INTRODUCTION: Social media is a mode of communication that allows a person to create and share information with others. Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google+, YouTube etc are some examples of social media applications and they allow people to communicate across the world. There is very less literature available that shows the effect of social media in esthetics in India. AIM: To conduct an online survey to see the impact of using social media on esthetic dental treatments. MATERIALS AND METHOD: 477 questionnaires were returned with responses and the data was entered into the MS excel sheet. Descriptive statistics was used for the frequency distribution and Chi Square was applied for the statistical relationship between male and female variables (at 5% significance). RESULTS:  Four hundred seventy seven participants responded to this study through online forms. Most of the participants belonged to the age group of 26-35 years (n=256), followed by 18-25 years (n= 137), 36-45 years and > 45 years (n= 55 & 29 respectively). The response of females was high (63.5%) when compared to males. CONCLUSION: Females tend to follow dentists more as compare to males on social media. In dental practice, social media has become a widely used for exchanging and obtaining information.

INTRODUCTION: "Dry socket" was first described by Crawford in literature in 1896. When people are recognizing that current medicine is not the soul cure for diseases, we look back to the past for potential remedies with the least possible side-effectiveness. So the objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of honey and aloevera on healing of post extraction wounds. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Honey and aloe-vera were prepared by mixing with sterilized cotton. The socket involved was separated by dry autoclaved cotton rolls from the rest of the oral cavity, then honey/aloe-vera was inserted into the respective groups. All patients were advised to avoid solid and liquid diets for 30 minutes after the treatment. Dressings were changed on 3rd day and on 7th day and sockets were evaluated. RESULTS: When the intra-group comparison of honey (p-value=0.003) and aloe-vera (p-value=0.000) was done, both were found to be statistically significant in the healing of dry socket. When the inter-group comparison was done between honey and aloe-vera, Aloe-vera had high healing capacity and was found to be highly statistically significant (p-value=0.001). DISCUSSION: When the intra-group comparison of honey and aloe-vera was done, both were found to be statistically significant in the reduction of dry socket. When the inter-group comparison was done between honey and aloe-vera, Aloe-vera had high healing capacity and was found to be highly statistically significant (p-value=0.00). CONCLUSION: From the analysis, it can be inferred that aloe vera and honey are healthy, natural and user-friendly substitute adjuncts that might be feasible to promote healing of extraction sockets.

Background: Women in this region may have a different risk factor profile for ectopic pregnancy compared to women from other countries because they have specific characteristics (such as cultural, religious, and traditional values), socio-demographic determinants, sexual behavior and beliefs, and a preference for contraception. The present study has been objectively conducted to assess the various risk factors of ectopic pregnancy among women of Jammu region. Methods: This was a one year prospective observational study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, SMGS Hospital, GMC Jammu with effect from February 2022 to November 2022. The patient provided written, fully informed consent. A total of 120 patients were included in the study in which 60 patients were cases and 60 were controls. Results: The risk of ectopic pregnancy was also found to increase with a number of risk factors, such as patients with lower socioeconomic status (56% vs 13.3%; p-value0.001), patients with history of abortions (23.3% vs. 8.3%;p-value=0.024*), patients with tuberculosis (13.3% vs. 1.7%; p-value< 0.001*), patients with endometriosis (11.7% vs. 1.7%; p-value=0.028), patients with infertility (18.3% vs. 3.3%; p-value=0.008*), patients with IUCD (13.3% vs1.7% ; p-value=0.015) and patients with previous ectopic pregnancy (11.7% vs. 1.7%;p=0.028). Conclusion: The current study showed that the primary risk factors for the incidence of ectopic pregnancies among women of Jammu region include advanced maternal age, low socioeconomic position, prior ectopic pregnancies, usage of IUCDs, history of abortions, and infertility Keywords: Ectopic pregnancy, risk factor for ectopic pregnancy, contraception, women of Jammu region
