INTRODUCTION

Summarize the rationale and purpose of the study, giving only pertinent references. Clearly

state the working hypothesis.

All references given must be cited in the text, numbered in order of appearance in square

brackets, e.g. [1]; [2,4,7] or [2-5]

For the Headings and subheadings use the following text decorations:
FIRST HEADING: UPPERCASE, BOLD
First level subheading: Bold
Second level subheading: Bold, italic

Example:
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Guidelines to identify mandibular vital structures
Mandibular canal region
Mental foramen region
Anterior loop of the mental nerve region

In some cases, you may need "third level," even "fourth level," subheadings (the main
subheading being the "first level") then use the following:

Third level subheading: Normal


Fourth subheading: Italic

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This section lists the methods used in the study in sufficient detail so that other investigators

would be able to reproduce the research. When established methods are used, the author need

only refer to previously published reports; however, the authors should provide brief

descriptions of methods that are not well known or that have been modified.

The populations for research involving humans should be clearly defined (Subject sample;

Inclusion criteria’s) and enrolment dates provided (this study was conducted from April 1,

3
2019 to June 1, 2020). If there is experimentation involving human subjects study should be

in full accordance with ethical principles, i.e.

The study was conducted at the Department, University, Country between April 1, 2019 to

June 1, 2020.

All participants have read and signed informed consent form.

The study protocol was approved by the by the Ethical Committee (or Institutional Review

Board) of University, Country (Protocol No. XXXX).

When experimental animals are used the methods section must clearly indicate that adequate

measures were taken to minimize pain or discomfort, i.e.

The experimental protocol was approved by the Animals Experiments Committee of the

University, Country (Protocol No. XXXX).

Identify all drugs, chemicals, implants and graft material used, including both generic and, if

necessary, proprietary names and doses, i.e.

 articain 4% (Ubistesin™ Forte 1.7ml N50 - 3M ESPE Dental AG; Seefeld, Germany)

 Bio-Gide® membrane (Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland);

 Straumann® BoneCeramic 0.5-1 mm (bi-phasic 60% HA and 40% β-TCP - Institute

Straumann AG; Basel, Switzerland).

Clinical trials should be reported using the CONSORT guidelines available at www.consort-

statement.org. It should be described four stages of a trial:

1. Enrolment;

2. Intervention allocation;

3. Follow-up;

4
4. Analysis.

A CONSORT checklist and flow diagram should be included in the submission material. Use

the templates of the CONSORT 2010 checklist and flow diagram: http://www.consort-

statement.org/consort-2010.

JOMR encourages authors submitting articles reporting from a clinical trial to register the

trials in any of the following free, public clinical trials registries:

www.clinicaltrials.gov, http://www.ifpma.org/tag/clinical-trials/, http://isrctn.org/. The

clinical trial registration number and name of the trial register will then be published with the

paper.

Statistical analysis (subsection)

Indicate the statistical methods used, if applicable. Include the short description of Mean (SD)

the e.g. “Parametric data were expressed as mean and standard deviation (M [SD]). Statistical

significance level was defined at P = 0.05.”

RESULTS

Present results in a logical sequence in the text, tables, and illustrations. Do not repeat in the

text all the data in the tables or illustrations; emphasize only important observations. Together

with data give the results of statistical methods used, providing exact values, e.g. 30 (SD 10)

years), P < 0.05. Numerical data should be expressed mean (SD), e.g. 55.05 ± 10.07 should be

55.05 (10.07).

5
All tables and figures should be numbered and cited in the text in order of appearance. Tables

should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals (Table 1) in the order of their

appearance in the text.

All figures should clarify the text and their number should be kept to a minimum. All pictures

should be referenced in the text using parentheses (e.g. Figure 1).

DISCUSSION

Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from

them. Do not repeat in detail data or other material given in the Introduction or Results

section. Relate observations to other relevant studies and point out the implications of the

findings and their limitations.

CONCLUSIONS

Link the conclusions with the goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and

conclusions not adequately supported by the data. In particular, authors should avoid making

statements on economic benefits and costs unless their article includes the appropriate

economic data and analyses. Avoid claiming priority and alluding to work that has not been

completed. New hypotheses can be stated when warranted, but should be clearly labelled as

such (no abbreviations).

REFERENCES

All references given must be cited in the text, numbered in order of appearance in square

brackets, e.g. [1]; [2,4,7] or [2-5]

The reference list should be double-spaced at the end of the article in numeric sequence.

Please, delete all footnotes as references in article

Do not include unpublished data or personal communications in the reference list. Cite such

references parenthetically in the text and include a date.

Avoid using abstracts as reference.

We would greatly appreciate if you could append a "[Medline: 24421983]" (where 12656872

is the PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE) at the end of a reference. This speeds up our

copyediting/typesetting process and prevents citation errors.

You may (in particular for references not listed in PubMed) add the DOI at the end of the

reference (e.g. [doi: 10.5037/jomr.2011.2101]). The DOI is a unique identifier which is

published by most journals somewhere within the article. You may check whether a DOI is

correct using the DOI resolver at http://dx.doi.org/.

Provide complete information for each reference, including names of all authors. Do not use

“et al.” to abbreviate authors. If the reference is to part of a book, also include the title of the

chapter (or part) and names of the book's editor(s).

Journal reference style should be based on Vancouver system and on "Uniform

requirements for articles submitted to biomedical journals" (JAM 1997; 277:927-34,

TABLES

Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals (Table 1) in the order of their

appearance in the text. A brief descriptive title should be supplied for each. Explanations,

including abbreviations, should be listed as footnotes, not in the heading. Every column

should have a heading. For each row should be created a new table row, rather than writing

multiple rows into one cell. Do not use .0 e.g. 13 (65.0) should be 13 (65).

Statistical measures of variations such as standard deviation or standard error of the mean

should be included as appropriate in the footnotes. Example:

FIGURES

All figures should clarify the text and their number should be kept to a minimum. All pictures

should be referenced in the text using parentheses (e.g. Figure 1). Details must be large

enough to retain their clarity after reduction in size. Each figure should have a legend. Before

attempting to insert a figure or illustration. All illustrations must be the highest quality! Please

submit all graphics as separate files or send via email info@ejomr.org.

Figure legends should be grouped at the end of the text on a separate sheet. Detailed captions

are encouraged. Legends should be typed double-spaced with Arabic numbers corresponding

to the figure. When arrows, symbols, numbers, or letters are used, explain each clearly in the

legend; also explain internal scale, original magnification, and method of staining as

appropriate. Panel labels should be in capital letters. Legends should not appear on the same

page as the actual figures. Example:

Figure 1. Panoramic observation of the extraction socket: (a) = buccal soft tissues; (b) =

labial plate vertical position; (c) = apex of extraction socket. Labial plate resorption is evident

(hematoxylin and eosin stain, original magnification x40).
