The Journal EDITORIAL Greetings! “Education is a social process, Education is growth. Education is not a preparation for life, Education is life itself.” - John Dewey I am really happy to welcome my worthy viewers to the first issue of our prestigious journal where I have been bestowed with the honour of being the Editor-in-chief. A lot of effort has been put by IDA Punjab along with the editorial team, esteemed reviewer board and our authors, who have shown commendable trust in us, and have shared their valuable research work with us. I feel that with your immense love and support, our journal will scale to new heights. Through the modem of our journal, we strive to provide a platform where there is an exchange of knowledge between the contributors and the dental clinicians, in order to put to a significant use in day to day practice. Our journal tends to dip into that pool to garner the essence of scientific knowledge and impart it to our fellow colleagues and students. As the old year merges into the new in seamless continuum, the work of delivering oral health education also continues uninterrupted. The standard of work may deteriorate if not fueled by new theories, methods, and tools. To enhance the standards of dentistry, we attempt to provide our readers with the recent advancements and developments of our field. Nothing can be more gratifying than to generate such an enthusiastic response from our readers. I am greatly humbled by the enormous contributions of the dental professionals and research scholars to this journal. Your quality work is of paramount importance to all the budding professionals as well as the dental fraternity. We are committed to par excellence and will continue to impart a high quality scientific knowledge to our fellow peers. Thank you. Dr. Amrit Raj Bahl Editor-in-Chief . 2 Vol. 13 No. 1 Jan-April 2017
