Article Synopsis
- Pediatric patients often experience anxiety and behavioral challenges during dental care, prompting a need for effective behavior coaching techniques.
- This pilot study investigates the effects of audiovisual stimuli, specifically binaural beats, on anxiety reduction in children aged 6 to 9 years during dental procedures.
- Results show that children exposed to binaural beats experienced significantly greater reductions in pulse rate and increases in oxygen saturation compared to those without audio stimulation, highlighting its potential as a useful tool in pediatric dentistry.
Article Synopsis
- Needle stick injuries (NSIs) are common among healthcare workers, with a 31% prevalence found in a study of 210 HCWs in a hospital in Kerala, India, where the intravenous cannula was the most involved device.
- The study highlighted that older healthcare workers (above 31 years) were more likely to experience NSIs, suggesting a need for targeted safety measures for this group.
- The results emphasize the necessity for improved documentation, adherence to safety protocols, and effective post-exposure prophylaxis to mitigate the risks associated with NSIs in the healthcare setting.
Organizational socialization (OS) is a critical process that all employees go through. In addition to the job characteristics, the efficiency and effectiveness of the OS process impact the individual's ability to adjust and be involved in the job. This study proposes and tests a new model in which psychological safety mediated the effects of OS and job characteristics on the job involvement of 313 newly recruited health-care professionals' working in 10 private hospitals in South India.

The present study aimed to evaluate and correlate HbA1c, salivary pH, and oral bacterial microflora (streptococcus and lactobacillus colony-forming unit (CFU)) related to dental caries in normal, controlled, and uncontrolled type II diabetic patients.
Materials And Methods: A total of 90 samples were taken for this study.
Statement Of Problem: Natural weathering has varied effects on the service life of maxillofacial silicones due to its direct implications on the tear strength and hardness of the material.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of incorporation of nano oxides on the mechanical properties of maxillofacial silicone elastomer subjected to outdoor weathering.
Material And Methods: This in-vitro study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics, on maxillofacial silicone elastomer samples incorporated with nano particles subjected to outdoor weathering for a time period of 6 months.
