INTRODUCTION
Moda inil was initially evolved by a French neurophysiologist Professor Michel Jouvet. Moda inil started with the late 1970s creation of a progression of benzhydryl sul inyl mixes, including adra inil that was used in the management of narcolepsy in 1986. Moda inil is fundamentally utilized for its antisomnic function. Moda inil is the essential metabolite of adra inil, coming up short on the polar -OH bunch on its terminal amide, (Ballas et al., 2002) and has comparative movement to the parent drug yet is considerably more generally utilized. Moda inil was avowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the management of narcolepsy and in 2003 for sleep issues and obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea (Camacho and Stein, 2002;Jha et al., 2008).
The activity of moda inil for narcolepsy and sleepwake issue stays obscure. Moda inil goes about as an atypical, particular, and powerless dopamine inhibitor which is a roundabout way initiates the arrival of orexin neuropeptides and histamine from the horizontal nerve center and tuberomammillary core, separately all of which may add to increased arousal. Moda inil and its evidential metabolite, moda inil acid might be measured in urine, plasma or serum to screen dose in those accepting the med-ication restoratively, to af irm an analysis of harming in in irmary patients or to aid the legal examination of vehicular criminal traf ic offenses (Elliott and Swick, 2015;Taylor and Russo, 2000).
Moda inil is hypothesised to work in a localised mode, utilizing histamine, hypocretin, gammaaminobutyric acid, epinephrine and glutamate. It is a biotolerant medication with a low disposition for abuse and is often used for divergent indications. (Mehlman, 2009) This study was done with an aim to assess the awareness about the medical applications of Moda inil among dental students.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was done with a selfadministered questionnaire with 10 questions circulated among 100 dental students. The questionnaire assessed the awareness about Moda inil therapy in medical applications, their medicinal uses, antisomnic activity, mechanism of action and side effects. The responses were recorded and analysed.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
94% of the respondents were not aware of medical uses of Moda inil therapy ( Figure 1). 83 % were not aware of antisomnic activity therapy ( Figure 2). 90 % were not aware of the mechanism of action of Moda inil therapy ( Figure 3). 85% were not aware of the side effects of Moda inil therapy ( Figure 4).
Moda inil is a useful medication with an enormous possibility in psychiatry and general medication. Rewarding day sleepiness is perplexing, and deciding the exact idea of the sleep issue is imperative. Moda inil might be a compelling operator in several sleep conjonctures. Until now, the most grounded proof among off-mark utilizes exists for the utilization of moda inil in a lack of ability to concentrate consistently scatter, postanaesthetic sedation, and cocaine reliance and withdrawal and also as an aide to antidepressant medication for depression.
In sleep-denied people, moda inil improves the state of mind, weakness, sleepiness and cognizance to a comparable degree as caffeine however has a more extended term of activity. Proof for improved perception in non-sleep-denied sound volunteers is contentious. Moda inil improves excess sleepiness and sickness seriousness in each of the three issues for which the US FDA endorses it, for example, narcolepsy, shift-work sleep issue and obstructive sleep apnoea with leftover over the top sleepiness in spite of ideal utilization of consistent positive aviation route pressure (CPAP) (Rush et al., 2002;Wisor, 2013). Moda inil was useful for depressing side effects in bipolar disorder in a study that prohibited patients with stimulant-initiated mania. A solitary portion of moda inil may rush recuperation from general sedation after day medical procedure. A solitary portion of moda inil reinforced the capacity of crisis room doctors to go to instructional talks following a night move, yet didn't improve their capacity to commute home and caused sleep aggravations subsequently. Moda inil had a signi icant misleading impact on results, for example, weakness, over the top sleepiness and despondency in patients with horrible mental unhealthiness, signi icant depressive disorder, schizophrenia, post-polio exhaustion and various sclerosis diseases (Connolly et al., 2015).
Moda inil has been used non-restoratively as a "smart drug" by understudies, of ice workers and warriors, As a 'smart drug' it as far as anyone knows increases mental ixation and stays away from rest, attributes which attract understudies, specialists in the corporal and tech domains, aeronautics based military workforce, masters, truck operators and call-center employees Eckart (2006).
Moda inil and armoda inil have been concentrated as a supplement to antipsychotic prescriptions in the management of schizophrenia. They have been reliably appeared to have no impact on positive side effects or psychological execution. A 2015 metainvestigation found that moda inil and armoda inil may marginally lessen contrary indications in individuals with intense schizophrenia. However, it doesn't seem valuable for individuals with the condition who are steady, with high negative manifestation scores (Eckart, 2006). Among drugs exhibited to be compelling for diminishing negative side effects in blend with enemies of psychotics, moda inil and armoda inil are among the less effective sizes (Andrade et al., 2015).
Moda inil is utilized off-mark in studies with individuals with side effects of chemotherapy subjective impedance, otherwise called "chemobrain", yet a 2011 survey found that it was no better than placebo. It is in use in various sclerosis related exhaustion, yet the subsequent proof was feeble and equivocal (Portela et al., 2011). General sedation is required for some medical procedures. Yet, there might be waiting weakness, sedation, or potentially laziness after the medical procedure has inished that goes on for a considerable length of time to days. In outpatient environment wherein patients are released home after a medical procedure, this sedation, weariness and periodic unsteadiness is risky, and moda inil had been tried for its utilization in these conditions (Mankad et al., 2010).
Moda inil actuates and hinders a few cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and has the potential for cooperating with various drugs. The moda inil portion ought to be decreased in the old and patients with hepatic sickness. Alertness is required in patients with extreme renal de iciency as a result of considerable increments in levels of moda inil acid. Regular unfavorable occasions with moda inil incorporate insomnia, cerebral pain, nausea, anxiety and hypertension. Diminished hunger, weight reduction have been accounted for with more noteworthy recurrence in kids and young people, most likely because of the higher portions utilized. Moda inil has mild addictive potency in a few patients (Lavault et al., 2011).

CONCLUSION
The awareness about the use of Moda inil therapy in medical applications is very less among dental students. Increased awareness programs and sensitization and continuing dental education programs along with greater importance to the curricular modi ications should be incorporated to improve the awareness levels.
