What is the name of the dentistry insignia?

This dental insignia was adopted by the American Dental Association in November 1965 as the official emblem of dentistry The design uses as its central figure a serpent entwined about an ancient Arabian cautery in the manner of the single serpent of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine, coiled about a rod The Greek letter Δ (delta), for dentistry, and the Greek letter Ο (omicron), for odont (tooth) form the periphery of the design In the background of the design are 32 leaves and 20 berries, representative of the permanent and temporary teeth The suggested colors for the insignia are: the background, a shade of lilac-the official academic color of dentistry; the letter Ο in gold; the letter Δ in black; the cautery in gold outlined in black, and the leaves, berries and serpent merely outlined in black on the lilac background The National Association of Dental Faculties in 1897 chose the color lilac as the profession's major color. The color trims dental schools' graduation gowns and caps and may be found in dental banners, emblems, insignia, signs, symbols and publications You are perhaps thinking of the caduceus, the winged emblem with two snakes intertwined which is symbolic of medicine The caduceus is not the symbol of medicine. Perhaps you are thinking about the Staff of Asclepius As it has for nearly a century, the AMA's symbol features the single snake of the Staff of Asclepius.

The symbol dates to antiquity, and represents its namesake, the Greek god of healing... For many years the Staff of Asclepius has been confused with the caduceus, a symbol used by numerous medical organizations and that generally features two snakes encircling a rod topped with wings. According to most mythology, however, the caduceus represents the wand of the Greek god Hermes and often is associated with commercial endeavors http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2005/06/20/edsa0620.htm.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
