As a peer-reviewed, open-access journal, JDS serves as a global platform for sharing high-quality original research and expert contributions, providing an essential resource for dental professionals, clinicians, researchers, and scholars.
Aims of the Journal
The primary objectives of JDS include:
Promoting the dissemination of the latest research findings in dental sciences to both national and international audiences.
Facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange among dental researchers, clinicians, and other professionals.
Contributing to the advancement of clinical practice and dental research by providing a platform for innovative studies and impactful scientific discoveries.
Ensuring the highest ethical standards in scholarly publication, encouraging transparency, and maintaining rigorous peer-review processes.
Scope of the Journal
The scope of JDS encompasses a broad spectrum of topics related to dental sciences and allied health disciplines, addressing various aspects of clinical practice, research, technology, and interdisciplinary studies. The journal welcomes a diverse range of article types, including but not limited to:
Clinical and Basic Dental Research: Cutting-edge original research articles covering all aspects of dentistry, including restorative dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontology, endodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, and pediatric dentistry. Research that bridges the gap between clinical applications and fundamental science is particularly encouraged.
Oral Medicine and Pathology: Studies focusing on oral health, pathology, diagnostics, treatment strategies, and preventive care, with an emphasis on innovations in oral cancer research, diagnostic techniques, and molecular biology.
Dental Materials and Biomaterials: Research on the development, testing, and clinical application of new dental materials and biomaterials, including their properties, longevity, biocompatibility, and interaction with oral tissues.
Public Health Dentistry and Preventive Care: Studies related to oral health policies, epidemiology of dental diseases, preventive measures, and health promotion strategies at individual, community, and global levels.
Oral Microbiology and Immunology: Research focusing on the role of microbial infections in oral diseases, immune responses in the oral cavity, and the development of novel antimicrobial therapies or vaccines.
Dental Imaging and Diagnostics: Advances in diagnostic imaging technologies, such as radiology, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), digital dentistry, and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics and treatment planning.
Regenerative Dentistry and Tissue Engineering: Contributions exploring regenerative approaches, stem cell research, and tissue engineering technologies aimed at restoring or enhancing dental and craniofacial structures.
Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics: Innovative research in the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of malocclusion and dentofacial deformities, as well as advancements in orthodontic appliances and techniques.
Implantology: Studies addressing the latest techniques, materials, and success rates of dental implants, as well as long-term follow-up studies on patient outcomes.
Narrative Reviews, Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses: Comprehensive reviews synthesizing the current state of knowledge on specific clinical, diagnostic, or research topics in dentistry, providing insights and recommendations for future research.
Interdisciplinary Research: Papers that explore the interaction between dental sciences and other medical disciplines, such as connections between oral health and systemic health, dental management of medically compromised patients, or the impact of nutrition on oral health.
Technological Innovations in Dentistry: Research and reviews on the application of digital technologies, such as CAD/CAM, 3D printing, tele-dentistry, and virtual reality, to enhance patient care, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes.
Ethical and Legal Issues in Dentistry: Articles that explore ethical dilemmas, professional standards, and legal aspects of dental practice, including patient consent, malpractice, and regulatory considerations.
By encompassing such a broad range of topics, JDS aims to be an essential resource for the global dental community, driving advancements in both clinical practice and academic research. The journal is open to submissions from researchers and clinicians worldwide, promoting a diverse and inclusive platform for scholarly exchange.
All submissions are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure the highest standards of scientific integrity and quality.
