Dear readers , As a member of the editorial board of our Journal , we have been trying , together with the other two Editors-in-Chief , Professor Jean-François Roulet ( University of Florida ) and Professor Rolf Ewers ( Medical University of Vienna ), to promote the Stomatology Edu Journal as much and as well as possible within the international academic community via all communication channels . There has been no scientific event which I attended without my introducing our Journal and also asking for original manuscripts to be published by our young Journal . If we analyze the calendar of editorial events of this year which is coming to an end , there are significant events that I am very pleased to share with you . Due to the spirit of openness to make full use of dissemination of scientific information that promotes high quality research , and the extraordinary generosity of Professor Michael Glick , Editor of the American Dental Association Journal , JADA , Mr .

This DOI identification is assigned to all published articles starting with the first issue . It was by using the DOI identifier that Professor David C .
