Background and Objectives: There are several life threatening deadly diseases in our world but 'Depression' out power them all in recent years. It is a nightmare now a days that could destroy a whereby strong and healthy person emotionally, mentally and physically in days to month's time. The discovery of selective serotonin receptor antagonist act as a miracle in the treating depression as it greatly reduces the time for therapeutic outcome but also improve the efficacy.

Tooth loss has a direct impact on quality of life by impairing the ability to masticate, speak, and, in some instances, socialize. Bone resorption following extraction presents as a significant problem in restorative and implant dentistry. Socket preservation is a technique by which the amount of bone resorption is limited. This article discusses the scientific literature examining the healing post-extraction and socket preserving techniques.
BPO industry demands frequent shift changes and odd working hours. BPO employees are prone to work related stress as they have to work in odd hours and frequent shift changes in this profession lead to increased physical and mental health problems. This study has evaluated anxiety, stress and work life balance of BPO employees working in different shifts. Sample comprised of 250 employees with an average age of 34.65 years and standard deviation 6.74 years divided into general shift (n=57), second shift (n=53), night shift (n=62) and rotating shift (n=78).
Saliva constitutes an important role in maintaining the health of the oral cavity. It helps in lubrication, mastication, and has effective antimicrobial action. In prosthodontics, saliva plays a main role in retention of the denture. Hyposalivation is a main complication in diabetes, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, sjogren syndrome, certain systemic conditions and patients with maxillofacial defects.

Background: Location of hinge axis and its precise transfer to the articulator where the occlusal rehabilitation is planned is a vital therapeutic protocol in fixed prosthodontics. However, there is an uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the arbitrary or true hinge axis transfer influencing the therapeutic outcome of occlusal harmony provided by restorations, whichneeds to be investigated further in detail. Aim: To evaluate occlusal discrepancies arising after mounting with arbitrary and kinematic facebows in fixed restorations.
Background: Early detection of wound discharge at operative site and its complications is very important to prevent morbidity associated with it. The aim of our research was to find out the important role of procalcitonin in predicting early wound complications at surgical site. We found out that at a cut off level of 30 pg/ml, serum procalcitonin can predict wound complication with sensitivity of 65.5% and specificity of 98.8%. Materials and Methods: Patients of all age groups who had undergone orthopaedic surgery were prospectively included in this study.
