About the journal
Provides the worldwide dental community with current, scientifically sound information on patient care, research, and education in prosthodontics and interrelated disciplines. Known among international researchers, academics, and clinicians for its thorough and extensive review procedures, this journal continues to process articles as quickly as possible in keeping with its goal to present "news–not history." Scientific research articles remain the core, but the journal now opens its pages to more clinical reports and literature reviews
