Aims and Scope

Acta Odontologica Scandinavica aims to disseminate new knowledge across all areas of oral health, oral disease, and biomaterials science. The journal publishes Open Access original research articles and critical state-of-the-art reviews relevant to:

  • Diagnosis
  • Epidemiology
  • Health services research
  • Prevention
  • Etiology
  • Pathogenesis
  • Pathology
  • Physiology
  • Microbiology
