Appreciated suscriptors from Universitas Odontologica,

With much enthusiasm we want to share with you the publication of our the journal's issue 53 of 2003. We continue to incorporate previous issues of our collection that were published before in printed-only format. We want to highlight the work of our contributors since the creation of Universitas Odontologica in 1982, increase our visibility, and enhance the possibility of receiving citations.

As an additional note, this year we are publishing our 40th volume of the journal and we are celebrating 40 years of activities.

Thank you for your constant support, 

Jorge Enrique Delgado, General Editor
