About the journal
The aims and scope of Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine are to analyze the ever-expanding knowledge inthe field in the form of authoritative review articles that are of interest to a broad base of scientists engaged in dental research. The journal also serves as a valuable resource for teachers in this field at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The review articles are devoted to in-depth analyses of concepts, biological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular levels, pathogenesis of diseases, techniques, and new developments in the field.
Instructions to Authors
Correspondence. Address all manuscripts and related correspondence to Dr. Olav Alvares, Editor, Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center, 7703 Floyd Curl Drive, San Antonio, TX 78284, USA. Inquiries may be FAXed to 210-567-6858.
General Policy. Critical Reviews seeks to publish authoritative review articles that are of wide interest to a broad base of scientists engaged in dental research. Submitted manuscripts must be written in English and must not be in consideration for publication elsewhere. All authors must sign the cover letter indicating their approval of the complete content. The receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged. The authors will be notified subsequently by the Editor of (1) acceptance, (2) need for revisions, or (3) rejection. Photographic reproductions and original drawings will be returned to authors unless the manuscript is accepted. Manuscripts will be returned only if requested. All rights in manuscripts shall be transferred to Critical Reviews upon submission. Submission of a manuscript shall constitute each author’s agreement that Critical Reviews holds all proprietary rights in the manuscript submitted, including all copyrights. On acceptance and before publication of a paper, authors will be asked to sign a formal transfer of copyright.
Manuscripts. Submit three complete copies of each manuscript and Figures. Prepare manuscript, Tables, legends, and footnotes as double-spaced text (a minimum of 6 mm between lines) on 8 1/2 x 11-inch bond paper. Top, bottom, and side margins should be one inch, with no indented paragraphs. When possible, print the text with a laser printer. Figures and Tables should not exceed 8 1/2 x 11 inches. An additional copy of typescript should be provided on computer diskette. (Authors without access to computers may continue to submit typewritten manuscripts.) Both Macintosh (Framemaker, MacWrite, Word, Wordperfect, Works WP, or WriteNow) and IBM PC (DCA-RFT, Framemaker, MultiMate, Office Writer, Text, Word for Windows, WordPerfect, WordStar, Works WP, or XYWrite) diskettes will be accepted. Manuscripts should be “clean? free of tabs and codes. Bold and italic type should appear exactly as they will appear on the printed page. Italicize items that will appear in italics; this will include the genus and species of an organism, g (for gravitational force), Latin words and abbreviations (for example, e.g., i.e., in vitro, in vivo, et al.), and journal names in the References section. Tabs should be used to separate columns within tables. Please type no more than 10 characters per inch. Authors are reminded to include their complete mailing addresses, telephone, FAX, and e-mail addresses, as available. Copies of “in press?and “submitted?manuscripts that will provide essential information for the referees should also be enclosed. Before submission, authors are encouraged to review their manuscripts with (i) computer grammar and spelling check software and (ii) a colleague who is expert in English language grammar and syntax. Manuscripts may be returned without review or rejected on the basis of poor English or accepted standards of style. Check to ensure that all listed references, Figures, and Tables are cited in the text and that all cited references, Figures, and Tables are presented in appropriate sections. The Editor reserves the right to make changes to improve the clarity of the text. All such changes will be subject to authors?approval before publication.
Revised Manuscripts. As above, submit three copies of the revised manuscript, related materials, and a copy of the text on computer disk. All revisions must be accompanied by a cover letter to the Editor signed by all authors. The letter must (i) detail on a point-by-point basis the authors?disposition of each of the referees?comments and (ii) certify that all authors approve of the revised content.
Manuscript Components. The components of a manuscript should be: title page, abstract, introduction, body of text, acknowledgments, references, tables, and figure legends. Number all pages consecutively in the top right hand corner, including the title page. Label Figures clearly on the back with authors?abbreviated names and number corresponding to the citation in the text. Indicate the top of the Figure, if not obvious.
Title page (page 1). Type in bold type with only the first letters of the main words capitalized. Similarly, type the authors?initials and last names in upper- and lower-case letters. Use superscript numbers to relate authors to different departments or institutions, or to indicate a change in address. For the corresponding author who will receive reprint requests, provide the full postal (including ZIP or Postal Code) and e-mail addresses, telephone and FAX numbers, as available. If not the first author, indicate by a number superscript, and use the phrase “To whom correspondence and reprint requests should be addressed? A short title (running head) of up to 45 characters and from three to five key words are required. If applicable, include source footnotes on page 1 to indicate prior preliminary publication. For example, state that the work was “Based on a thesis submitted to the graduate faculty, Azimuth University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD degree?or that a preliminary report was presented at, or published in.... Report all sources of funding in the Acknowledgments section.
