Clinical practice is the application of scientific knowledge, technical skill, and professional judgement to the examination, diagnosis, and treatment of patients, governed by evidence, ethics, safety, and standards of quality and infection control. In dentistry and oral implantology it spans patient assessment, treatment planning, the performance of restorative, surgical, and prosthetic procedures, and the integration of new techniques and technologies into routine care, alongside the broader competencies of communication, professionalism, and adherence to best practice. Effective clinical practice depends on translating research into reliable, reproducible care, on continuing education, and on the systems that support safe and consistent delivery. The research collected here reflects facets of clinical practice across disciplines, including immediate-implant techniques in dentistry, the epistemology of medical decision-making, antimicrobial stewardship and prescribing behaviour, hand hygiene among healthcare workers, the safe use of radiographic contrast agents, adjunctive periodontal therapy, and immunoassay and immunomonitoring approaches. Together they touch on diagnosis, procedural technique, infection control, prescribing, and the knowledge base underpinning care. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research relevant to Dentistry And Oral Implants, including the methods, techniques, and quality considerations that inform sound clinical practice.
