Journal Descriptions

The British Dental Journal (BDJ) is one of the oldest and most respected dental publications in the world. It was first published in 1903 (though its roots go back to earlier dental association publications), and over more than a century has become a leading peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of dental science and practice. The journal is published twice a month (24 issues per year), providing dentists, dental researchers, clinicians and students with timely and high-quality articles on clinical practice, scientific advances, policy, education, case reports, reviews, letters and commentary relevant to contemporary dentistry. The BDJ aims to inform its readers on developments across general and specialist dentistry — from preventive and restorative techniques to oral surgery, public health, dental materials and interdisciplinary research that links oral health with systemic well-being. It is indexed in major scientific databases and is widely read internationally, being the flagship journal of the British Dental Association (BDA) and published by Springer Nature on behalf of the BDA. Its hybrid publishing model reflects both traditional subscription content and open access options for authors seeking broader visibility. The journal plays a central role in continuing professional development (CPD) for dental professionals and serves as a forum for debate, evidence-based practice and the exchange of ideas among clinicians globally.
