JDOI / Journal Scope
JDOI considers clinically relevant research in dentistry and oral implantology with a clear connection to oral health, dental outcomes, or implant performance.

JDOI advances dentistry and oral implantology by publishing research that improves clinical outcomes, strengthens evidence-based practice and supports innovation in oral health care.
Research is most relevant when it connects scientific advances to practical decision making in implant planning, restorative rehabilitation and patient care.
The journal covers clinical, translational and applied research. Interdisciplinary work is considered when its primary contribution remains anchored in dental science or implantology.
Implantology and peri-implant care
Dental implantology, osseointegration, surgical techniques, implant outcomes, peri-implant health, soft-tissue management and maintenance.
Restorative and rehabilitative dentistry
Prosthodontics, occlusion, restorative rehabilitation, esthetic and functional outcomes, and long-term prosthetic performance.
Biomaterials and regeneration
Biomaterials, surface treatments, implant design evaluation, biomechanics, bone augmentation, grafting and regenerative approaches.
Digital diagnostics and workflows
Digital dentistry, CAD/CAM, guided implant workflows, oral pathology, diagnostics, imaging and clinically relevant AI-assisted interpretation.
Clinical outcomes and patient context
Patient outcomes, quality of life, risk factors, complication management, long-term follow-up and diverse real-world practice settings.
Clinical relevance, methodological rigor and a clear pathway to dental or implant decision making help authors and editors assess fit.
Clinical and translational relevance
Laboratory, biomechanical, preclinical and animal studies are considered when their methods are reproducible and they directly inform clinical practice, device safety, implant stability, tissue response or patient outcomes.
Evidence types considered
- Randomized or pragmatic clinical trials
- Prospective and retrospective cohort studies
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses
- Clinical technique evaluations with outcome reporting
- Biomechanical or material-performance studies
- Case series with clear methodology and follow-up
A scope decision starts with the manuscript's central contribution, rather than a single method, material or clinical setting.
A manuscript is likely to fit when it
- States a clear dental, oral-health or implant relevance.
- Addresses dental outcomes, implant performance or oral health improvement.
- Uses methods and outcome measures appropriate to the research question.
- Explains the clinical, scientific or translational applicability of its findings.
Scope boundary
Studies that are purely clinical pharmacotherapy without a dental or implant contribution, or biological research without oral-health relevance, are outside the journal's scope.
Cross-disciplinary work should make its central dental or implant contribution clear.
