Dentistry Review is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated primarily to clinically relevant evidence syntheses in dentistry. The journal prioritizes systematic reviews and meta-analyses addressing important questions in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, prognosis, and patient-reported or clinical outcomes across all dental specialties.Submissions should demonstrate clear relevance to dental practice, patient management, or oral-health policy. The journal particularly welcomes reviews that provide clinically applicable conclusions and assess the certainty and limitations of the available evidence. Narrative reviews, scoping reviews, umbrella reviews, and laboratory or preclinical reviews are generally outside the journal’s primary scope unless specifically commissioned or demonstrably linked to clinical decision-making.
