As part of its ongoing development, the journal rigorously adapts to the requirements of indexing databases and continuously updates its editorial practices. This includes incorporating new technological trends, adopting innovative digital formats, and implementing strict ethical standards, such as the use of plagiarism detection software.

Dedicated to disseminating knowledge in oral sciences, the journal publishes original research articles, brief communications, systematic reviews, study protocols, case reports, commentaries, and perspectives. Its scope encompasses disciplines such as surgery, oral medicine and rehabilitation, craniofacial surgery, dentistry, orofacial pain, speech and swallowing, pathology, biomaterials, public health, and dental education, among other related areas.
