TRANSCRIPT
It gives me immense pleasure to reach out to you all with the next issue of 'Dental
Imprints”. It is very heartening to know the response this dental newsletter has been able
to generate. The cover page of this issue has featured the hand work of our interns
towards the cause of Dental health. They need to be applauded for this effort which had
not only attracted the visitors of the beach but also driven home the importance and
frequency of dental visits. As they say “Well begun is half done”, we have welcomed this
New Year with a plethora of scientific educational programs. On this note, the Dental
College also takes pride in saying that it has organized more than two scientific programs
and publishes more than five articles every month! We shall soon catch up in our next
issue.Au revoir,
Dr. Sharada
