State Licensure for US Dentists. Though requirements vary from state to state, all applicants for dental licensure must meet three basic requirements; an education requirement, a written examination requirement and a clinical examination requirement.andidates for dental licenses in most U.S. licensing jurisdictions are subject to a clinical examination requirement 1.

Herniated Nucleus Pulposus. There are soft-tissue discs between the bony vertebral bodies in your thoracic spine (rib cage area) that are called intervertebral discs. These discs are composed of a soft gel-like center called the nucleus pulposus, and a tough outer layer that surrounds the disc called the annulus fibrosis. The intervertebral disc creates a joint between each of the vertebral bodies that allows them to flex and extend, rotate slightly, and laterally bend.
