The scientific voice of dentistry

IDJ is FDI's primary scientific publication. Published every two months, the IDJ features peer-reviewed articles relevant to oral health worldwide.

In January 2021, the journal entered a gold open access era with no subscription charges. The articles focus on practice-related research, international public health, and interprofessional education and practice. The journal also publishes concise reviews that synthesize the state of the science on pertinent issues for oral health professionals. In addition to these sections, IDJ editor-in-chief, Prof. Lakshman Samaranayake, has also increased the scope and remit of the journal to incorporate multidisciplinary topics that impact dental practice today such as infectious diseases, artificial intelligence, and teledentistry by adding a new major subsection on “Science and Technology in Dentistry”.
