<![CDATA[Introduction: -Growth of all living organism depends on nutrition .In human being growth period is said tobe from conception to adolescence and after that nutrition is required for maintenance of body. Lot of workhas been done regarding role of nutrition during pregnancy, infancy and childhood but hardly any attentionis paid to the group called adolescence i.e. period between childhood and adulthood. The most prevalentnutritional condition is anaemia worldwide. Prevalence in India of anemia among young girls were 56 % andthis amount to an average 64 million girls at any point in time.Aim: To determine the effectiveness of planned teaching on knowledge regarding prevention of nutritionalanemia among adolescence.Materials and Methods: A pre-experimental pre-test, post-test research design was used to conduct thisstudy. The setting was selected in the Kasturba Vidya Mandir Sewagram,Wardha (Maharashtra) after getting ethical permission. Purposive sampling was the sampling method used tocollect data from 9th standard students on the basis of structured knowledge questionnaire. After collectingpre-test data, planned teaching was given for intervention regarding prevention of nutritional anemia toadolescencents. Seven days were provided to the samples for utilizing planned teaching which was organizedfor 45-50 minutes. Post-test information was gathered after seven days from the day of intervention. Thedata were described by frequency, percentage and t-test was used to describe the difference between pre-testand post-test knowledge score. Chi-square test was also used to find out the association between knowledgeof 9th standard students regarding prevention of nutritional anaemia and selected demographic variables.Results: There was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge scores interpreted thatplanned teaching on knowledge regarding prevention of nutritional anaemia among adolescencents wereeffective. Mean value of pretest was 10.10 and posttest was 19.08and standard deviation values of pretestwas ±2.27and posttest was ±2.21. The calculated t-value was 19.66and p-value was 0.000.Conclusion: - The study was effective because the post-test knowledge score improved than the pre-testknowledge score. So the planned teaching has proved to improve 9th standard students knowledge regardingprevention of nutritional anaemia.]]>

<![CDATA[Summary: An electronic apex locator(EAL) is a device used to measure the working length (WL) of theroot canal space(RCS) and proved to be a great help to the endodontist reducing radiation exposure ofboth patients and clinicians and providing accurate reading for the WL. Evolution of different generationsof EAL helped to eradicate the shortcomings of the previous generations providing precise measurementof the WL. Electronic Apex locators are used to detect any perforations, furcation involvement, also usedto detect horizontal fractures, also to detect internal or external resorption. With so many uses, it is stillcontraindicated in patients with pace makers and inaccurate reading in canals with common irrigants likeEthylenediamine tetraacetic acid and sodium hypochlorite. It requires dry or partially dry canals to givereadings with accuracy. It also gives inaccurate reading in the presence of semi-conductive materials andhence the canals should be free of them. Though it provides almost precise measurement of the WL it cannotbe replaced with radiographs but can be used as an adjunct with it. Pre- and post-operative radiographs arestill necessary for the success of the endodontic treatment as it provides an idea for any periapical lesionand degree of curvature of roots. Acceptance of an electronic apex locator to determine the correct WLhas still not gained approval worldwide. Lack of exposure to the technology by the operator, inadequateknowledge of the root canal anatomy and cost of the instrument are also the factors for it not gainingworldwide acceptance.]]>
