Universitas Odontologica is an open access scientific peer-reviewed journal that publishes original high-quality dental research originated in and about Ibero-Latin America. Sections of Universitas Odontologica cover different scopes of the dental profession: 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; oral public health and epidemiology; and current topics through thematic dossiers. It is published on a rolling-volume basis, not by issue. We accept manuscripts in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, but all articles are translated and published only in English including abstracts in those three languages.
