The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry (JERD) is the longest standing peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to advancing the knowledge and practice of esthetic dentistry.  Its goal is to provide the very latest evidence-based information in the realm of contemporary interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry through high quality clinical papers, sound research reports and educational features.

The range of topics covered in the journal includes:
Interdisciplinary esthetic concepts
Implants
Conservative adhesive restorations
Tooth Whitening
Prosthodontic materials and techniques
Dental materials
Orthodontic, periodontal and endodontic esthetics
Esthetics related research
Innovations in esthetics
A key focus of JERD is interdisciplinary concepts in dental esthetics including interactions among restorative, orthodontic, periodontal and endodontic areas in achieving optimal esthetic and restorative outcomes.  JERD publishes high quality peer-reviewed clinical papers and relevant in vitro and in vivo studies along with an insightful Commentary feature from a noted topic expert following each paper.
JERD also includes a number of regular features.  Each issue begins with a Perspectives feature that serves as a forum for the Editor-in-Chief as well as invited topic experts to discuss timely and salient issues relevant to esthetic dentistry.  An Ask the Experts section adroitly handled by Associate Editor, Dr Ed Swift, concisely answers vital and timely questions on a variety of esthetics and restorative dentistry-related topics. The highly successful Critical Appraisal section, also co-ordinated by Dr Swift, reviews the latest research on specific topics followed by an invaluable summary, called The Bottom Line.
Finally, at the end of each issue, a Talking with Patients feature coordinated by Assistant Editor, Dr Andre Ritter, discusses in laymen’s terms various aspects of esthetic and restorative dentistry.
In 2014 JERD started a collaboration with the Society of Color and Appearance in Dentistry (SCAD), publishing their Journal of Color and Appearance in Dentistry (JCAD) as a regular issue of JERD.
These features coupled with a core of high quality clinical, research, and review articles make the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry an invaluable resource for those interested in performing high quality esthetic dentistry.
