Periodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gingiva, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament. Common conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis not only compromise oral health but have also been linked to systemic illnesses like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Periodontal therapy ranges from non-surgical interventions like scaling and root planing to advanced surgical procedures including regenerative surgeries and implant placement.

The Journal of Dentistry: Oral Health & Cosmesis invites scholarly contributions that explore advancements in periodontal diagnostics, biomarker discoveries, and innovative regenerative therapies. Research addressing the molecular mechanisms behind periodontal disease, novel treatment strategies involving growth factors and stem cells, and interdisciplinary approaches connecting periodontics with systemic health is highly valued. Contributions focusing on long-term maintenance strategies and patient-centered periodontal care models are also welcomed.
