Editorial: A Journal with a Vision into the Evolution of the Dental Profession.

Abstract

I would like to greet you all as the incoming Editor-in-Chief of the European Journal of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry (EJPRD) which has a history of over 60 years. Back in 1965, the journal was initially named 'Journal (Anglo-Continental Dental Society)' which was published semi-annually by the same society. In 1984, A.E. Morgan Publications started publishing the journal as 'Restorative Dentistry' associated with the British Society for Restorative Dentistry (inaugurated 1968). In 1992, the journal was renamed as "European Journal of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry" and became a new peer-reviewed medical journal under the leadership of the founding Editorin- Chief, Prof. Paul S. Wright, published by Mosby-Year Book Europe Ltd., which was already then abstracted and indexed in MEDLINE/Pubmed. In 2012, and until now, the publisher became Stephen Hancocks Ltd. in association with Dennis Barber Ltd. Later in 2021, Editor-in chief, Prof. Will Palin, who served between 2015-2024, together with the publisher Dennis Barber Ltd., took the journal online and also helped the journal gain an impact factor.
