The Saudi Dental Journal is dedicated to the continuing professional development of dentistry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arab countries. Founded in 1989, the Journal is the official publication of the Saudi Dental Society.

The primary objectives of the Journal are multifarious: to advance the science and art of dentistry, to encourage scientific research, and to improve and enhance the general standard of dentistry in the Kingdom and the Arab world. Furthermore, the Journal serves as the major information source of dental health care in the Kingdom and the Region. The dental community is, therefore, provided with an educational tool which monitors and reports the latest developments in dental science and its application to preventive dentistry, clinical dentistry, dental care management, and dental research.

The Journal publishes original scientific papers with special emphasis on accomplished research in and on Saudi Arabia, as well as unusual case reports, editorial and review articles, book reviews and other relevant information which assist the Journal in achieving its objectives in the context of high professional standards. The Saudi Dental Journal is published three times a year by the Saudi Dental Society.
