Background and Aim: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is the main etiological bacteria present in the oral cavity that leads to dental caries. Different preceding studies have recognized green tea to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, protein-denaturing, anti-mutagenic, anti-diabetic, anticarcinogenic, and antibacterial characteristics. The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of rinsing with 2% green tea solution for 5 min. on S.mutans count in both saliva and plaque and Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI).

Background: Quality of Life assessment is considered to be as an important parameter for assessment of disease related outcome especially in context with chronic diseases like diabetes, which might have a negative impact on general wellbeing. In this study we have measured the QOL of patients suffering from type 2 diabetes by using WHOQOL-BREF score and also tried to assess the correlation of QOL with various demographic and laboratory parameters.

Aim: This article aims at giving a better understanding about the recent advancements used in the orthodontic treatment of adults. Background: Dentition is an important component of appearance. Ideal occlusion and spacing are the cornerstones of good dentition. Malocclusion not only affects hygiene and health of oral tissues but it can also lead to poor self esteem.

Introduction: Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality. PPH is commonly defined as a blood loss of 500ml or more within 24 hours after birth. Most deaths resulting from PPH occur during the first 24 hours after birth. World health organization statistics suggest that 25% of maternal deaths are due to PPH. The non- pneumatic anti- shock garment is used to prevent hypovolemic shock. We studied its efficacy for reducing maternal deaths due to postpartum hemorrhage by using them for cases of PPH transported in ambulance. Objectives of the study 1.

Introduction: Magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive method of stimulating brain and peripheral nervous system using induced currents, when used to stimulate brain it is normally referred to as Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The last decade has seen a rapid increase in applications of TMS to study cognition, behavior relations and the pathophysiology of various neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Further increase in the widespread use of TMS in medical therapeutic and research applications is expected.
