《牙科科學(xué)雜志》(JDS)為中華民國牙科科學(xué)學(xué)會(ADS-ROC)的官方刊物，每季出版一期。JDS的前身是中國牙科雜志(CDJ)，早在1988年就被MEDLINE收錄。當(dāng)CDJ繼續(xù)證明其在該地區(qū)的重要性時，ADS-ROC決定出版一本英文期刊，以走向國際社會。因此，JDS于2006年誕生。JDS被收錄在2008年以后擴(kuò)大的SCI中。它還在Scopus、EMCare、ScienceDirect和SIIC數(shù)據(jù)庫中建立了索引。JDS涵蓋的主題包括基礎(chǔ)和臨床牙科的所有領(lǐng)域。也考慮出版一些研究某些地方病的手稿，例如在任何國家特定地區(qū)的齲齒和牙周病，以及與嚼檳榔習(xí)慣有關(guān)的口腔癌前期、口腔癌和口腔粘膜下纖維化。此外，JDS還發(fā)表了關(guān)于一種新的治療方式對口腔疣狀增生或早期口腔鱗狀細(xì)胞癌的療效的文章。此外，我們還發(fā)表了評價新生物材料、新藥物和新方法在治療各種口腔頜面部疾病或缺損患者中的應(yīng)用、新方法診斷口腔頜面部疾病等方面的科研成果。此外,研究生活質(zhì)量、心理干預(yù),提高疾病的治療結(jié)果,預(yù)防,診斷和管理的癌癥治療并發(fā)癥,康復(fù),緩和和結(jié)束的生活護(hù)理,癌癥護(hù)理和口腔衛(wèi)生保健和支持團(tuán)隊合作也歡迎老患者,由于年長患者顯著增加60歲以上在亞洲的東北部地區(qū)。簡而言之，JDS出版的科學(xué)牙科文章，為所有讀者帶來新的知識，新的觀察，新的技術(shù)，新的診斷和治療模式，以及新的臨床試驗。JDS的目標(biāo)受眾包括研究人員、牙科從業(yè)者或臨床醫(yī)生、口腔和牙科政策制定者、牙科教育工作者、硬組織科學(xué)家、牙科學(xué)生和其他健康專業(yè)人士。JDS接受觀點、評論文章、原創(chuàng)文章、案例報告、簡短的交流、研究信函、通信和給編輯的信函。
