The aim and scope of the journal 'Caries Research' is to promote research in dental caries and related matters through publication of such research, and to present critical evaluations of research findings. The journal will publish articles of original work and reviews on the processes underlying dental caries, and other dental hard tissue conditions, on factors promoting or retarding their progress, and on their etiology, diagnosis, epidemiology, prevention and management.
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review.

Accepted papers become the permanent property of 'Caries Research' and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher.
