Greetings to all! On behalf of the Indian Association of Public Health Dentistry (IAPHD), I would like to extend a warm welcome to all. As we continue to advance the field of Public Health Dentistry, fostering a culture of scientific excellence, knowledge dissemination and professional development remains a top priority. Strengthening research capabilities and refining the peer review process are crucial steps toward ensuring the credibility and impact of scholarly work in our domain. A remarkable step forward in this journey was the National Level Peer Reviewers Workshop, organized by the IAPHD Head Office on January 30 and 31, 2025. With the enthusiastic participation of approximately 250 attendees, the workshop provided an inspiring platform to refine critical skills in scientific reviewing, fostering a collaborative spirit and a shared commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality and integrity in Public Health Dentistry research. In the constantly evolving field of Public Health Dentistry, continuous learning, collaboration, and evidence-based practices are the keys to driving meaningful change. By engaging in research, capacity-building, and policy advocacy and strengthening partnerships with academia, government, and healthcare organizations, we can create sustainable solutions for a healthier future. I wish the team at IAPHD all the very best. Long live IAPHD! Financial support and sponsorship Nil. Conflicts of interest There are no conflicts of interest.
