The primary objective of this research is to investigate the major advantages of stem cell dental implants alongside their role in tooth regeneration and their potential to replace the already existing dental implant method. Dental implants are considered the latest teeth replacement technology in the 20th century. Despite its obvious purpose, the treatments are still uncommon due to their extensive healing process and other potential risks regarding infections. On the account of these concerns, scientists are looking into new possibilities of teeth replacement treatment and therapy. Stem cell therapy is commonly used for treating diseases by replacing tissues that are damaged due to injuries or diseases. Stem cells are unspecialized cells and are capable of diving and regrowing themselves. Due to these properties, stem cell dental implants are now considered to be a new alternative to teeth implants.

Association of Social Anxiety Disorder and Self-Esteem among Young Adults – A Single Centre Study

/in /by

Social anxiety disorder is a serious mental health issue in India which often goes undiagnosed and undertreated [3]. In addition, studies have shown social anxiety disorder to have an inverse relation to self-esteem [13]. The aim of the study is to evaluate the association between social anxiety disorder and low self-esteem among young adults. The research is a cross sectional descriptive study among the medical undergraduates. Among the participants suffering from social anxiety disorder many of the individuals had social phobia while a few had traditional social anxiety as well. As a result the prevalence of low self-esteem in the study group has a direct association with social anxiety disorder and shows statistically significant data. Thus, an effective way to deal with this condition would be to spread awareness and establish an active student support system and guidance team on campus.
