About the Journal
Overview
Oral health plays a fundamental role in overall well-being, influencing not only physical health but also psychological and social functioning. As advancements in dental materials, techniques, and technologies continue to reshape the field, the need for robust, evidence-based research in dental sciences has never been more crucial. From diagnostics and prevention to restorative and surgical care, the dental profession is increasingly driven by innovation and interdisciplinary integration.
The Innovative Dental Sciences Journal is a peer-reviewed, open-access platform designed to promote high-quality research and clinical advancements across all disciplines of dentistry and oral health. The journal welcomes contributions from researchers, clinicians, academicians, and students worldwide, aiming to foster knowledge exchange and scientific dialogue in dental practice and oral biology.
Key areas of interest include prosthodontics, periodontology, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, restorative dentistry, dental implants, oral pathology, forensic odontology, dental radiology, pediatric dentistry, and public health dentistry. Emerging fields such as digital dentistry, nanodentistry, laser applications, and bioengineered dental materials are also strongly encouraged.
The journal also explores the connection between systemic health and oral diseases, including research on oral manifestations of systemic illnesses, oral microbiome, and the implications of dental care in patients with comorbidities. Its interdisciplinary approach ensures the publication of content that bridges laboratory research with clinical application, enhancing patient outcomes and care standards.
The Innovative Dental Sciences Journal ensures a fair and efficient review process via its Online Submission System, through which authors can easily track the progress of their manuscript. Submissions are reviewed by qualified editorial board members or external experts, and final decisions are based on approval from at least two independent reviewers and the editor.
