Introduction

The Journal of Investigative Oral and Clinical Dentistry is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal committed to publishing high-quality research and innovative findings in all areas of oral health sciences and clinical dentistry. The journal was established with a vision to serve as a premier platform where dentists, researchers, academicians, and oral healthcare professionals can share their discoveries, exchange knowledge, and advance the understanding of oral diseases and modern dental practices.

In today’s rapidly advancing healthcare landscape, dentistry has evolved beyond conventional clinical care into a dynamic field driven by translational research, advanced diagnostic technologies, biomaterials science, and minimally invasive therapeutic techniques. Oral diseases remain among the most prevalent health conditions worldwide, significantly affecting general health, aesthetics, function, and quality of life. Continuous innovation in preventive strategies, restorative procedures, and regenerative therapies is essential to address these challenges effectively.

The Journal of Investigative Oral and Clinical Dentistry is dedicated to publishing research that bridges laboratory-based discoveries with evidence-based clinical practice. The journal provides a comprehensive platform for clinicians, dental specialists, oral pathologists, researchers, and allied health professionals to disseminate original research, clinical studies, translational investigations, and emerging treatment modalities across all areas of dentistry.

The journal welcomes contributions in areas including clinical dentistry, oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontology, endodontics, prosthodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral pathology, dental biomaterials, implantology, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, oral microbiology, regenerative dentistry, and digital dental technologies. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and scientific excellence, the journal aims to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of oral health sciences and the delivery of high-quality patient-centered dental care worldwide.
