Mukha ( mouth or oral cavity) is one of the important parts of our body. The digestive system starts from mukha so it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene for our overall health status. Mukhapaka is a commonest disease of oral mucosa found in India as well as all over the world. Mukhapaka can be correlated with stomatitis or mouth ulcers as per modern science. Oral ulceration is encountered frequently in our daily practice. Stomatitis is curable & not considered a threat to life but these ulcers have a significant negative impact on oral health, affecting the quality of life. It also affects normal activities like eating & swallowing. Sometimes brushing & talking also becomes painful. In Ayurveda various treatment modalities are described for mukhapaka. I have selected one of them to establish the efficacy of Gandush on mukhapaka in my present case study.

Eye is considered as the most important & delicate sense organ of human body. The eye, an organ of sight is of most importance as far as ones existence is concerned. Eyes hold special status among all the senses. Eyes are the most specious gift of the God to the living beings. Good vision is crucial for social and intellectual development of a person. So to protect this organ is not only a necessity but also a responsibility of every individual. The symptom of dry eye like pain, blurry vision, foreign body sensation,burning sensation ,sensitivity to light are similar to that seen in Shushkakshipaka. It is very commonly found in human being as per chikitsa aspect according to susharuta from 52 sadhya netra roga . Shushkakshipaka is sadhya roga. So according to modern ophthalmology Shushkakshipaka can be correlated with Dry Eye. The recent international Dry Eye workshop report Define Dry Eye as a multifactoral disease of the tears and ocular surface that result in symptoms of discomfort visual disturbance and tearfilm instability. Tarpan and Nasya is treatment of ocular disease in shushkakshipaka chikitsa karma there is clinical study of Yashthimadhu Siddha Ghruta & Anutail Nasya. So I have selected this topic “Comparative clinical study of Role of Yashthimadhu Siddha Ghruta Tarpan & Anutail Nasya in Shushakakshipaka “. As Yashthimadhu, Content of Anutail and Go Ghruta these dravya are stated as pathyakar and chakshushya.

Objective The percentage of general dental practitioners is very common in India, so the purpose of this study was to assess attitude of general dental practitioners toward root canal treatment (RCT) procedures. Materials and methods In a cross-sectional study, 178 dentists (96 males and 82 females) were surveyed using a selfadministered, structured questionnaire pretested through a pilot survey. The questionnaire collected information regarding RCT procedures among participants. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 15. Frequency and percentage distributions were calculated. Results In the present study most of the participants, i.e. 86.4% reported that they perform (RCT) procedures in posterior teeth. Isolation is mainly done with cotton rolls only (74.6%) and very few are using rubber dam in their practice (3.2%). Radiographs were not taken after every step in most of the cases. Rotary instruments were used in less number of cases and K-files were the most popular instruments (66.2%). Also single sitting RCT was not commonly seen. Clinical significance This study indicates that most of the general dental practitioners’ do not comply with quality standards guidelines such as use of rubber dam as isolation. So dentist should update their knowledge and practices with current techniques and materials through CDE programs. How to cite this article Gaikwad A, Jain D, Rane P, Bhondwe S, Taur S, Doshi S.