Abstract (page 2). A self-standing summary of the text, this section should not exceed one typed page (about 250 words). Avoid abbreviations. The abstract will be re-published separately by information retrieval services.
Acknowledgments. Recognize individuals who provided assistance to the project. Acknowledge all sources of funding for the project or study.
References. The References section will list all sources cited in the paper. Arrange the citations in alphabetical order by last name of the first author without numbering. When citing a reference in the text, provide attribution for the subject under discussion. For example, “Cold fusion has been difficult to replicate (Williams and Jones, 1988), but some recent modifications in experimental design (Jones et al., 1989) continue to stimulate new investigation.?Avoid “Jones et al. (1989) found...?or “In a recent study, Jones (1990) found...? which create vague statements because the subject is shifted from “cold fusion?to the names of the cited authors. Use ?i>et al.?(in italics) when the cited work is by three or more authors. When the cited work is by two authors, use both surnames separated by “and? When citing multiple references by the same author(s) in the same year, use “a? “b? etc. (e.g., Jones, 1980b). Multiple references should be listed in chronological order of publication, separated by semi-colons. “Unpublished observations?and “personal communications?may be inserted and cited (in parentheses) in the text with written permission from the correspondents, but are not to be used as references. Abbreviate journal names according to the style used in Index Medicus. Other titles should be formatted with slight modifications of the style used by the US National Library of Medicine in Index Medicus. Avoid using abstracts as references. Include among the references papers accepted but not yet published; designate the journal and add ?in press)? Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as “unpublished observations?(in parentheses). The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents and checked for correspondence between references cited in the text and listed in the Reference section. Examples of correct forms of references are listed below.
Examples of correct forms of references are listed below. They are single-spaced here for illustration but should be double-spaced in the manuscript.

9) Tables and
10) Figures (maximum, four total)
Tables
Type one table per page. In the order of mention in the text, number each table consecutively with Arabic numerals in the heading. In the heading, follow the table number with a brief descriptive title, generally highlighting the key result. Design tables to highlight key results and comparisons. Make every effort to make the presentation of data clear, simple, and uncluttered. As column headings, use accurate descriptors instead of symbols, acronyms, and abbreviations. To avoid overlong titles and cumbersome tables, use explanatory footnotes whenever possible. In the table or title, indicate the order of footnotes with superscript a,b,c,d,e,f, ... If needed in footnotes, cite the short form of references in parentheses. In tabular columns and the text, decimals less than unity must have the decimal point preceded by a zero. To ensure that the presentation is clear, report only the number of significant digits appropriate to the sensitivity and discrimination of the measure and the differences to be illustrated. Column headings should be simple and clear so that tables will be understandable without consultation of the text. Generally, column headings identify dependent variables, while independent variables are identified by row descriptors on the left. Tables will usually be printed either 3-1/4 or 7 inches wide.
10) Figures
Figures are illustrative materials, including photomicrographs, radiographs, charts, and graphs. When possible, an electronic copy of the figure should be provided on a diskette with the text of the manuscript. Digitized figures must be certified by the contributors to be an accurate representation of the original data and not electronically edited. Figures must be discussed thoroughly in the text. Black-and-white photographic prints, laser-quality reproductions, and original drawings on opaque white paper are preferred. Color reproductions will be published free at the discretion of the Editor. Authors wishing to pay to publish color figures should contact the Publications Department at the Central Office, at 703-548-0066, e-mail publications@iadr.org. Prices are listed on the Page Charge/Reprint Order Form. An original and two copies of each figure must be submitted. Each set should be placed in a protective folder, one labeled "for printer" and the other two "for review". On the back of each figure, oriented upright, label with contributors' names and figure number (and letter) in sequence corresponding to its mention in the text. Figures will generally be printed column-width, 1-1/2 columns' width, or page-width. Extraneous material should be cropped out to ensure minimal reduction. If crop marks are necessary, do not place them directly on the figure. Mount the figure on a sheet of paper and place the crop marks on the paper. Photomicrographs must include a scale of the form |________|, clearly labeled with a convenient unit of length, e.g., 50 µm. Graphs should be labeled briefly and clearly at the abscissa and ordinate, including the units of measure. All figures must be labeled to allow for easy readability and visualization if reduced by 50% or more. If possible, determine the percentage reduction at which the figure will be reproduced (e.g., 3-1/4 or 7 inches wide). Print a copy at that percentage to see how all elements will be affected. Consider that any line or rule thinner than 1/2 point may not reproduce. Patterns used in bar charts can become illegible, thus rendering useless any keys provided for graphs. Ideally, all figures should be provided at the optimum size for publication. The title and other identification may appear in the legend.
