Atherosclerosis is characterised by formation of induration of the arteries plaques consisting of death cores, calcified regions, accumulated changed lipids, inflamed swish muscle cells (SMCs), epithelial tissue cells (ECs), leukocytes and foam cells in arteries of the brain, the heart, the kidneys and also the legs, particularly wherever the vessels area unit divided. The present aim was to assess the existing level of risk factors of atherosclerosis among working professionals. Who are residing at Bharath Nagar, Tiruvottiyur. A quantitative approach with nonexperimental descriptive research design was adopted for the present study. 60 working professionals were recruited as study participants by using non probability sampling technique. Data was gathered by exploiting a self-structured questionnaire for both the demographic information and for assessing their level of risk factors for atherosclerosis. Outcome of the present study revealed that the mean score on level of risk factors for atherosclerosis towards working professionals found 11.85 and hence concluded that, the working professionals had Average level of risk factors for atherosclerosis.

Background: The aim of behavior management is to instill a positive dental attitude in the anxious patient. It is the means by which the dental team can effectively and efficiently perform treatment, and encourages a child to have a long-term interest in improving dental health and the ongoing prevention of disease.

Method: A total of 120 children, aged between 5-6 years fulfilling eligibility criteria were taken for the study. three groups were made and comparison was done between three behaviour management techniques: thaumaturgy, live modelling and tell show do. behaviour was recorded using Frankel behaviour rating scale was recorded before and after the procedure. Results: there was significant difference between thaumaturgy and other behaviour management techniques live modelling and tell show do (p=0.005). there was no statistical change in the behaviour between tell show do and live modelling. Conclusions: Thaumaturgy technique is better at reducing anxiety levels and all the three behaviour management techniques were effective in installing positive behaviour.
