Archives of dental sciences and research is a multidisciplinary, open access, peer reviewed, publication of one of the leading dental colleges in Kerala, Educare Institute of dental sciences. As healthcare professionals, evidence-based research forms the lynchpin for the advancement of this noble profession. This responsibility falls on every individual in this field to conduct research in an ethical, uncompromising manner and to aid in disseminating the new knowledge. This is an integral part of dental education as well. So we join hands with the rest of the professional community to form a small part of the scientific writing process with this endeavour. From humble beginnings, I visualize a publication of excellence in time, with credible indexing. We welcome you to enrich our journal with your articles. We hope that you will give us your full support in ensuring the success of our journal.
