Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry gets its first impact factor

A Miletic et al. study among the top 5 cited papers

In the latest list of SCI Journal Impact Factors 2009 published by Thomson Reuters, Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry is listed with the impact factor of 0.797. The Journal thanks all authors, reviewers and readers and allows free access to the top cited articles. Easy online submissions through ScholarOne Manuscripts are encouraged as this speeds up the review process. Hopefully, the Journal will maintain a growing influence in the scientific literature and increase its impact factor in the future.


It was a pleasure to see that one of the papers I did with my colleagues at the University of Belgrade School of Dentistry was among the top 5 cited articles in the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry.

Miletic V, Ivanovic V, Dzeletovic B, Lezaja M.
Temperature Changes in Silorane-, Ormocer-, and Dimethacrylate-Based Composites and Pulp Chamber Roof during Light-Curing.

I look forward to submitting the results of my current studies to the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry.

Recent books on dental materials II

The previous "Recent books" list on this blog is updated with, according to some scholars, the best book in this field.

Now in its ninth edition, Materials Science for Dentistry by Professor Brian W. Darvell (2009, 688 pages) continues its reputation as the most authoritative available reference for students of dentistry. It is also a valuable resource for academics and practitioners in the field.

Fixed Term for 12 months

The main purpose of the post will be to undertake a series of activities that have been identified which will contribute to the creation of a mechanistic understanding of how polymer adhesives interact with ceramic surface defects and confer reinforcement. Innovative steps will be made to optimise ceramic reinforcement ultimately leading to novel solutions to prevent the fracture of dental ceramic restorations in service.

The candidate should have a degree in Materials Science, Engineering or Chemical Engineering and hold a PhD or be near completion of a PhD.
