Operative Dentistry

Aims & Scope

Operative Dentistry is a refereed, international journal published bi-monthly and distributed to subscribers in over 50 countries.

In 2012, we printed 84 articles (672 pages).

Papers were submitted by authors from 45 countries, in the categories of Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations and Invited Papers, as well as Editorials and Abstracts.

One of the strong points of our journal is that our current publication time for accepted manuscripts is 4 to 6 months from the date of submission.

Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations have a very quick turnaround time, which allows for very rapid publication of clinical based concepts.

We also provide color for those papers that would benefit from its use.

The journal does not accept any advertising but you will find postings for faculty positions.

Additionally, the journal also does not rent, sell or otherwise allow its subscriber list to be used by any other entity
