The Journal of the Stomatological Society (JSS) is published triannually, in April, July, and November, under the supervision of the JSS Editorial Committee. This committee is responsible for the selection of all materials submitted for publication.
The JSS originated as the official journal of the Stomatological Society and has evolved into a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to disseminating research findings across all disciplines relevant to dentistry, the oral cavity, and associated structures in both health and disease. The journal encompasses all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish subjective and objective harmonious oral aesthetics and functions.
