Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry

Aims & Scope

Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry (JICD) aims to publish quality, peer reviewed original research and topical reviews on all aspects of investigative and clinical dentistry and craniofacial research, including molecular studies related to oral health and disease.

Although international in outlook, the Editor especially encourages papers from the Asia Pacific.

The journal also aims to provide clinicians, scientists and students of dentistry with a knowledge transfer platform for rapid publication of reports through an international journal, which will be available free online until 2012.

Its scope, therefore, is broad, inclusive and international, but with a particular focus on Asia Pacific.

The Editor welcomes manuscripts in the following key thematic areas in oral and maxillofacial sciences: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, Conservative Dentistry, Dental Biomaterials, Dental Pedagogy, Endodontics and Traumatology, Implant Dentistry, Oral Biosciences, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Microbiology, Orthodontics, Oral Radiology, Oral Rehabilitation, Paedodontics, Periodontology and Periodontal Medicine.
