Journal of Dentistry and Multidisciplinary Sciences is an international open-access journal dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed, high-quality, original papers on novel research, emerging technologies, interdisciplinary collaborations, and clinical applications in dental medicine.  

The Journal’s motto is:
“Odontologia et Scientia”

 It did not adventitiously arise from the Greek "odontologia" (ὀδούς, tooth + λόγος, study) and the Latin "scientia" (knowledge or science), signifying a dedication to the in-depth analysis of dental science and its integration with broader scientific knowledge. The title reflects the journal's mission to unify traditional dental disciplines with innovations across clinical, laboratory, and technological domains. The journal is open to all specialists in the healthcare and biomedical sectors and treats, in its different sections, patients with affection in each district. An interdisciplinary and multispecialty approach is essential to guarantee the correct therapies for our patients without neglecting the side effects of some of them. All articles of an in-novative nature, with findings in the dental field, will be considered; novelty and innovativeness are the basis of this scientific journal.
