Most common acute symptoms of this DNA virus are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue and jaundice skin and eyes. Mode of transmission is via blood and its products. Most commonly healthcare workers are the volunteer spreading the virus among the community because of lack of knowledge and improper teaching methodology and assessment methods. Identifying and rectifying the community health issues are very important. BDS and MBBS students' knowledge must be assessed and measures are needed to improve. Material and methods: Cross sectional study of two months had been conducted in Islam Medical and Dental College Sialkot to assess the knowledge of hepatitis B virus and their attitude towards hepatitis B patient’s care in clinical medical and dental OPD and wards. Close ended questionnaire to assess knowledge and attitude was given. Results: 83 students participated in this study. Mean age ...

Aim: To determine the dental clinicians' attitude to amalgam use during routine clinical practice in Lahore. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted among private practicing dentists in Lahore.Using convenience sampling, 100 proformas were dispersed. The questionnaire included informed consent along with demographic data such as gender and years of practice, 17 questions related to perceptionand practices, and seven questions about knowledge of dental amalgam restorations.Chi-square test was used to determine statistical significance. P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Seventy four questionnaires were returned filled by participants.Majority of the participants, 51 (68.9%), performed no amalgam restorations, but those with 10 years or more experience still used the material at their practices. Dentists based on clinical experience were: less than 5 years=14(18.9%), 5-10 years =31(41.9%), and more than 10 years = 29(39.2%). Significant association, p=0.02, was observed between clinical experience of clinicians and the number of amalgam restorations performed weekly in their clinics. Practical implication=Health organizations often debate about amalgam safety and the environmental issues of mercury. After the devastating floods in Sindh, environmental issues are recently raised in Pakistan. Conclusion: According to this research, dental amalgam use within private dental practitioners is definitely on a decline in Lahore. Some senior dental practitioners with 10 years or more of experienceregularly used amalgam as a restorative material.

The multitude of teaching methodologies in the dental curriculum has been incorporated to determine learning outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to found the perception of BDS second-year students toward the subject of dental materials and evaluate the difficulty in learning and acquisition of concepts in this preclinical year. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted among 130 students of BDS second year registered with University of Health Sciences, Lahore. Pre-designed questionnaire was used as research tool to determine the students’ perceptions towards teaching methodologies and understanding of dental Materials. Results: Only 53.7% of the students reported DM as an interesting subject. Satisfaction with content was 90% and delivery and pace of the lectures were reported at 79.3%. Majority of the student (86.8%) reported lecture ma...

Its desirable properties like high pH, sites specify and anti-inflammatory response makes it a future material in place acid etching pre-treatment. Acid etching may cause sensitivity and collapse of dentinal matrix. Methods: This in-vitro study involved, 60 caries free extracted premolars, randomly divided into three groups. Control Group (Group A) No pre-treatment of dentin prior adhesive application. Experimental Group B acid etchant was applied before adhesive application. Experimental Group C Papacarie was used as a pre-treatment agent. All these specimens were tested for shear bond strength with the help of Universal Testing Machine. All the collected data was entered in SPSS version 20.0. ANOVA was used to determine the mean SBS (Shear Bond strength) values of control and experimental groups. Results The mean shear bond strength of materia...

MEASUREMENT OF RESIDUAL MONOMER IN AUTOPOLYMERIZED ACRYLIC RESINS BY HIGH PRESSURE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY, 2017

However, it is possible to have residual monomer leakage from these resins even after setting is completed. Therefore, the objective of present study was to measure the amount of residual monomer leached from two commercial acrylic polymers by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) at different time intervals. Methods: Two Autopolymerized denture base polymers, pink-veined (Universal Dental, Meadway, England) and clear acrylic (Universal Dental, Meadway, England) were selected to measure the residual monomer concentration by HPLC (Waters System, Woldbronn, USA). Twelve disc-shaped specimens (5 mm × 25 mm) were prepared for each group (pink) and clear acrylic) and stored in distilled water sealed glass container at 37˚C at time intervals of 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 hours and 1 week. Mean concentration was recorded in parts per million (ppm) as final monomer concentration of the specimen. The data was analyzed by ANOVA and t-test to determine the differences in monomer released at different time intervals and p value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: HPLC showed statistically significant differences among two groups (P < 0.05) in the amount of eluted monomer There were significant differences at one hour (T 1) (p = 0.001), at two hours (T2) (p = 0.011) and insignificant difference (p = 0.606) was observed at the six hours (T3) interval in the residual monomer release in two groups. However, at 12 hours (T4) and one week (T6) intervals, there was a gradual decrease of residual monomer release in both groups. Conclusion: There was significant (P < 0.05) amount of residual monomer released from both pink-veined and clear Autopolymerized resins at different time intervals.
