Peer Review – The Noblest Duty of Every Researcher

Dear readers,
In the very first editorial for the Stomatology Edu Journal, I have stated the importance of the peer review process. It is designed to guarantee that “Nothing is scientifically shown or proven before it has been published in a scientific journal with a peer review system, so one can critically judge what was done, how it was done and evaluate how solid it is.” as Andreas Linde, the editor of the Scandinavian Journal Dental Research has stated […]

By allowing your names to be associated with the Stomatology Edu Journal (Stoma Edu J), you might have thought of the words uttered by Educator, Civil Rights Activist and advisor to United States […]

Summing up Adi Garfunkel’s life

Summing up Adi Garfunkel’s life, I keep coming back to one thought. “Never will you meet a man who loved his students more than Adi”.
I met him when I was in my third year of Dentistry. He was serving as the Dean of the Dental school in Jerusalem. Still, he had time to instruct students and encourage their scientific work. Adi was a teacher of all things. His method was simple. He taught by example. At any age, when faced with a dilemma, I have found myself coming back to one simple question. What would Adi do? […]

Beam profile characterization of a dental light curing unit using a spectrometer-based method
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2018.5(2).art.1 
Light curing has revolutionized the placing of composite restorations [1]. Furthermore, light curing is used for multiple other applications such as cementing dental fixed prostheses, including indirect restorations made from ceramics or composites, sealing fissures, and bonding orthodontic brackets. Nowadays, market available light curing units (LCUs) are very well build and really intuitive which make dentists assume that light curing is a simple procedure, however it is not […]
