For development of any branch of science correctness and precision is a must. The same principle applies also to the dental public health – with the recent advances in dental sciences especially in dental public health, there is an increasing requirement of objectivity. If data are proper and accurate in objectivity, they can be properly processed and correctly interpreted. The correct processing and interpretation can lead to definite conclusions, which may stand the tests of significance & will play significant role in the advancement of that science.
