Item Conservative Management Of Endodontically Treated Mandibular Molar By Indirect Composite: A Novel Approach.(2016-09) Adeshra, Kaushik; Memon, Sarfaraz; Bhatt, Ninad; Patel, RonakIntroduction: The patient’s desire for esthetics, coupled with the decreasing use of amalgam, requires that clinicians be comfortable and proficient in the use and placement of tooth-colored restoratives.Case Report: A 30 yrs old male came with chief complaint of large metallic filling on lower left back region came to the department for esthetic restoration. Patient had dental history of endodontic treatment with 36,37,46,47 and periodontal surgery with 46,47. Patient was advised by endodontic department for proper restoration of endodontically treated teeth to avoid fracture of treated tooth.Discussion: Indirect composite restorations demonstrate enhanced physical properties and predictable clinical performance having less polymerization shrinkage than direct composites. There is more strength in highly filled indirect composite. One of the most important attributes of indirect composite is the ability to create ideal contours and contacts with adjacent and opposing teeth that might be difficult to achieve clinically with large, directly placed composite restorations. [Kaushik ANJIRM 2016; 7(5):98-100]Item A cross-sectional e-survey to map clinical practice of electrocardiogram use as a screening tool in outpatient department: India office electrocardiogram e-survey(Medip Academy, 2022-05) Prajapati, Divyanshu; Prajapati, Hiren; Joshi, Vijay; Patel, Ronak; Patel, Khushbu; Mishra, Ashish; Shah, Nehal; Bhavsar, MarmikBackground:Early detection of electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities in high risk cardiovascular patients with routine ECG screening is the need of the hour. The aim of the e-survey was to understand the use of ECG in high risk cardio-metabolically deranged patients at outpatient departments (OPDs) by Indian physicians.Methods:A cross-sectional India office ECG (IOECG) e-survey was conducted using Google form questionnaire from November 2021 to December 2021 among Indian physicians. Survey results were collected and analysed using Google form survey tool.Results:We received total of 1863 responses. The results of the survey showed that while 90% of physicians agreed to the necessity of doing 12 lead ECG of cardio-metabolically deranged patients, only 61% of all physicians could perform ECG screening in less than 40% of high risk cardio-metabolic patients mainly, due to several practical challenges. Among physicians, 40.2% physicians believed that 12 lead ECG was too time consuming, 35.8% physicians believed that the unavailability of ECG device was common reason while 27.5% physicians believed that there was a lack of trained staff. Majority of physicians (69.7%) agreed to use point of care ECG device which can be a solution for more screening of such patients whether symptomatic or asymptomatic. According to the survey, 88.7% physicians would appreciate if a portable handheld ECG device was made available to facilitate screening in their practice.Conclusions:There is a need of the portable handheld ECG device which helps physicians to screen large number of cardio-metabolically deranged patients in their busy OPDs.
