Anniversary Time in a Rapidly Evolving and Complex Landscape

Abstract

Every day physicians fight against diseases for the universal desire for a better, disease-free life. Potent weapons to achieve this include the constant attainment of knowledge and skills. A strategic plan and a prerequisite to reaching this goal is the existence of a community of dedicated medical scientists who can study, work, think, communicate and write. In this environment, the Journal of Diagnostics and Treatment of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (which is also called DT Journal because of the domain name www.dtjournal.org) was born to provide a medium for this communication to catalyze new ideas and incidentally also to assure a permanent repository of scientific information. Today, DT Journal is proud to celebrate an important milestone: the Fifth Anniversary. A journal that was created to unify the world of oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) and share oral and maxillofacial surgical knowledge as broadly as possible, without any borders or barriers. A journal committed to advancing scientific knowledge about OMFS across the globe while also addressing the most pressing issues facing oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the 21st century.
