Assessing quality of life with regards to specific treatment interventions may help to draw critical inferences that determine overall success. Results from the study enabled us to delineate and appreciate the success imparted by esthetics and function from the general well being imparted by treatment with dental implants. Social media could be used to positively improve responses in questionnaire based studies. Future studies using implant specific OHRQoL questionnaire may help to elicit unbiased patient perception in dental implant patients.
Self-medication is the major trend observed globally. Inadvertent consequences of self-medication include adverse drug reactions, incorrect dosage, and drug dependence to cite a few. A few of the common explanations fostering self-medication are formal education, family, availability of drugs and exposure to medical websites that provide information on diseases and health conditions. Patient prescriptions of friends and family are other sources utilized for obtaining over the table medicines. This short study is focused on the awareness of self-medication among patients and its potential adverse reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
