The publication language of the journal for Romanian, the title and abstract are in English in accordance with the international publication standards. The journal is published 6 times in a year.
Aim
The Romanian Journal of Medical and Dental Education (RJMDE) aims to publish high-quality original research, clinical studies, case reports, and review articles that advance knowledge in all fields of dental medicine and in interdisciplinary areas that connect dentistry with general medicine. The journal supports scientific rigor, academic integrity, and interdisciplinary collaboration, serving as a platform for clinicians, researchers, educators, and students interested in oral health, systemic health, and their complex interrelationship.
Scope
RJMDE accepts submissions from a wide range of areas grouped into three broad thematic domains:
1. Foundations and Clinical Disciplines of Dental Medicine
(denumiri complet diferite, dar echivalente ca arie științifică)
Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Biological and structural principles of oral tissues
• Craniofacial morphology and dental development
• Oral ecosystems and microbial interactions
• Advanced restorative sciences and dental therapeutics
• Diagnostic sciences, radiological technologies, and imaging protocols
• Community oral health and preventive strategies
• Periodontal health and regenerative approaches
• Pulpal biology and root canal therapeutics
• Oral rehabilitation and functional reconstruction
• Implant-supported restorations and biomaterial integration
• Digital workflows and technological innovations in dental care

2. Medical Sciences Relevant to Oral–Systemic Health
This section includes interdisciplinary research linking oral health to systemic physiology and disease:
• Systemic conditions influencing oral status (metabolic, cardiovascular, autoimmune)
• Clinical medicine with implications for dental management
• Pharmacological and therapeutic agents used in oral care
• Infectious diseases and immune responses affecting oral tissues

• Pain biology, sedation protocols, and perioperative management
• Behavioral sciences, psychosocial factors, and patient-centered oral health
• Interprofessional clinical education and integrated care models
• Translational medicine and interdisciplinary clinical research
3. Education, Professional Standards, and Healthcare Systems
Includes submissions related to:
• Pedagogical innovations in dental and medical education
• Ethics, professionalism, and academic integrity
• Development of clinical guidelines and decision-making frameworks
• Public health, health policy, and community-based oral care
• Safety protocols, quality assurance, and risk reduction in clinical practice
• Digital technologies, clinical informatics, and workflow optimization
• Interprofessional training and collaborative healthcare models
THE ROMANIAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION FOR EDUCATION (ADRE)– member of ADEE (European Association for Dental Education), AMR (Association of Physicians from Romania) – has the purpose to create a specialized framework to put together specialists from the dental medicine area and in interdisciplinary areas that connect dentistry with general medicine as well as from the universitary education area, based on their free will, in order to connect the Romanian education system to the European one and to achieve the curricular uniformization – in country and abroad.
The editorial policies and publication process are implemented in accordance with rules set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), Council of Science Editors (CSE), European Association of Science Editors (EASE), Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and the Heart Group.
