JIOMS isan Oral Medicine profession journal that publishes case reports and research in the field. It isenvisioned that JIOMS will become a forum for professionals in Oral Medicine at ISPMI and from otherdisciplines, such as oral pathology, oral surgery, and other related fields. Approximately 200 specialistsor enthusiasts in oral medicine are currently distributed across 29 provinces, teaching in 28educational institutions, practiced in various public and private hospitals and private practices inIndonesia.
