Dentistry is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth, jaws, periodontium, and associated oral and craniofacial structures. It integrates restorative, surgical, prosthetic, and regenerative disciplines, with implant dentistry and oral and maxillofacial reconstruction forming a central focus where tooth loss, alveolar atrophy, and bone deficiency must be addressed before functional rehabilitation. Contemporary practice relies on osseointegrated dental implants and on bone-augmentation procedures such as maxillary sinus elevation using lateral-window and other techniques, supported by alloplastic and bioactive graft materials including hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, calcium phosphosilicate, and recombinant growth factors with titanium mesh for severely atrophic ridges. Tissue-preservation strategies such as the socket shield technique aim to maintain the buccal bone plate during immediate implant placement, while diagnostic imaging including cone-beam computed tomography and orthopantomography guides surgical planning. Restorative and esthetic dentistry encompasses ceramic laminate veneers, composite resin materials, occlusal analysis, and the optimization of photopolymerization, alongside emerging interest in implant-surface modification using microRNAs. Oral health is further linked to systemic and quality-of-life outcomes. The journal publishes peer-reviewed clinical, surgical, materials-science, and translational research across implantology, bone grafting, restorative procedures, and oral health.
