In the current context of the exponential spread of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its associated disease globally, and also in Romania, we are faced with a growing concern in the way it affects us both in terms of public health as well as personally in the activity we carry out every day in our field of work.

Unfortunately, it seems that this pandemic will not end shortly, implicating that we will have to adapt to the new conditions and consider the current protocols as rules that will need to be applied from now on for an extended period of time. During this timeframe, a significant number of people will probably avoid dental treatments (excepting dental emergencies) both because of the way this pandemic affects us financially, but before all else for psychological reasons: it will be difficult for the patients to overcome their fear of falling victim to this novel virus. For many of these, the dental office is a potential source of infection, primarily considering that the person most exposed to this risk is the dentist himself [1].

The dental patient with his pathology, his needs and his demands represents the point of departure for the research and innovations in dentistry. He is the most important recipient of the clinical advancement and innovations achieved through medical science. This journal is meant to provide the scientific content and peer-reviewed research to improve clinical outcome, as well as treatment planning options, in order to enhance success of dental treatment [1].

The need for multidisciplinarity in modern dentistry

Mircea Suciu 1

It is a privilege to introduce to you Acta Stomatologica Marisiensis Journal a new international journal under the authority of University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Tirgu Mures whose purpose is to promote the topical issues of modern dentistry.
ASMJ wants a multidisciplinary journal that publishes high quality articles in all areas of dentistry, covering a complex area, from cariology to orthodontics, implant dentistry or nanotechnology and medical bioengineering.
A top priority and topical issue for all medical fields is to look at the human body as a unitary complex of biological systems that depend on each other and which are regulated by intrinsic neuroendocrine mechanisms and function as a whole as a computer to maintain the human body’s homeostasis [1].
This requires a multidisciplinary approach and thinking for any disease and supports the detection of risk factors with pathogenic potential, capable of generating the appearance of morbid entities of the stomatognomic ensemble that is manifested by polymorphism, often placing physicians in difficulty in formulating correct diagnoses. These are clearly necessary to establish a proper treatment for each patient.
This approach to dental medicine opens the way for elaborate interdisciplinary collaborations when dealing with a complex oral rehabilitation of clinical cases.
