tem, Incorporated, television
documentary on the " Mystery
of Pain," partly filmed in the
School of Dentistry, will be
shown Tuesday, March 10, at

documentary emphasizes the
dental " pain killing" technique
developed by Niels B. Jorgen-sen,
DDS, emeritus professor
of oral surgery.
The " Jorgensen Technique,"
as it 5* IT. ' '- Known, does not
put the patient to sleep, but
into a tolerant and pleasant
twilight state where time passes
pleasantly and two to three
hours of operating seems to be
but a few minutes.
Also included in the CBS
documentary are scenes show
ing School of Dentistry stu
dents and faculty members.
Other experts featured in the
half hour special are Janet Tra-vell,
MD, former physician to
Presidents John F. Kennedy
and Lyndon B. Johnson and

geography and treatment of
muscle pain; and John J. Bon-ica,
MD, of the University of
Washington Pain Clinic, Seat
tle, a specialist in techniques
dealing with chronic pain in
cases where pain itself becomes
the primary disease.
