Dentistry Oral Surgery and Medicine (DOM)

Section Information

Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disorders affecting the teeth, oral cavity, jaws, and craniofacial structures. It integrates clinical dentistry, oral pathology, surgical techniques, biomaterials, and systemic considerations to support oral and overall health.

Modern dental research encompasses advancements in restorative dentistry, implantology, oral surgery, imaging techniques, pain management, regenerative therapies, and digital technologies. These developments improve diagnostic accuracy, treatment outcomes, functional restoration, and patient care in dental and oral medicine.

This section publishes research articles, clinical studies, case reports, and reviews addressing oral diseases, dental materials, surgical interventions, oral pathology, public oral health, and innovative techniques shaping the future of dentistry and oral medicine.
