The Journal of Clinical Advances in Dentistry (JCAD) aims to be a premier platform for advancing the science and practice of dental medicine. Its scope covers the full spectrum of clinical, experimental, translational, and community-based research in dentistry and oral health sciences. Our goal is to promote evidence-based knowledge that bridges research and practice, improves patient outcomes, and informs global oral healthcare policy.

Aims

The journal’s aims are centered on four core pillars: knowledge dissemination, clinical translation, global inclusivity, and ethical publishing.

• Knowledge Dissemination: To provide free and unrestricted access to cutting-edge research and reviews across dental specialties.
• Clinical Translation: To ensure that scientific advances inform real-world dental practice, with direct benefits to patient care.
• Global Inclusivity: To amplify voices from diverse regions and promote equitable research dissemination.
• Ethical Publishing: To uphold the highest standards of transparency, fairness, and integrity in scholarly communication.

Scope of the Journal

JCAD embraces a wide-ranging scope to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of modern dentistry. We welcome contributions in the following areas:

Preventive and Community Dentistry

Research that emphasizes preventive care, oral health promotion, epidemiology, community-based interventions, and strategies to reduce health disparities in oral healthcare.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Clinical and translational studies on surgical innovations, craniofacial reconstruction, trauma management, implantology, and post-operative care protocols.

Periodontology and Implant Dentistry

Studies addressing periodontal disease mechanisms, treatment modalities, regenerative procedures, and long-term implant success rates.

Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics

Investigations into biomechanics, growth and development, craniofacial anomalies, innovative appliances, and treatment planning for functional and aesthetic correction.

Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry

Work on pulp biology, root canal therapies, restorative materials, and techniques designed to preserve and restore natural dentition.

Prosthodontics and Biomaterials

Research on prosthetic devices, digital dentistry, CAD/CAM, 3D printing applications, and advanced biomaterials for oral rehabilitation.

Pediatric Dentistry

Articles focusing on child oral health, growth-related dental problems, preventive interventions, and behavioral approaches in pediatric care.

Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine, and Microbiology

Case reports, reviews, and studies on diagnostic techniques, microbial profiles, oral lesions, precancerous conditions, and systemic correlations of oral health.

Emerging Technologies

Interdisciplinary work on AI applications in dentistry, digital radiology, robotics, nanotechnology, and personalized treatment models.

Types of Articles Published

The journal publishes a diverse range of article types, including but not limited to:

• Original Research Articles
• Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
• Case Reports and Clinical Case Series
• Short Communications
• Technical Notes and Methodological Papers
• Editorials, Commentaries, and Opinion Pieces
• Educational Resources and Innovations

Global Perspective

Dentistry is a global discipline, and JCAD is committed to representing diverse perspectives. We welcome submissions from developed and developing nations alike, encouraging research that addresses local oral health challenges while contributing to global understanding.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Oral health is deeply connected to systemic health, biomedical engineering, psychology, and public health. The journal encourages collaborative submissions that highlight these intersections and contribute to holistic patient care.

Ethics and Integrity

All submitted manuscripts must adhere to international ethical standards, including informed consent, ethical approval for human/animal studies, and transparency in funding and conflict of interest declarations. The journal is committed to following COPE and ICMJE guidelines.

Future Expansion of Scope

In addition to traditional fields, the journal is expanding into areas such as digital dentistry, tele-dentistry, regenerative medicine, and sustainability in dental practice. This ensures that the journal remains aligned with evolving global trends.
