ORIGINAL ARTICLES:
• Clinical and experimental research can be published.
• It should include Turkish and English abstract sections. Turkish abstract should be written as 'Abstract' and 'Abstract' should be used for English abstract. The abstract should be between 200-250 words. The abstract should be structured to include 'Aim, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusion and Keywords' sections. The number of keywords should be between 3-5. Medical Subject Headings (MESH; www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/MBrowser.html) and Turkish Scientific Terms (TBT; http://www.bilimterimleri.com) should be taken as basis for keyword selection. TBT is a keyword index containing the Turkish equivalents of MeSH terms. Keywords should be written in alphabetical order.
• For the English abstract, the titles 'Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion, Keywords' should be used.
• A research article written in Turkish should consist of the main headings 'Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement (if any), References'.
• For the research article written in English, these sections should be named as 'Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement, References'.

PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
The articles submitted to the journal for publication must comply with the following stylistic principles:
•The article should be written in 12 pt., Times New Roman font on PC or MAC compatible computers with Microsoft Word program.
• The text should be written with 1.5 line spacing and 2.5 cm margins should be left on both sides
• Italic characters should be used when writing Latin terms and species names (e.g. in vitro, in vivo, Porphyromonas gingivalis).
• The text of the article should be justified.
• Abbreviations in the text are given in brackets at the first occurrence of the word and the abbreviation is used in the rest of the text.
• When writing ordinal numbers, a period should be used as a sign and a space should be left between the unit and the number (e.g. 37.4 mm, 57.8 °C). When writing percentage values, a space should be left between the number and the percentage sign (e.g. 5.9%).
• The research article should include title page, abstract page, introduction, materials and methods, findings, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgements (if any), references, figure/picture captions, tables and figures/pictures sections.
• Case reports should be organised according to the same headings, except that the title 'case report' should be written instead of 'Materials and methods' and 'Results', followed by discussion, conclusion and other sections.
• Review articles should include standard headings such as title page, abstract page, references, but may also include headings to be added by the author in accordance with the subject.
• The letter to the editor consists of the text and references sections created by the author.

3. Contact information of the author (postal address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address)
4. Type of article (original research article, Case Report, etc.)
5. Number of words, figures/pictures and tables in the summaries,
6. Acknowledgements. If it has been presented elsewhere before, it should be stated here.
7. Any conflict of interest/relationship should be indicated.

2) Abstract Page: It should be prepared as specified in the article types section and placed in the article file.

3) Introduction: The rationale and importance of the study should be explained with current and directly relevant sources. In the last paragraph of this section, the purpose of the study should be clearly written.

4) Materials and Methods: The materials and methods/methods used in the research should be described in detail. The origin of the materials and equipment used in this context should be defined in parentheses (brand, manufacturer, city and country). In observational or experimental studies, human and animal experimental criteria should be specified and ethical issues should be mentioned in this section and it should be stated that informed consent has been obtained. In the last part of this section, the statistical analysis method and computer program used should be specified.

5) Results: In this section, the findings obtained from the research should be given without personal comments.

6) Discussion: The limitations of the study are mentioned, the findings obtained are compared with the literature, similarities and differences are stated and interpreted uniquely. The importance of the study is emphasised, how the findings will affect future studies and clinical practice is discussed and suggestions are made for new studies.

7) Conclusion: In this section, the conclusions reached by the research should be given in items

8) Acknowledgements: This section should be on the title page. Available sources of support, if any, and links with commercial organisations should be explained. People who contributed to the research other than the authors can be written in this section.

9) References
References Style
References are indicated according to the Vancouver system. Accordingly, references are numbered with Arabic numerals as a superscript according to the order of occurrence in the text and are listed accordingly in the references section.
