Getting published a research article in a medical journal is a sensational experience as it symbolizes the aftermath and acknowledgment of a strenuous course. Solely, a research article can have implications in clinical practice if it has followed a clear and through path and can be a savior for the patients. Envisaging a research idea, practically working on it, writing a research article by a health care provider and printing an article by editors are both crucial quality concerns. Mutually they should know the expectations of each other. This editorial features the guiding principles of writing a worthy scientific piece of research so that it is not excluded by any editor from the journal.

Place of Study: THQ Thal Hospital LayyahStudy Design: Randomized control trialDuration of Study: January 2022 to July 2022Methodology: 104 subjects were selected by non-probability non purposive sampling technique. Informed consent was taken from the patients and they were randomly allocated to 2 study groups i.e. Group A (Sodium Hypochlorite) and Group B (Hydrogen Peroxide). Mechanical preparation of root canals for the lower first molar was done in the first appointment. In Group A, a 2.5 % Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) irrigant was used, while in Group B, a 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H O ) irrigant was used. 2 The patients were followed up after 10 days. The frequency of endodontic pain on the follow-up visit was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Statistical Package for Social Science (version 23.0) (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The frequency of endodontic pain was compared between the study arms with a chi-square test.Results: A total of 104 participants were placed into 2 groups, 52 cases in each group. 56/104 (54.30%) were males while 48/104 (45.70%) were females. In Group “A” endodontic pain on 10-day follow-up visit was present in 18/52 (34.6%) patients, while in Group “B” endodontic pain on 10-day follow-up visits were present in 35/52 (68%) patients. By using the chi-square test it was observed that there was a significant association between groups and the presence of endodontic pain having p-value = 0.001Conclusion: Sodium Hypochlorite was much better than Hydrogen Peroxide in the management of endodontic pain in terms of incidence.

Objective: To assess the comparative shear bond strength and failure modes between the base and bulk Resin restorative materials.Place of Study: Dental Materials Testing Laboratory, Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad Khan Institute of Oral Health Sciences, Karachi.Study Design: In Vitro, Experimental StudyDuration of Study: One week (August 2021)Methodology: This experimental material research was conducted at the Dental Materials Test site, Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad Khan Institute of Oral Health Sciences, Karachi. Using convenient sampling a total of 16 samples were prepared, eight had Z350 (Material A) while the other eight used Ceram X (Material B) as bulk restorative material sandwiched with GIC as the base material. Samples were made using two sheets of polytetrafluoroethylene mold. Every single sheet contained holes that were 4×2 mm (diameter X thickness). Firstly, these samples were placed in distilled water and later for complete polymerization in the incubator. After this, they were thermo cycled and ultimately checked for shear bond strength.Results: Material A presented the mean value of 148.522±113.928 with single mixed and all other adhesive failure modes, whereas, Material B showed single cohesive failure and the rest of the adhesive failures with a mean of 6062,76±2547,18. Conclusion: Sufficient bonging strengths were observed between the base and bulk resin restorative materials using the sandwich technique, however, Nano-composite “Ceram X” has demonstrated slightly better shear bond strength in comparison to Z350. In addition, adhesive failure in both groups clearly indicated the lack of an adhesive system in between the sandwich material.

Objective: To identify the factors contributing to low admission rates in BDS programs in private dental colleges in South Punjab.Place of Study: This Study was conducted at three private Medical colleges in South Punjab: Multan Medical & Dental College (MMDC), Bakhtawar Ameen Medical & Dental College (BAMDC), and Shahida Islam Medical & Dental College (SIMDC).Study Design: A Cross-sectional descriptive study.Duration of Study: December 2021 to January 2022.Methodology: A total of 200 students appearing in interviews of Bachelor in Medicine and Bachelor in Surgery (MBBS) programs in three private medical colleges of Punjab were selected via convenience sampling. A self-administered questionnaire with closed-ended questions was given to the students. The questionnaire comprised of demographic information and factors leading to disinclination towards the BDS program. A 5-point Likert scale was used to document the views of the respondents. Data was entered and analyzed by utilizing SPSS version 21. Mean score, frequency, and percentages were calculated for all questionsResults: In this study, 200 applicants applying to three private medical colleges in the MBBS program were chosen. Among all the participants 42.5% (n= 85) were males and 57.5% (n= 115) were females. Among all the participants 61% and 54% strongly agreed that they did not choose BDS because of better career options in MBBS and perceived inferiority complex in the dental profession respectively. 75% of the students agreed that they will only opt for BDS as a career in case their merit is low on the list. 44% of the students did not choose dentistry due to the lack of job opportunities in our country. 66% of the students did not choose dentistry because of their Parent's influence. The scarcity of scholarships available for dental students was an important factor and 58% were hesitant to move toward dentistry because of this. 76% of the students accepted the fact that they were avoiding dentistry because of social pressure. 60% of the students did not choose BDS, realizing that there are much better opportunities for medical graduates to work abroad than dental graduates.Conclusion: Better career options in medicine, lack of job opportunities in the dental profession, the influence of parents, and scarcity of scholarships are the main factors contributing to decreased interest in admissions in dentistry over the past few years.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between elevated levels of AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) and NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) in the native population of Southern Punjab, Pakistan.Place of Study: Ibn-e-Siena Hospital & research institute, MultanStudy Design: Descriptive Cross-Sectional StudyDuration of Study: December 2021 to July 2022Methodology: 800 patient samples were included in this study. All subjects showed elevated serum Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels. To measure AFP sandwich immune detection FIA (fluorescence immunoassay) technique was used. The tests were performed on chroma for the quantitative analysis. A value above the cut-off value was 10.9 ng/mL was further investigated for the clinical history and full clinical record of anthropometric and biochemical tests.Results: Fatty Liver Disease (FLD) was diagnosed in 19.5% of subjects. Most of the cases were of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) with 98.71%. More males were affected with NAFLD with 11.5%. NAFLD was more observed in >50years aged patients at 12.62% than in patients < 50 years at 6.625%. There was a non-significant correlation between the residence type of the patient with the disease incidence. There was a significant relationship between NAFLD and Blood Pressure, Fasting Blood Sugar, Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, HBA1C, and High-Density Lipids (HDL) with a p-value <0.01.Conclusion: It is concluded that elevated levels of alpha-fetoproteins are clinically important and can be useful tools for the early diagnosis of fatty liver disease, especially NAFLD.
