Columbia Dental Review

The Columbia Dental Review (CDR) is an annual publication of Columbia University College of Dental Medicine (CDM). This journal is intended to be a clinical publication, featuring case presentations supported by substantial reviews of the relevant literature. It is a peer-reviewed journal, edited by the students of the school. The editors are selected on the basis of demonstrated clinical scholarship. Authors are primarily CDM students from pre-doctoral and post-doctoral programs, CDM faculty and residents, and attendings from affiliated hospitals. Peer reviewers are selected primarily from the CDM faculty. Submissions undergo a blind peer review system whereby the authors are not known by the reviewers (at least two per manuscript). Instructions for authors wishing to submit articles for future editions of the CDR can be found on the last page of this journal. Opinions expressed by the authors do not necessarily represent the policies of Columbia University College of Dental Medicine.
