DentaPedia: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Health Sciences is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing pioneering clinical and translational research at the forefront of dental medicine and oral health sciences. Positioned at the critical intersection of clinical dentistry, biomaterials engineering, and public health epidemiology, the journal serves as an authoritative scholarly forum for dental surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists, oral pathologists, and craniofacial researchers worldwide. DentaPedia prioritizes macro-level diagnostic advancements, rigorous randomized clinical trials, and innovative therapeutic modalities that address complex stomatognathic pathologies. By bridging raw laboratory biomaterial breakthroughs with evidence-based clinical workflows, the journal fosters a holistic, comprehensive understanding of oral systemic health, preventive care, and advanced maxillofacial rehabilitation.

Scope and Topics

The journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, critical reviews, and innovative clinical case series that offer significant contributions to the following thematic areas:

  • Clinical Dentistry & Advanced Therapeutics: Innovations in restorative dentistry, endodontic therapies, advanced prosthodontics, implantology workflows, and minimally invasive operative procedures.

  • Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Pathology, and Medicine: Diagnosis and surgical management of craniofacial deformities, oral oncological structures, tempromandibular disorders (TMD), and systemic diseases with oral manifestations.

  • Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics: Biomechanical models, growth modification frameworks, digital orthodontics, clear aligner technologies, and interceptive therapeutic paradigms.

  • Periodontology & Oral Biology: Molecular mechanisms of periodontal pathogenesis, bone regeneration therapies, oral microbiomics, salivary diagnostics, and tissue engineering.

  • Pediatric Dentistry & Community Oral Health: Preventive cariology for young learners, dental public health policies, geriatric dentistry, fluoridation metrics, and the mitigation of socio-economic oral health disparities.

  • Dental Biomaterials & Digital Technologies: Biocompatibility validation of novel dental materials, CAD/CAM integration, 3D bioprinting in prosthetics, and the ethical implementation of artificial intelligence in dental imaging.

Publication Frequency

To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and timely dissemination of critical stomatognathic breakthroughs, DentaPedia is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues targeting urgent advancements in digital dentistry, dental tissue engineering, or global oral healthcare interventions may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

Peer Review Process

DentaPedia enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of clinical integrity, patient safety, and scientific validity.

  1. Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Medical Editor to assess thematic alignment, methodological soundess, and strict compliance with ethical guidelines (including mandatory Institutional Review Board/IRB clearances and clinical trial registrations). Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.

  2. Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers who are established clinical practitioners or scientific experts in the specific domain of dentistry or oral biology.

  3. Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on the empirical merit, clinical reproducibility, and public health impact of the work.

Mission Statement

The mission of DentaPedia is to deconstruct complex craniofacial pathologies and catalyze safe, innovative dental workflows within a rapidly changing medical landscape. Grounded in the philosophy that equitable oral health is an absolute pillar of general systemic well-being and human dignity, the journal aims to democratize advanced dental knowledge by providing an unrestricted, high-impact platform for global scholarly dialogue. Through the promotion of diverse and robust methodological approaches—encompassing longitudinal epidemiological surveys, double-blind randomized controlled trials, and high-resolution laboratory material tracking—DentaPedia seeks to empower dental practitioners, inspire biomedical engineers, and shape evidence-based oral health policies worldwide.
