The journal is dedicated to publishing high-quality scientific research in orofacial sciences, health sciences, and related interdisciplinary fields, encompassing basic, applied, and clinical research.

Peer Review Process: All types of submissions will be subjected to a double-blinded peer-review process (neither authors nor reviewers know each other's name or affiliations), except for the submission under the category of 'Letter to Editor'. The latter will be reviewed by the Editorial team.

  • Double-blind review
  • Revision by the author (if required)
