in Space of n Dimensions'', including one regular cubic honeycomb, and two semiregular forms with tetrahedra and octahedra.
* '''1905''': [[Alfredo Andreini]] enumerated 25 of these tessellations.
* '''1991''': [[Norman Johnson (mathematician)|Norman Johnson]]'s manuscript ''Uniform Polytopes'' identified the complete list of 28.
* '''1994''': [[Branko Grünbaum]], in his paper ''Uniform tilings of 3-space'', also independently enumerated all 28, after discovering errors in Andreini's publication. He found the 1905 paper, which listed 25, had 1 wrong, and [[Convex uniform honeycomb#Nonwythoffian forms (gyrated and elongated)|4 being missing]]. Grünbaum states in this paper that Norman Johnson deserves priority for achieving the same enumeration in 1991. He also mentions that [[I. Alexeyev]] of Russia had contacted him regarding a putative enumeration of these forms, but that Grünbaum was unable to verify this at the time.
* '''2006''': [[George Olshevsky]], in his manuscript ''Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs'', along with repeating the derived list of 11 convex uniform tilings, and 28 convex uniform honeycombs, expands a further derived list of 143 convex uniform tetracombs (Honeycombs of [[uniform polychoron|uniform polychora]] in 4-space).
 
Only 14 of the convex uniform polyhedra appear in these patterns:
* three of the five [[Platonic solid]]s,
* six of the thirteen [[Archimedean solid]]s, and
* five of the infinite family of [[prism (geometry)|prism]]s.
 
=== Names ===
This set can be called the '''regular and semiregular honeycombs'''. It has been called the '''Archimedean honeycombs''' by analogy with the convex uniform (non-regular) polyhedra, commonly called [[Archimedean solid]]s. Recently [[John Horton Conway|Conway]] has suggested naming the set as the '''Architectonic tessellations''' and the dual honeycombs as the '''[[Catoptric tessellation]]s'''.
 
The individual honeycombs are listed with names given to them by [[Norman Johnson (mathematician)|Norman Johnson]]. (Some of the terms used below are defined in [[Uniform polychoron#Geometric derivations for 46 nonprismatic Wythoffian uniform polychora]])
 
For cross-referencing, they are given with list indices from '''A'''ndreini (1-22), '''W'''illiams(1-2,9-19), '''J'''ohnson (11-19, 21-25, 31-34, 41-49, 51-52, 61-65), and '''G'''rünbaum(1-28). Coxeter uses &delta;<sub>4</sub> for a [[cubic honeycomb]], h&delta;<sub>4</sub> for an [[alternated cubic honeycomb]], q&delta;<sub>4</sub> for a [[quarter cubic honeycomb]], with subscripts for other forms based on the ring patterns of the Coxeter diagram.
 
== Compact Euclidean uniform tessellations (by their infinite Coxeter group families) ==
[[File:Coxeter-Dynkin 3-space groups.png|380px|thumb|Fundamental domains in a cubic element of three groups.]]
[[File:Coxeter diagram affine rank4 correspondence.png|380px|thumb|Family correspondences]]
The fundamental infinite [[Coxeter group]]s for 3-space are:
# The <math>{\tilde{C}}_3</math>, [4,3,4], cubic, {{CDD|node|4|node|3|node|4|node}} (8 unique forms plus one alternation)
# The <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math>, [4,3<sup>1,1</sup>], alternated cubic, {{CDD|nodes|split2|node|4|node}} (11 forms, 3 new)
# The <math>{\tilde{A}}_3</math> cyclic group, [(3,3,3,3)] or [3<sup>[4]</sup>], {{CDD|branch|3ab|branch}} (5 forms, one new)
 
There is a correspondence between all three families. Removing one mirror from <math>{\tilde{C}}_3</math> produces <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math>, and removing one mirror from <math>{\tilde{B}}_3</math> produces <math>{\tilde{A}}_3</math>. This allows multiple constructions of the same honeycombs. If cells are colored based on unique positions within each Wythoff construction, these different symmetries can be shown.
 
In addition there are 5 special honeycombs which don't have pure reflectional symmetry and are constructed from reflectional forms with ''elongation'' and ''gyration'' operations.
 
The total unique honeycombs above are 18.
 
The prismatic stacks from infinite Coxeter groups for 3-space are:
# The <math>{\tilde{C}}_2</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [4,4,2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|4|node|4|node|2|node|infin|node}} (2 new forms)
# The <math>{\tilde{H}}_2</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [6,3,2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|6|node|3|node|2|node|infin|node}} (7 unique forms)
# The <math>{\tilde{A}}_2</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [(3,3,3),2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|split1|branch|2|node|infin|node}} (No new forms)
# The <math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>×<math>{\tilde{I}}_1</math>, [∞,2,∞,2,∞] prismatic group, {{CDD|node|infin|node|2|node|infin|node|2|node|infin|node}} (These all become a ''cubic honeycomb'')
 
In addition there is one special ''elongated'' form of the triangular prismatic honeycomb.
 
