The cost of publishing in today’s scientific e-world

Dear authors,
According to Stephen Buranyi, scientific writer with the Guardian, scientific publishing is a vast business, with revenues varying between the music recording and film industries, but far more profitable.  herefore, it is not difficult to understand why the scientific publishing business is so profitable. After all, researchers need publications to advance in their career. The majority of scientific journals offer article submissions using online manuscript manager platforms, which resulted in a transition from editorial staff to contributing authors to complete the submission process and to comply with a whole series of journal guidelines […]

Effectiveness of school-based fluoride mouth rinsing program in schoolchildren from Kandy District, Sri Lanka
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.1
Dental caries is still epidemic and a significant public health problem in developing countries. No research on a fluoride mouth rinsing program has been conducted in Sri Lanka yet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a supervised school-based 0.2% sodium fluoride mouth rinsing program among 6 year-old Sri Lanka school children […]

• PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY

Arrest of early carious lesions after professional application of different fluoride agents
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.2
The conventional treatment of caries lesions has historically focused on the mechanical treatment of the lesion. Such an approach [17] disregards the ecological imbalances in the oral cavity, involves restorations that require replacement and which become larger with time, and can result in tooth loss. Successive investigations have reported findings that support a paradigm shift in the treatment of caries […]

Volume, asymmetry and reciprocal relationships between paranasal sinuses: a 3D segmentation study on head CT-scans
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.3
The paranasal sinuses are air-filled anatomical structures inside the skull and facial bones forming a complex interconnected system communicating with the nasal cavities through an ostium [1,2]. There are four paired paranasal sinuses: the maxillary, frontal and sphenoid sinuses, and the ethmoid cells […]

Analysis of stress generated in the enamel of an upper first premolar: a finite element study
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.4
Non-carious cervical lesions involve the loss of hard dental tissues in the cervical areas of the teeth, without carious activity [1,2]. These lesions are important because, in a first stage, they can produce gingival retractions associated with teeth sensitivity [3], and in an advanced stage […]

• ORAL IMPLANTOLOGY

Immediate/early radiological findings following transcrestal sinus augmentation using a minimally invasive implant device
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.5
Augmentation of the maxillary sinus floor followed by simultaneous or delayed placement of dental implants is a well-established technique for implant-supported rehabilitation of the partially or completely edentulous patient [1-15]. Few studies documented a patient’s perception of recovery after sinus-floor augmentation [16]. The average patient should expect recovery within 5 days […]

Unclarities about articaine: efficacy and the risk of paresthesia
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.6
Articaine is an amide dental local anesthetic, synthesized in 1969 in Germany. It was specifically developed for dental use and got its approval for clinical use in countries all over the world in the years to follow. It became increasingly popular and is now the second most used local anesthetic in dentistry. Annually, approximately 600,000,000 cartridges are manufactured […]

Stability of skeletal class III malocclusion after orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25241/stomaeduj.2020.7(1).art.7
Moderate to severe skeletal class III patients often require a combined orthodontic and surgical approach for treatment. It has been reported that skeletal class III malocclusion is the most frequent deformity corrected by combined orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment […]
