Anachoretic

Both the anachoretic and the missionary spirit were strong in the family of Penda; the former chiefly among the women, the latter among the men of the house: nearly all his children and grandchildren died in the odour of sanctity.

No longer purely anachoretic or solitary, it begins, like the insect on the flower, to simulate the colour of that new social life from which it draws its own.

Anachoretic behaviour is of two different kinds, permanent and temporary.

If a combination of micro-organisms is injected simultaneously, only one of the bacteria may be demonstrated in the anachoretic abscess.

Anachoresis, or anachoretic pulpitis, is, therefore, a pulpitis of systemic origin.

Anachoretic pulpitis was suggested as a reality by the work of Robinson and Boling in the early 1940's.

The absence of other precipitating lesions was cited as evidence (by exclusion) for anachoretic infection in 51% of maxillary and 59% of mandibular cheek teeth.