The total unique prismatic honeycombs above (excluding the cubic counted previously) are 10.
 
Combining these counts, 18 and 10 gives us the total 28 uniform honeycombs.
 
=== The C<sup>~</sup><sub>3</sub>, [4,3,4] group (cubic) ===
The regular cubic honeycomb, represented by Schläfli symbol {4,3,4}, offers seven unique derived uniform honeycombs via truncation operations. (One redundant form, the ''runcinated cubic honeycomb'', is included for completeness though identical to the cubic honeycomb.) The reflectional symmetry is the affine [[Coxeter group]] [4,3,4]. There are four index 2 subgroups that generate alternations: [1<sup>+</sup>,4,3,4], [(4,3,4,2<sup>+</sup>)], [4,3<sup>+</sup>,4], and [4,3,4]<sup>+</sup>, with the first two generated repeated forms, and the last two are nonuniform.

=== B<sup>~</sup><sub>4</sub>, [4,3<sup>1,1</sup>] group ===
 
The <math>{\tilde{B}}_4</math>, [4,3</sup>] group offers 11 derived forms via truncation operations, four being unique uniform honeycombs. There are 3 index 2 subgroups that generate alternations: [1<sup>+</sup>,4,3<sup>1,1</sup>], [4,(3<sup>1,1</sup>)<sup>+</sup>], and [4,3<sup>1,1</sup>]<sup>+</sup>. The first generates repeated honeycomb, and the last two are nonuniform but included for completeness.
 
The honeycombs from this group are called ''alternated cubic'' because the first form can be seen as a ''cubic honeycomb'' with alternate vertices removed, reducing cubic cells to tetrahedra and creating octahedron cells in the gaps.
 
Nodes are indexed left to right as ''0,1,0',3'' with 0' being below and interchangeable with ''0''. The ''alternate cubic'' names given are based on this ordering.

=== Nonwythoffian forms (gyrated and elongated) ===
Three more uniform honeycombs are generated by breaking one or another of the above honeycombs where its faces form a continuous plane, then rotating alternate layers by 60 or 90 degrees (''gyration'') and/or inserting a layer of prisms (''elongation'').
 
The elongated and gyroelongated alternated cubic tilings have the same vertex figure, but are not alike.  In the ''elongated'' form, each prism meets a tetrahedron at one triangular end and an octahedron at the other.  In the ''gyroelongated'' form, prisms that meet tetrahedra at both ends alternate with prisms that meet octahedra at both ends.
 
The gyroelongated triangular prismatic tiling has the same vertex figure as one of the plain prismatic tilings; the two may be derived from the gyrated and plain triangular prismatic tilings, respectively, by inserting layers of cubes.

=== Prismatic stacks ===
Eleven '''prismatic''' tilings are obtained by stacking the eleven [[tiling by regular polygons|uniform plane tilings]], shown below, in parallel layers.  (One of these honeycombs is the cubic, shown above.)  The [[vertex figure]] of each is an irregular [[bipyramid]] whose faces are [[isosceles triangle]]s.
 
==== The C<sup>~</sup><sub>2</sub>×I<sup>~</sup><sub>1</sub>(&infin;), [4,4,2,&infin;], prismatic group ====
 
There are only 3 unique honeycombs from the square tiling, but all 6 tiling truncations are listed below for completeness, and tiling images are shown by colors corresponding to each form.

The [[tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb|alternated cubic honeycomb]] is of special importance since its vertices form a cubic [[close-packing]] of spheres. The space-filling [[truss]] of packed octahedra and tetrahedra was apparently first discovered by [[Alexander Graham Bell]] and independently re-discovered by [[Buckminster Fuller]] (who called it the [[octet truss]] and patented it in the 1940s).
[http://tabletoptelephone.com/~hopspage/Fuller.html]

[http://www.n55.dk/MANUALS/DISCUSSIONS/OTHER_TEXTS/CM_TEXT.html]
[http://www.cjfearnley.com/fuller-faq-2.html]. Octet trusses are now among the most common types of truss used in construction.
<!--
FIXME: move this discussion of octet truss to [[Buckminster Fuller]] or perhaps [[octet truss]], leaving behind a link to where it went.

{{main|Uniform honeycombs in hyperbolic space}}
 
There are 9 [[Coxeter group]] families of compact uniform honeycombs in [[Hyperbolic space|hyperbolic 3-space]], generated as [[Wythoff construction]]s, and represented by ring permutations of the [[Coxeter-Dynkin diagram]]s for each family.
 
