Pediatric Dentistry & Oral Medicine
A section of Children (ISSN 2227-9067).
Section Information
The Section Pediatric Dentistry & Oral Medicine accepts articles related to the diagnosis and treatment of child and adolescent disorders of the stomatognathic system (oral cavity, teeth and dental arches, bones, temporomandibular joint, muscles, etc.). Articles may focus on diagnosis, therapy, supportive care, long-term outcome, epidemiology and disease prevention, and the economic impact of these diseases. The journal will also publish anatomical and anthropometrical descriptions of the related structures, and of their age-, gender-, and ethnicity-associated modifications. Original articles, observational studies (cohort studies, case-control studies), clinical trials, and systematic reviews/ meta-analyses are welcome; case reports will only be considered if they are methodologically rigorous and provide novel findings with important clinical implications.
