The aim of the Journal of Clinical Periodontology is to provide a platform for the exchange of scientific and clinical progress in the field of periodontology and allied disciplines, and to do so at the highest possible level. The Journal also aims to facilitate the application of new scientific knowledge to the daily practice of the concerned disciplines and addresses both practicing clinicians and members of the academic community.

The Journal is the official publication of the European Federation of Periodontology but serves an international audience by publishing contributions of high scientific merit in the fields of periodontology and implant dentistry. The journal accepts a broad spectrum of original work characterized as clinical or preclinical, basic or translational, as well as authoritative reviews, and proceedings of important scientific workshops. The journal’s scope encompasses the physiology and pathology of the periodontal and peri-implant tissues, the biology and the modulation of periodontal and peri-implant tissue healing and regeneration, the diagnosis, etiology, epidemiology, prevention and therapy of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions, the association of periodontal infection/inflammation and general health, and the clinical aspects of comprehensive rehabilitation of the periodontitis-affected patient.
