Oral Diseases

Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal distinguished in oral medicine, with a focus on head and neck disorders. It aims to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship and publishes articles relevant to related medical specialties, including well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. Submitted research must be hypothesis-driven, and both significant positive and negative results are welcomed.
