Address from Chairman of The Indonesian Association of The Faculty of Dentistry (AFDOKGI)

We agree that all faculty of dentistry in Indonesia needs to contribute to dental health development. By this, hopefully we can contribute to promote oral health, prolong tooth life, and improve quality of life in our country as well as in our Asia region. To reach this goal faster, we need to exchange information and enhance scientific collaboration. The Indonesian Journal of Dental Research (The Indonesian J Dent Res) will be an effective form of communication among dentists and researchers and also a very considerable part in scientific and technological development towards the goal.Meanwhile, Indonesia is a very unique country. Although the prevalence of oral and dental diseases is considered high, but Indonesia is rich with culture, natural resources, and local or indigenous perspective which can be an advantage in term of technological perspective in dentistry. The richness of the country is needed to be investigated and explored in order to improve oral and dental health. The communication and collaboration among dentists and researchers are needed to accelerate the process towards the improvement of oral and dental health.I do hope that this journal will be an effective communication channel for better oral and dental health in Indonesia. Congratulation for the publication of the first issue of the journal. We hope to learn more from the continuous scientific communication through The Indonesian Journal of Dental Research.M.

Message from the Dean and the Chairman of Dental Surgery

The first course of Dental Surgery at the (Royal) University of Malta commenced in October of 1933 in the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. Recognition of the Diploma in Dental Surgery by the General Medical Council of the UK was granted in 1936, a year before the end of the course. (The General Dental Council as a distinct regulatory body was established later). Dental Surgery become a Faculty , separate from Medicine and Surgery, in 1954. St. Luke's Hospital has since then also been designated a Dental Teaching Hospital. The most serious problem facing the Department at this stage of development is the uncertainty associated with the move to the new hospital, We are scheduled to move in Phase Three whenever that maybe.peer-reviewedpeer-reviewe

Letter from the Chairman

It’s almost certainly a cliché at this point, but it’s been an incredibly long year and a half for all of us. This year’s fourth year class was forced to learn alongside their churches how to do ministry in the midst of a pandemic. This year’s vicars will have done their entire vicarages during a pandemic. Even though we’ve been inperson for classes, things have still been markedly different on campus. Classrooms are socially distanced and have even been conducted online at times. The usual events that characterize the seminary calendar have been mostly gone. Even outside of the pandemic the United States has been rocked with protests and debates about racial injustice. We’ve endured a contentious and disputed election. Sometimes it feels like the world around us has been burning
