EurAsian Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

EurAsian Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (EJOMS) aims to reach a national and international audience with article submissions from authors worldwide. It gives high priority to original studies of interest to clinicians and scientists in oral and maxillofacial surgery and related disciplines. 

Topics of current interest to clinical, experimental, and basic scientists will be published in critical subjects, such as anesthesia, craniofacial deformity, dentoalveolar and implant surgery, oral medicine, pathology, bioengineering, trauma, and TMJ. With this journal, we primarily target to effectively bridge the gap between basic science and clinical application as well. Access to the Journal is available to all interested colleagues with no subscription fees, with the aim of gathering all interested national and international surgeons.

This journal, which is planned to be published four times a year, accepts both English and Turkish studies.
