Scope & Guideline
Discovering Innovations in Evidence-Based Dentistry.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Evidence-Based Dentistry:
The journal emphasizes research that supports evidence-based practices in dentistry, synthesizing findings from systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical studies to inform best practices. - Clinical Outcomes and Effectiveness:
A core focus is on evaluating clinical outcomes of various dental interventions, including surgical techniques, restorative procedures, and preventive measures to enhance patient care. - Patient-Centered Research:
Research that highlights patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient-centered care approaches is prioritized, allowing for a deeper understanding of the impact of dental treatments on quality of life. - Technological Advancements:
The journal explores the integration of new technologies in dental practice, including digital dentistry, artificial intelligence, and innovative treatment modalities. - Public Health and Epidemiology:
Focus on studies that assess oral health trends, disease prevalence, and the effectiveness of public health initiatives aimed at improving population oral health.
Trending and Emerging
- Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry:
There is a growing focus on the application of artificial intelligence to improve diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient outcomes, signaling a trend towards integrating technology in clinical practice. - Minimally Invasive Techniques:
An increase in studies promoting minimally invasive dental procedures reflects a broader trend towards preserving tooth structure and enhancing patient comfort. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
Research that integrates dental care with other health disciplines, such as psychology and general medicine, is on the rise, indicating a holistic approach to patient care. - Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Oral Health:
Emerging studies are examining the links between lifestyle factors (e.g., diet, smoking, and stress) and their effects on oral health, emphasizing the importance of preventive care. - Tele-dentistry and Remote Consultations:
The incorporation of tele-dentistry and remote consultation methods has gained attention, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for flexible patient care solutions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Restorative Techniques:
Research on older restorative techniques appears to be diminishing as newer materials and methods gain traction, indicating a shift towards more innovative approaches. - Non-Evidence-Based Practices:
There is a noticeable decline in studies advocating for practices lacking robust evidence, as the journal increasingly prioritizes scientifically validated methods. - Basic Oral Health Education:
Papers focusing solely on basic oral health education without an evidence-based framework are becoming less common, as the journal seeks to elevate discussions around evidence-supported interventions. - Single-Center Studies:
The prevalence of single-center studies is declining in favor of multicentric trials and systematic reviews, which provide more comprehensive and generalizable findings. - Historical Perspectives:
Research focused on historical perspectives of dental practices has seen reduced publication frequency, as the journal shifts toward contemporary issues and innovations in dental care.
