On behalf of the Indian Association of Public Health Dentistry (IAPHD), I would like to warmly welcome you. As we stride forward in the ever-evolving landscape of Public Health Dentistry, fostering a culture rooted in scientific excellence, knowledge sharing, and professional growth, a significant milestone in this direction was the first-of-its-kind interactive session featuring renowned authors in public health dentistry, the Authors’ Viewpoint Live Workshop 2.0, held by the IAPHD Head Office on June 6, 2025. The workshop witnessed enthusiastic participation from nearly 200 delegates, offering a dynamic platform for skill-building in scientific reviewing “I am pleased to share that our journal has achieved an impact factor of 0.3 with Quartile 4 in the 2024 Journal Citation Report – a promising milestone driven by a surge in diverse, high-quality manuscript submissions. We look forward to continued growth and scholarly contributions that further elevate our journal’s impact.” We proudly celebrated National Public Health Dentistry Day among all the faculties across the country, reaffirming our commitment to community outreach, oral health awareness, and preventive care. The day highlighted the critical role our specialty plays in bridging gaps in oral healthcare, especially for underserved populations. Together, through research, learning, and strong partnerships, we can build a healthier, more equitable future. Best wishes to Team IAPHD – Long live IAPHD!
