Introduction:Burnout syndrome refers to a combination of physical fatigue and emotional exhaustion, which, in turn, affects the working efficiency of a person. In India, factors such as extensive working hours, poor facilities, and physical and emotional abuse of doctors by patients and seniors lead to the high prevalence of occupational burnout among medical practitioners.Materials and Methods:The sample consisted of 300 resident doctors working in public sector hospitals across Mumbai. The “Copenhagen Burnout Inventory” questionnaire was utilized to assess the prevalence of burnout. Questionnaires were made available personally or electronically. Burnout was recorded on three parameters, personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout.Results:The average working hours recorded was 88 h/week. About 56.66% (n = 170) showed scores that indicate burnout. About 66.67% of respondents showed personal burnout, 57.14% had work-related burnout, and 16.67 had client-related burnout.Conclusion:The high prevalence of burnout syndrome among resident doctors in public sector hospitals is alarming as it not only takes a toll on the physical and mental health of the medical practitioners but also reduces their working efficiency and motivation. Stress management strategies should be propagated in hospitals to encourage work and personal life balance.
Dentoalveolar trauma occurs in relation to injuries of fall, road traffic accidents, sports injury or physical violence. There may be injury limited to the tooth, or may involve the periodontium around, or in severe cases, alveolar bone or oral mucosa may be traumatised. There can be myriad injuries of the same structure depending upon the severity of impact. The injuries of tooth most commonly being crown fractures, followed by root fractures, luxation or complete avulsion of the tooth. Every type of dentoalveolar injury requires a specific set of clinical protocols to be followed in order to successfully diagnose and manage the particular case.We hereby report a case of a 29-year-old male patient with a history of fall under the influence of alcohol, who had fallen flat on his face and had suffered intrusive luxation of permanent maxillary right central incisor and avulsion of permanent maxillary left central and lateral incisors. The exarticulated teeth still had slight soft tissue attachment to the socket. On the patients first visit to dental OPD, being a dental emergency, the avulsed teeth were immediately restored back into the socket under local anaesthesia after adequately irrigating and debriding the socket, followed by repositioning of the internally luxated tooth, so that all were in their correct anatomical position. After checking for occlusion, they were splinted in position with Erich’s arch bar and 26 gauge SS wire and after giving post-operative instructions patient was asked to follow up after 6 weeks. At 6 weeks, the affected teeth were found to be firm and so arch bar were removed. Patient was advised to follow up further. At periodic follow ups, the patient was asymptomatic and maintained adequate oral functioning of the injured teeth, thus with good patient compliance and proper diagnosis and treatment, dentoalveolar fractures can be managed successfully. The main purpose of this article is to lay emphasis on the timing of treatment of the dentoalveolar injuries. The earlier they are managed, the better is the outcome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
