State Office Message

Dear colleagues,

Indian Dental Association has initiated a different strategy to cope with the global challenges faced by our profession in our country. The association is taking research and skill development for our young colleagues seriously. Conclaves for research and innovation help to ignite the mindset of our young professionals. It is believed and understood that dentistry is not just about becoming a clinician or an academician but also holds vast potential for entrepreneurship. The critical thoughts are encouraged to focus on scientific studies. IDA Tamil Nadu has charted out skill empowerment centers to acquaint themselves with recent developments. Affordable clinical dentistry should be made available to all sections of people in all townships and even in villages where a sufficient population is available. This journal will help to showcase new developments through original research articles and simplified clinical techniques contributed by our fellows. It aims to create new avenues for startups, with support from our IDA and the government, to achieve our vision. I wish and applaud the editorial team all the very best!
