Operative Dentistry is a refereed, international journal published bi-monthly and distributed to subscribers in over 50 countries. We print articles in the categories of Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Literature Reviews, Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations and Invited Papers, as well as Editorials, Abstracts and Book Reviews. One of the strong points of our journal is that our current publication time for accepted manuscripts is one year or less from the date of submission. Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations have a very quick turn around time, which allows for very rapid publication of clinical based concepts. We also provide color for those papers that would benefit from its use.
