So, there is still time to receive your original articles for our ten usual sections by scope of application and the calls for dossiers that we still have open in 2022. Please inquire in our announcements section (https://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revUnivOdontologica/index), help us to communicate this to all your networks, and feel free to send us your manuscripts.

We receive original studies with different methodological designs of dental research from and about Ibero-America.

Thank you and best regards, Jorge E. Delgado, Editor-in-chief

Universitas Odontologica invites the academic, scientific, and professional community to submit original manuscripts for the thematic dossier Advances in Pharmacology and Dentistry, which will be published in the volume 41 of 2022.

Pharmacology is the discipline that studies the types, composition, properties, action and therapeutic uses of medicines or drugs. In dentistry, pharmacology is essential to treat conditions such as pain, infections, and other diseases that impact overall systemic health. Likewise, pharmacology in dentistry is related to the effects of systemic treatments on people's oral health. In recent decades, with biotechnological development, pharmacology has experienced important advances. The Advances in Pharmacology and Dentistry dossier invites dental researchers to submit original basic laboratory research (for example, microbiology, cytotoxicity, and molecular biology), clinical trials, cohort (longitudinal) studies, case-control studies, systematic reviews of the literature and cases supported by systematic reviews. The manuscripts should be able to answer questions such as: What are the pharmacological interactions that can occur between medicines used in dentistry? What is the best analgesic to treat pain after oral surgery? What are the risks of the new drugs available on the market? What is the effectiveness of new means of suturing wounds in oral surgery? What is the cytotoxicity of the most recently used anti-inflammatories in dentistry? What are the long-term effects of the use of medications in dentistry? Is there evidence on the generation of resistance of microorganisms to the use of antibiotics? How can the prescription of medications in dentistry affect patients with systemic compromise?

Key Dates

• Release of the call for manuscripts: 3 May 2022
• Deadline for manuscript submission: 31 August 2022
• Article evaluation and revisions: 31 August to 15 September 2022
• Pre-publication with DOI assigned: 15 November 2022

Universitas Odontologica invites the academic, scientific, and professional community to submit original manuscripts for the thematic dossier Aging and Dentistry, which will be published in the volume 41 of 2022.

Human aging has become an increasingly important issue globally due to the growth of people’s life expectancy, the challenges it entails within communities and societies, the perception, and roles of the elderly in societal groups, the development of care and support systems, research on clinical practice, biomaterials and mainly restorative techniques, and the advancement of applied basic research to understand and intervene in the biological processes of ageing. As a phenomenon of demographic transition on a global scale, aging produces biological, physical, and emotional changes in people, transforms social structures and poses challenges in sectors such as health, social security, and the entire economy. In many health systems it is established that the dentist must be able to intervene on those alterations to restore functionality and improve the quality of life of the elderly. In this sense, Geriatric Dentistry or Gerodontology should also be part of multidisciplinary teams dedicated to the care of the elderly in community, hospitalization, institutionalized, palliative, and home services. On the other hand, in Gerosciences, that is, those disciplines that seek to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate aging, the concept of personalized aging is seen more as a biological than chronological phenomenon. From this perspective, aging could also affect populations that are chronologically young, but biologically aged and that are susceptible to developing chronic inflammatory conditions such as cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, periodontal disease, and edentulism.

Universitas Odontologica invites the academic, scientific, and professional community to submit original manuscripts for the thematic dossier What is Considered Valid Knowledge in Dentistry, which will be published in the volume 41 of 2022.

This dossier does NOT seek to describe existing research methods, but rather to identify the standards, protocols, and notions of validity that currently support research in the different clinical specialties / subspecialties, biotechnological research, work with communities and public policies, scientometric analyses, bioinformatics, and all those fields that make up professional work and research in dentistry. It also involves states of the art, in terms of the types of questions and the ways of answering them today (research about research).

• Deadline for manuscript submission: 15 August 2022