From these 9 families, there are a total of 76 unique honeycombs generated:
* [3,5,3] : {{CDD|node|3|node|5|node|3|node}} - 9 forms
* [5,3,4] : {{CDD|node|5|node|3|node|4|node}} - 15 forms
* [5,3,5] : {{CDD|node|5|node|3|node|5|node}} - 9 forms
* [5,3<sup>1,1</sup>] : {{CDD|nodes|split2|node|5|node}} - 11 forms (7 overlap with [5,3,4] family, 4 are unique)
* [(4,3,3,3)] : {{CDD|label4|branch|3ab|branch}} - 9 forms
* [(4,3,4,3)] : {{CDD|label4|branch|3ab|branch|label4}} - 6 forms

* [(5,3,5,3)] : {{CDD|label5|branch|3ab|branch|label5}} - 6 forms
 
The full list of hyperbolic uniform honeycombs has not been proven and an unknown number of [[non-Wythoffian]] forms exist. One known example is in the {3,5,3} family.
 
=== Paracompact hyperbolic forms ===
There are also [[Paracompact uniform honeycombs|23 paracompact Coxeter groups]] of rank 4. These families can produce uniform honeycombs with unbounded facets or vertex figure, including ideal vertices at infinity:

It is very common to have a dental emergency -- a fractured tooth, an abscess, or severe pain when chewing. Over-the-counter pain medication is just masking the problem. Seeing an emergency dentist is critical to getting the source of the problem diagnosed and corrected as soon as possible.

Here are some common dental emergencies:
Toothache: The most common dental emergency. This generally means a badly decayed tooth. As the pain affects the tooth's nerve, treatment involves gently removing any debris lodged in the cavity being careful not to poke deep as this will cause severe pain if the nerve is touched. Next rinse vigorously with warm water. Then soak a small piece of cotton in oil of cloves and insert it in the cavity. This will give temporary relief until a dentist can be reached.

At times the pain may have a more obscure location such as decay under an old filling. As this can be only corrected by a dentist there are two things you can do to help the pain. Administer a pain pill (aspirin or some other analgesic) internally or dissolve a tablet in a half glass (4 oz) of warm water holding it in the mouth for several minutes before spitting it out. DO NOT PLACE A WHOLE TABLET OR ANY PART OF IT IN THE TOOTH OR AGAINST THE SOFT GUM TISSUE AS IT WILL RESULT IN A NASTY BURN.

Swollen Jaw: This may be caused by several conditions the most probable being an abscessed tooth. In any case the treatment should be to reduce pain and swelling. An ice pack held on the outside of the jaw, (ten minutes on and ten minutes off) will take care of both. If this does not control the pain, an analgesic tablet can be given every four hours.

Other Oral Injuries: Broken teeth, cut lips, bitten tongue or lips if severe means a trip to a dentist as soon as possible. In the mean time rinse the mouth with warm water and place cold compression the face opposite the injury. If there is a lot of bleeding, apply direct pressure to the bleeding area. If bleeding does not stop get patient to the emergency room of a hospital as stitches may be necessary.

Prolonged Bleeding Following Extraction: Place a gauze pad or better still a moistened tea bag over the socket and have the patient bite down gently on it for 30 to 45 minutes. The tannic acid in the tea seeps into the tissues and often helps stop the bleeding. If bleeding continues after two hours, call the dentist or take patient to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.

Broken Jaw: If you suspect the patient's jaw is broken, bring the upper and lower teeth together. Put a necktie, handkerchief or towel under the chin, tying it over the head to immobilize the jaw until you can get the patient to a dentist or the emergency room of a hospital.

Painful Erupting Tooth: In young children teething pain can come from a loose baby tooth or from an erupting permanent tooth. Some relief can be given by crushing a little ice and wrapping it in gauze or a clean piece of cloth and putting it directly on the tooth or gum tissue where it hurts. The numbing effect of the cold, along with an appropriate dose of aspirin, usually provides temporary relief.

In young adults, an erupting 3rd molar (Wisdom tooth), especially if it is impacted, can cause the jaw to swell and be quite painful. Often the gum around the tooth will show signs of infection. Temporary relief can be had by giving aspirin or some other painkiller and by dissolving an aspirin in half a glass of warm water and holding this solution in the mouth over the sore gum. AGAIN DO NOT PLACE A TABLET DIRECTLY OVER THE GUM OR CHEEK OR USE THE ASPIRIN SOLUTION ANY STRONGER THAN RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT BURNING THE TISSUE. The swelling of the jaw can be reduced by using an ice pack on the outside of the face at intervals of ten minutes on and ten minutes off.
