Welcome Message from the Chair

It is with great pleasure that, on behalf of the Editorial Advisory
Board, I extend a warm welcome to the inaugural edition of DRA Journal. Our mission, fortified by the support of our esteemed board, is to provide a profound resource that offers dental practitioners
and professionals comprehensive insights into the latest discoveries
and trends in dental healthcare promotion, practice, and research.

DRA Journal, with its innovative and forward-thinking approach, stands as a beacon of knowledge dissemination that transcends linguistic barriers. Through the power of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) translation technology, we have made it possible to present our content in over 40 languages, at the push of a button.  By bridging the language gap, we foster inclusivity and create a global platform for collaboration and shared learning.

Our primary focus remains on addressing the intricate clinical and operational challenges confronted by Asian dentists and oral healthcare professionals. Central to our mandate is the publication of timely and germane content that revolves around Asia, offering substance and pertinence to both the diligent practitioners and scholarly researchers within our vast community. 

Within the pages of this inaugural edition, you shall discover an array of enlightening and contemplative articles. They will encompass a mosaic of subjects, ranging from news, information, and trends that exert a transformative influence on the entirety of the dental team, to the portrayal of clinical case studies and empirical research that showcase exemplary practices and innovative methodologies. DRA Journal, at its core, aspires to foster a collaborative milieu that thrives on the dissemination of knowledge and the exchange of ideas. To this end, we wholeheartedly welcome contributions from the erudite dental community, transcending the bounds of the Asia Pacific region. 

With anticipation, I invite you to join us on this intellectual journey. Together, we can shape the future of dentistry, transcending geographical boundaries and making a lasting impact on the global stage. Your unwavering support is greatly valued and appreciated. We eagerly anticipate providing you
with insightful content that enriches your practice and elevates the stature of the dental profession as a whole.

I look forward to sharing this AI powered, exciting new journey with you!

Kind Regards,

Prof. Lakshman Samanarayake,

Chair, Editorial Advisory Board
