From the Editor-in-Chief

Noshir R. Mehta, BDS, MDS, DMD, MS

Dear dental colleagues,

Welcome to the third issue of Dentistry India. This month we continue to expand our coverage of critical issues facing today’s dentists as they work to provide the highest standard of care to their patients. To this end, we present a timely article discussing the various oral manifestations of HIV/AIDS. You also will find a number of useful articles on subjects essential to your dental practice.

As the official publication of the Dental Council of India (DCI), Dentistry India includes in-depth educational articles in each issue. In the future, there will be a test mechanism that will allow you to earn CDE credits accepted and recognized by the DCI. In the meantime, the current articles include answer keys so that you may test your knowledge and familiarize yourself with how this process will work when it becomes available.

The first CDE article focuses on prosthesis design for anterior single-implant restorations, discussing the esthetic and functional outcomes of various treatment approaches. The second article illustrates the importance of developing a comprehensive treatment plan that recognizes occlusal issues in restorative cases.

We are pleased to provide this opportunity for all dentists in India to have an accessible, free method for earning CDE credits. On behalf of the DCI and the board of Dentistry India, I thank you for your continuing interest in this publication, and I encourage your comments and suggestions for future issues.
