Sources indicate that the current PDA leadership is acting as a guardian body, tasked with reviving the association, restoring trust within the dental community, drafting a robust new constitution, and paving the way for future elections. The goal is to hand over a well-structured and autonomous PDA to the newly elected leadership in the coming term.