Legends
Legends for all figures, including charts and graphs, must be typed together on a separate page and should be understandable without reference to the text. Include a title highlighting the key result and a key for any symbols or abbreviations used in the figure.
AUTHORITATIVE REFERENCES
The Random House Dictionary of the English Language (Unabridged) will be used as the authority for spelling of non-medical terms. Where two plural forms are provided, the American English form will be used. For anatomical nomenclature, Nomina Anatomica (5th ed.) and Dorland's Illustrated Dictionary will be considered authoritative.
NOMENCLATURE
Authors should refer to the International System of Units (SI), D.T. Goldman and R.J. Bell, Eds., NBS Special Publication 330 (1981). This booklet is available from the US Dept. of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Washington, DC 20234. Use of correct symbols includes m for milli-, ?for micro-, and L for liter (as in mL, µL, etc.). Express grams as g, hours as hr, seconds as sec, and centrifugal force as g (e.g., 10,000 g). Use nm rather than Angstroms. Concentrations should be expressed as mol/L or mmol/L, etc. Insert leading zeros in all numbers less than 1.0 in the text, tables, and figures.
Numbers of ten and fewer should be written out (e.g., ten subjects), except when indicating inanimate quantities (e.g., 10 mL), and numbers that are greater than ten should appear as digits. Always use digits to express dates, dimensions, degrees, doses, periods of time, percentages, proportions, ratios, sums of money, statistical results, weights, and measures, or to enumerate animals (but not people), culture cells and organisms, organs, and teeth. Leave a space between numbers and their accompanying units (e.g., 10 mg, not 10mg), and around the = and ?signs.
Micro-organisms should be referred to in accordance with the International Rules of Nomenclature. When applicable, the nomenclature for bacteria presented in Bergey's Manual of Systemic Bacteriology (current edition) will be followed. The first reference to an organism by genus and species must be in full (e.g., Lactobacillus casei); subsequent mention may abbreviate genus (L. casei). When a common name of a bacterium or group is mentioned, do not italicize (e.g., "some lactobacilli" or "sanguis group streptococci").
Authors of papers containing primary nucleotide sequencing data are expected to deposit this information in an appropriate database (e.g., GenBank/EMBL). Pertinent accession numbers should be provided with the submitted manuscript. Published articles will include a footnote indicating the accession number and database in which the information was deposited.
For examples of format not specified here, contributors should consult the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual (current edition) and current issues of the Journal.
The complete names of individual teeth must be given in full in the text of articles (e.g., "permanent upper right first premolar"). In Tables, these names may be abbreviated by Viohl's Two-digit System. As approved by the International Standards Organization, the first digit indicates the quadrant and the second digit the type of tooth within the quadrant. Starting at the upper right side and rotating clockwise, quadrants are assigned the digits 1 to 4 for the permanent and 5 to 8 for the deciduous teeth; within the same quadrant, teeth from the midline backward are assigned the digits 1 to 8 (deciduous teeth, 1 to 5). For example, the permanent lower right first molar is designated '46' and the deciduous upper left canine, '63'.
Page Proofs. Page proofs should be reviewed meticulously by the authors to (i) approve changes recommended by the Copy Editor, (ii) update information about “in press?and “submitted?references, and (iii) recognize and correct simple errors of fact, grammar, spelling, and typography. While articles cannot be rewritten at this stage, important new information can be added as an Addendum in proofs. Authors will be charged for revisions, and publication will be delayed.
Reprints. Authors receive 50 free reprints. Additional reprints can be ordered with the print order form sent with page proofs to the authors. Pre-payment is required for reprints. Send a check or purchase order to the publisher with the corrected page proofs. Reprints will be mailed from four to six weeks after the article appears in Critical Reviews. Reprint files are not kept by the Editorial or Publications Office.
