Shikosha Dental Lab, Portland

Years ago when i got my first partials i didn't know how they were supposed to look like. Done by a Japanese doctor to whom i was refereed by a doctor who i was refereed to by a "Russian" colleague of Angela at GE (Sentrol) i guess. Dr. Timothy N. Tanada, year 2000. Since i didn't have money to make crowns he reconstructed some of my teeth by... feeling them. Partials made with plastic and metal, were quite a work of art and costed 4000 dollars. In fact my dental history is so long, i could write a small book about it.

Dr. Negru @2004 tricked me or persuaded me whatever and put veneers (3/4 crowns) on all my remaining teeth and adjusted the partials to them. An over 10000 dollars job. His wife and assistant, Dorina, looked like Shania Twain or Alexandra Ungureanu. He made a comment saying that Tanada did a sub-standard job on my teeth and his name being Timothy, a Christian name.

I know during my last job in 2006 i was still wearing those and i was bleeding. Around 2009 got some new partials done by a doctor Waters in Beaverton. He said from the start he would not be able to match the quality of the previous ones.

The last two ones that i still have were done by dr. Grenzer in Tigard at a Japanese laboratory named Shikosha. They look, especially last ones, really strange. The walls of the dentures that surround the gums are very deep and they interfere with emptying of saliva from salivary glands or even pump food in there while i eat.

First, the upper ones were so big (deep), they were touching the soft palate of my mouth. So i didn't wear them for a few month or until i was sure the construction work in that building was finished (much dust, i saw irritation on the face of his assistant, who looked like once sexiest woman on planet, Jennifer Aniston. Not anymore, sic transit but still with the attitude). So i went at the beginning of July and tried to have them fixed and started wearing them. Trouble is, in about one month i started to have these huge bulges on the side of my mandible where the parietal glands are.

So first, trying to find the cause by elimination i stopped wearing those. In a few days the bulges started to subside and now are almost gone. Possible complications of parietal glands infection is meningitis. On long term, i believe bacterial release from those and from wearing the partials without cleaning them after eating may lead to inflammation of esophagus, stomach with lymph nodes pressing on the common duct, bile and pancreas partial, intermittent blockage, fatty liver diseases, pancreatitis, high blood sugar. Didn't want to write about until i knew the outcome. Bulges are much smaller but not completely gone. This is just an example, mine never got like that. Note the symbolism. Parot.
This is an example found with google










And these are mine, new and old. New have hooks, are much deeper, especially right outer rim.

Updated 11/16

After starting to wear the new partials at the end of July i noticed bulges at both sides of my face, pretty similar with those in the image of this blog post though not so obvious (could mostly feel them by touch, about 1/4 inch thick). I also had dizziness and other symptoms that could indicate increased pressure of the Cerebrospinal fluid including the sound (in my own inner ear of course) similar to that of knocking of a ripe melon when taping the top of my head with the tip of my fingers.

My guess was the new partials and i stopped wearing those, starting an antibiotic course that lasted, with interruptions until today. However i kept using those dentures occasionally and every time the symptoms were coming back, even though on antibiotics.

On October 30 i decided to take action and started trim those, but i've done it in several steps, using sand paper it was a very slow process, until a few days ago when i got to the level of the older ones (though even those are big compared to the previous ones). After i finished adjusted them and filing about 1/4 of an inch of the rims, my symptoms started to ease, especially the headaches and chills after eating. My assumption is the dentures being so tall were interfering with the salivary ducts, pumping food back into those and salivary glands.

Praegitzer and Siberia

Talking about orkin men of which i just wrote and my apparent "inability to keep a job".

I once had a job through a temporary agency at a firm named Praegitzer in Hillbsoro i guess (it's been more than 20 years since). Before year 2000 when i was still full of hope and American dream (maybe i should turn this into a blog post maybe if i could remember the date) and exact place.

So i think it was Manpower who sent me there, after an hours long screening process which included hand eye coordination and elementary math. But i think the first time i signed with Manpower was about this time of August 1995 in Salem. There i did a hand eye coordination test they said it was too accurate (off the scale) and they didn't hire me for Wafertech.

So i go there (at Praegitzer) in a Friday, there was this big meeting only for perms and i was in a different room with a guy who was adjusting some electronic receivers. When i say adjusting, i say, literally moving wires and bending walls between different compartments of several receivers which were about twice the size of a car stereo while looking at a scope. It seemed the guy was in a hurry to ship those. They gave me something to do, i can't remember now, and from time to time i was hearing the owner (old man Praegitzer) talking yelling something at the meeting with a bad accent that was adding to my lack of advanced English or so i thought, cause the only word i could understand, repeating like every minute or so, was Siberia, and then the public (about 50 persons, by the noise) applauded (not to be confounded with uploaded).

Towards the end of the day (why do i remember it was an evening) the guy told me those were receivers for a security firm or security of cell phones firms that were able to recognize the analog signature of a specific cell phone, like a fingerprint. That was again in 1996 or something.

Anyways. Here came the end of the day, it was a Friday, the guy with the receivers didn't say anything, or said see you Monday or something like that, everything seemed fine, didn't get any message from the temp firm, and i came back Monday.

However, on Monday when i went there, there was no more Praegitzer logo on the wall. I tried to enter, nobody. I contacted the temp agency who told me the company moved over the weekend and forgot to tell me about. They said i shouldn't bother to go next day to the next location.

Here is an old news article about Praegitzer since 1997. Dallas based? this is where i lived my first month in 1995 at Julian Mart who could actually have been Gregorian. Julian Mart apparently knew about this guy, back then i was telling him everything i was doing. (Me living in Dallas next to Salem created a lot of confusion among my relatives in Romania who thought i lived in Dallas Texas).

Julian even took us to a place called Southfork (next to a local river). In the picture. Most likely Veronica Mart (don't know the Hungarian name, right) next to "George Hârșovescu, the Romanian pilot from Salem" (Gyula Szombathy).

This is just an example. At every job i went to, short or long, i don't believe i met with normal people but always actors. One of the best examples is Axl Rose at AVX Vanvouver, former, current Kyocera, where he has been my supervisor for almost one year (but he was working part and floating time, only a few hours a day, always different).

AVX and Axl has some name similarity. I even have a picture with him since. His live stage name was also Orville Oster, and anagram of Oster ir Roset. Another guy i remember there, Tom Green, could have been General Greene who i think was killed in Afghanistan, shortly after i mentioned his name. The guy from Inner Circle, a fellow tech who didn't know the size of Allen wrenches in fraction of inches, black, fat, braids and everything. David Espasandin, day shift supervisor who could have been Major Omar Haisan. Not last and not least, Mădălina Ghenea, by the name of Elena Andrei, whom i met back in 97. Though in 97 Mădălina Ghenea was officially 9 years old and in reality was probably 16 posing as a 22-23.

Others are William Shatner (by the name Shanon), Leonardy Nimoy (Tom Allan), Cameron Diaz, others at Quadramed, including Macy Gray. Yes, the song was about me, the title of my first program in object oriented Delphi and my constant shortness of breath due to nasal congestions due to all kinda witchcraft.
