Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care

Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care

About Journal

The Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care (ISSN: 3066-814X) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that serves as a trusted platform for dental professionals, clinicians, researchers, and academic scholars dedicated to advancing knowledge in the field of dentistry and oral healthcare. This journal is committed to publishing high-quality, evidence-based articles that reflect the latest research findings, clinical innovations, and advancements in dental practices from around the world. With an emphasis on improving patient outcomes and dental health policies, the journal welcomes submissions that span the broad spectrum of clinical dentistry and oral care disciplines.

The journal provides an inclusive space for the dental community to share research and insights that support excellence in patient care and education. Oral health is a cornerstone of general well-being, and through the dissemination of carefully reviewed articles, the journal seeks to promote clinical excellence, scientific rigour, and innovation in dental and oral healthcare practices.

Dentistry is a continuously evolving field that draws upon biological sciences, materials engineering, and advanced clinical techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent conditions affecting the oral cavity, jaw, and related structures. The Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care serves to bridge the gap between laboratory research and clinical application, offering readers a diverse array of studies that are both practical and scientifically robust.

Scope of Interest

The journal covers a wide range of topics in clinical dentistry and oral health sciences. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Preventive Dentistry: Research on strategies to prevent dental diseases, such as caries and periodontal conditions, including fluoride application, oral hygiene education, and sealants.
  • Restorative Dentistry: Articles focusing on procedures aimed at restoring the form and function of teeth, including fillings, crowns, bridges, and modern biomaterials.
  • Periodontology: Studies that address the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting structures of the teeth.
  • Endodontics: Research related to root canal treatments, pulp therapy, and preservation of natural teeth.
  • Oral Surgery and Maxillofacial Care: Clinical studies, case reports, and reviews involving surgical interventions in the oral cavity, jawbone, and facial structures.
  • Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics: Submissions covering tooth alignment, growth modification, and the biomechanics of orthodontic appliances.
  • Pediatric Dentistry: Studies focused on dental care for children, including behaviour management, early prevention, and developmental dental conditions.
  • Prosthodontics: Research involving the design, creation, and application of dental prostheses to restore oral function and aesthetics.
  • Dental Public Health: Community-based research that evaluates the distribution and determinants of oral health outcomes and the effectiveness of dental health policies and programs.
  • Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine: Manuscripts that examine the etiology, diagnosis, and management of oral diseases, lesions, and disorders of the oral mucosa.

The journal also encourages submissions related to innovations in dental technology, emerging treatment modalities, diagnostic imaging, dental biomaterials, clinical case documentation, and interdisciplinary care.

Encouraging Innovation in Clinical Practice

Modern dentistry increasingly relies on a combination of clinical expertise, technological advancement, and evidence-based protocols to deliver comprehensive oral healthcare. The journal aims to encourage contributions that explore how innovative tools, such as intraoral scanners, digital radiography, and chairside CAD/CAM systems, are transforming the delivery of dental services.

Similarly, research that investigates the clinical outcomes of new dental materials — including bioactive glass, nano-hybrid composites, and zirconia-based ceramics — is highly valued. The journal remains a venue for cutting-edge work that translates directly into improved patient care and procedural efficiency.

Global Relevance and Practical Impact

The Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care values the diversity of dental challenges and practices across different regions and populations. Submissions with a global health focus or those addressing underserved communities are especially welcome. Articles may highlight disparities in access to dental care, innovative public health initiatives, or culturally sensitive models of oral health promotion.

The journal prioritises content that not only contributes to academic knowledge but also offers practical insights for clinical application. By facilitating the exchange of new ideas between researchers, dental practitioners, policy-makers, and educators, the journal supports ongoing efforts to make dentistry more effective, ethical, and accessible.

Commitment to Open Access and Scientific Integrity

The journal operates on an open-access publishing model. This ensures that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide without any subscription or paywall barrier. Authors benefit from increased visibility, and readers benefit from immediate access to full-text content, fostering wider dissemination of knowledge.

Each submission undergoes a rigorous peer review process to uphold the highest standards of academic and scientific integrity. Peer review is conducted by qualified professionals with relevant expertise in the manuscript's subject area. All articles are assessed for originality, methodological soundness, relevance to clinical practice, and clarity of presentation.

Types of Articles Published

The Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care accepts a variety of article types, ensuring that both established researchers and emerging voices in dentistry have an opportunity to contribute. These include:

  • Original Research Articles: Detailed accounts of clinical studies, laboratory investigations, or population-based research in dentistry.
  • Systematic and Narrative Reviews: In-depth analyses of existing literature to summarize current evidence or propose new perspectives.
  • Clinical Case Reports and Series: Well-documented patient cases that illustrate rare conditions, unexpected outcomes, or novel treatment approaches.
  • Technical Notes and Methodological Papers: Articles describing innovative techniques, tools, or protocols used in dental practice.
  • Short Communications: Concise manuscripts that present preliminary data, pilot studies, or observations of significance to dental science.
  • Opinion Articles and Editorials: Thoughtful commentary on current issues in clinical dentistry, education, or policy.

Audience and Contributors

The journal caters to a broad audience, including general dental practitioners, specialists, dental surgeons, oral health researchers, public health professionals, academic faculty, and students in dental and allied health sciences. Contributors are expected to maintain the highest ethical standards in research and reporting, and all manuscripts must reflect original work that has not been submitted elsewhere.

Looking Ahead

With the rapid evolution of dental materials, patient expectations, and technological interfaces, the future of oral healthcare lies in the integration of clinical skill with scientific inquiry. The Journal of Clinical Dentistry and Oral Care aspires to be at the forefront of this transformation by continuously providing access to impactful research and expert guidance in the discipline.

We welcome submissions that inspire, educate, and drive meaningful improvement in dental practices globally. Authors, researchers, and clinicians interested in shaping the future of oral health are invited to contribute their work and become a part of our growing international community.
