Universitas Odontologica is an open access scientific peer-reviewed journal published by the Pontifical Xavierian University’s Dental School from Bogota, Colombia. The journal publishes high-quality original dental research produced in and about Latin America. Sections of Universitas Odontologica cover different practice scopes: health care management and professional practice issues; bioethics; basic sciences, biotechnology, and bioinformatics; scientometrics, literature analysis, and scientific writing; dental education; dental materials and laboratory; clinical practice; buccal public health and epidemiology; and specific current topics through thematic dossiers. It is published on a rolling-volume basis, not by issues. We accept manuscripts in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, but all articles are translated and published only in English.
