OralCare Journal of Clinical Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery
Aim and Scope
OralCare Journal of Clinical Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery publishes original research, reviews, and clinical reports across the full landscape of dental science and oral healthcare. The journal is committed to covering both surgical and non-surgical aspects of dentistry, including general dental practice, clinical specialties, and advanced surgical interventions involving the craniofacial complex.
The journal serves clinicians, researchers, educators, and specialists who work in the fields of oral medicine, maxillofacial surgery, and general dentistry. It encourages submissions that contribute to diagnostic precision, therapeutic effectiveness, and improved patient outcomes in oral health.
Key areas of interest include:
- Oral Medicine and Pathology: Diagnosis and management of oral mucosal diseases, soft tissue lesions, oral manifestations of systemic illness, and pre-cancerous or cancerous conditions.
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Dentoalveolar surgery, trauma management, orthognathic surgery, temporomandibular joint disorders, bone grafting, implant placement, and reconstructive techniques.
- Restorative Dentistry: Management of dental caries, tooth fractures, restorative materials evaluation, adhesion science, and direct or indirect restorations.
- Endodontics: Root canal treatment techniques, pulp preservation strategies, diagnostic imaging, and outcomes in endodontic surgery.
- Periodontics: Periodontal therapy, soft tissue grafting, bone regeneration, and management of periodontal-systemic disease connections.
- Prosthodontics and Oral Rehabilitation: Fixed and removable prostheses, implant-supported restorations, occlusal planning, and full-mouth rehabilitation.
- Orthodontics: Malocclusion correction, skeletal anchorage systems, aligner therapy, growth modification, and long-term stability studies.
- Pediatric Dentistry: Preventive care, developmental conditions, pulp therapy in children, interceptive orthodontics, and behavior management.
- Cosmetic and Aesthetic Dentistry: Smile design, tooth whitening, minimally invasive veneers, and patient perception of aesthetics.
- Imaging and Digital Dentistry: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM systems, and 3D printing in diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Public Health and Dental Education: Oral health promotion, access to care, community dentistry, and innovation in dental training.
The journal welcomes a variety of submission types, including experimental studies, retrospective and prospective clinical analyses, technical reports, diagnostic evaluations, case series, and literature-based reviews.
All articles undergo a thorough peer-review process. Submissions must demonstrate clinical relevance, scientific validity, and clear presentation of results or observations. Interdisciplinary studies, particularly those involving collaboration between surgical and restorative teams or between dentistry and other medical specialties, are also encouraged.
Articles accepted for publication are made openly accessible without restrictions. By supporting transparent, high-quality research in all areas of dentistry and oral surgery, OralCare Journal of Clinical Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Surgery aims to inform clinical decision-making and promote excellence in oral healthcare.
