Anterior tooth fractures are more commonly found in younger patients than in adults. Kids in school accidentally fall and break their anterior tooth. It not only has an impact on aesthetics but physiological disturbances due to their friends. The aim of this study is to assess the gender difference in patients who underwent root canal treatment in anterior teeth after trauma. The data was collected from the dental information archiving software of saveetha dental college, from June 2019 to March 2020. The parameters collected were age, gender, a tooth which had undergone trauma. The data was collected and tabulated in the excel sheet and was transferred to the SPSS software by IBM for statistical analysis like chi-square test between trauma teeth and age and gender and traumatized tooth. This study reveals that males had a higher incidence of fracture than females and they belonged to the age group of 2-4 years with a P-value of 0.213 >0.05 (statistically insignificant).   This study concludes that male children are more prone for anterior tooth fracture than the female children, and they must be educated on the importance of teeth and safety during sporting or any other physical activities.

Fluoride used as a chemotherapeutic agent for caries prevention has been widely researched and documented. The change in the prevalence of caries and advent of different fluoride formulations along with the desire to maximize the benefits and minimise the side effects has led to evoking guidelines for its use. Fluoride varnish, which is one of the most important materials to prevent early childhood caries, is easy to apply and well-tolerated by children. The study aims in assessing the perception of parents towards professional fluoride treatment, opinions, differences and evaluating the prevalent condition. The study was performed in the outpatient department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry. Data required for the study was procured by reviewing patient records and analysed data of 86000 patients between June 2019 to March 2020. The data was sorted in excel and statistically analysed using the IBM SPSS software analysis and the results interpreted in graphs and tabulations. The prevalence of fluoride treatment was found to be 37.7%. The study shows a female predilection (Chi-square test; p-value- 0.252) and age is found to be negatively correlating with fluoride type (p<0.01). It is imperative that regular professional fluoride treatment for pediatric patients is followed by parents to prevent and manage tooth decay effectively.

Alveoloplasty has been defined as the surgical removal of a portion of the alveolar process. It has stated that some form of alveoloplasty is indicated in nearly every instance of multiple extractions and frequently even in single extraction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of suture techniques in single tooth alveoloplasty wounds. The purpose of this study was to analyse the sutures used for single tooth alveoloplasty. A study was carried out by collecting data by reviewing patients data and analysing the data of 86000 patients between June 2019 and March 2020 at the private dental institute. A total number of 26 case sheets were reviewed from intra oral photographs and additional supports. Photographs were assessed to determine the technique of suturing for patients undergoing single tooth alveoloplasty. The study was evaluated and approved by the ethical committee of the private dental institute Data was statistically analysed using SPSS 2.0, Chi Square Test was conducted. The results were recorded. The results showed majority of the dental students provided simple interrupted sutures post single tooth alveoloplasty wounds. Statistically, the difference was not significantly associated between tooth number and type of suture in single tooth alveoloplasty wounds as the p value was 0.404, (Chi Square test, p&gt;0.05). Within the limitation of present study, the majority of the dental students provided simple interrupted sutures post single tooth alveoloplasty wounds especially in relation to tooth number 37.

Introduction: Recurrent spontaneous abortion is defined as the occurrence of more than two clinical miscarriages in one woman. Several factors, including endocrine irregularities, genetics and environmental factors, are involved in this kind of infertility.The aim of this study was to survey the association of HOXA10 (rs267601473) polymorphism with the risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion in our population. Methods: In the present case-control study, the HOXA10 (rs267601473) polymorphism was investigated in 70 infertile woman and 100 healthy participants using PCR-RFLP methods. Then, the data were analyzed by SPSS software version 18 and also were compared using Chi-square test and Logistic regression model. The p-value was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Results: Our results showed significant association between the HOXA10 (rs267601473) polymorphism and recurrent spontaneous abortion (OR=0.143, 95% CI=0.056-0.368; p<0.0001). Our findings showed that T allele frequency in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion had significant difference compared to the control group (OR=0.2, 95% CI=0.11-0.4; p<0.0001). Conclusion: The results of this study reveal that the HOXA10 (rs267601473) polymorphism is significantly associated with recurrent spontaneous abortion in our population.

Objectives: To determine frequency of thrombocytopenia and its association with mortality among neonates having probable or culture proven sepsis. Study Design: Descriptive Analytical study. Setting: Multicentre study done at Neonatology Unit of Teaching Hospital Dera Ghazi Khan and Nishtar Medical University, Multan. Period: February 2019 to July 2019. Material & Methods: Three hundred neonates with culture proven sepsis were enrolled. Platelet counts along with frequency of thrombocytopenia (<150000/mm3) and mortality among all the neonates were recorded. Mortality among different groups according to platelet counts was compared adopting chi-square test. Results: Out of 300 neonates considered in the final analysis, 164 (54.7%) were male. Overall, median platelet count was 213.0mm3. TCP was present in 78 (26.0%) cases. Among 146 culture proven sepsis cases, 88 (61.8%) had gram positive while 58 (38.2%) had gram negative pathogens. Cases having thrombocytopenia had significantly higher mortality (n=26/78, 33.3%) as compared with those who had normal or increased platelet count (n=25/222, 11.3%) representing a significant p value (<0.00001). Conclusion: Thrombocytopenia is a common complication of culture proven and probable neonatal sepsis. Mortality is significantly high in neonatal sepsis along with thrombocytopenia.

Setting: Department ofAnaesthesia Ibn e Sina Hospital. Multan and National, Lahore. Period: May 2016 to May 2017.Methodology: After provision form ethical committee and informed consent to be included instudy. Patients of age 20-60 years, ASA status I and II, elective surgeries under GA and both sexwere included in the study through consecutive sampling technique. SPSS software was used toanalyze all variables included in the study continuous variables were measured and presentedas mean and standard deviation, categorical measurement were measured in numbers andpercents. Chi square test was applied to check the difference among both groups. P value ≤0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Overall, 100% (n=160) patients were included, inthis study; divided into two equal groups, 50% (n=80) in each, gargled ketamine group (GKgroup) and nebulization group (NK group) respectively.
