It is my pleasure to welcome you to this issue of the International Journal of Oral Health Sciences. In these pages, you will find a diverse collection of articles that not only advance our understanding of emerging methodologies but also highlight the importance of interdisciplinary collaborations. Dentistry with its all-encompassing curriculum has shown great progress and achievement. As alumni of this institution, we carry forward not only the skills imparted within its walls but also the values of service, integrity, and lifelong learning. This journal serves as a platform to showcase your contributions, inspire current students, and strengthen the bonds within our community. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the researchers, authors, and reviewers who have shared their expertise and insights and helped in enriching the previous issue of this journal. Our journal is making efforts to improve its standard and is currently pursuing its mission to index for DOAJ and Scopus. Hence, I invite all colleagues and members of the alumni to openly support the journal by publishing upcoming quality research articles as well as cite recently published articles from our journal.
