Background: Neck pain is a common global issue, ranking as the sixth major cause of disability. Non-specific neck pain (NSNP) affects many, particularly housewives in India, due to factors like sedentary lifestyles and repetitive movements. NSNP prevalence varies widely, ranging from 16.7% to 75.1% globally. Housewives tasks, like continuous leaning forward and lifting heavy items, contribute to their vulnerability. Understanding NSNP's prevalence and risks among housewives is crucial for effective intervention and improved quality of life. Method: In a 4-week study, 30 middle-aged participants with acute nonspecific neck pain were selected based on specific criteria. They were divided into two groups: Group A received Bowen therapy, while Group B received manual trigger point therapy. Both groups underwent treatment sessions for 5 days a week over the 4-week period. Result: The data was analyzed using SPSS Version 29. Statistical analysis revealed that both groups exhibited significant improvement, with Group A (Bowen therapy) showing greater improvement compared to Group B (Manual trigger point therapy). Conclusion: The study compared Bowen therapy and manual trigger point therapy for non-specific neck pain in housewives. Bowen therapy showed greater improvement in pain relief and function compared to manual trigger point therapy.

The public is greatly concerned about the impact of breath on personal and professional aspects of life. It is an issue that affects one's quality of life and social relationships leading to feelings of self-esteem, sadness and other mood disorders. Professionals such as dentists, doctors, dietitians and psychologists should collaborate to assess and provide treatment for this problem. Therefore, it is crucial to study the causes and explore treatment options for halitosis. With society's increasing emphasis on cleanliness interest in odor has also grown. Bad breath can cause distress and impede social interactions because it is challenging to detect oral malodor on our own. Even individuals who do not have bad breath might experience anxiety or distress when they notice others reacting by pinching their noses or making grimaces during conversations. Given its origins, addressing breath requires a comprehensive evaluation and intervention from experts, in dentistry, medicine, nutrition and psychology.

Odontomas are hamartomatous lesions or malformations rather than true neoplasms which are generally asymptomatic. Making up 22% of all odontogenic tumors of the jaw, it is the most prevalent benign odontogenic tumor. It can be either compound or complex odontoma. Complex odontomas do not resemble teeth at all, whereas compound odontomas, which are composed of calcified tissues which resemble tooth. Odontomas usually are diagnosed accidentally on routine radiographic examination. Complex odontomas are frequently found in the posterior mandible. We report the case of unusually large sized complex odontoma in right posterior mandible which had been successfully managed by surgical excision by multiple separated blocks via intraoral approach to prevent pathological fracture of mandible and avoiding extraoral incision which leads to unwanted extraoral scar.
