Description
Summary:Introduction: on June 30, 1964 the Cuban Journal of Dentistry first appeared which was a firm step in the consolidation of the studies. It is a necessity for the improvement of the professionals culture, knowing the history of medical science. The scarce literature on the subject found motivated us to do this paper. Objective: Conduct a historical research on the Cuban Journal of Dentistry. Method: A historical documentary investigation was conducted to collect data on the Cuban Journal of Dentristy. A literature review was conducted by consulting SciELO Cuba database and the database on books by Cuban authors at the Virtual Health Library, as well as the web pages where this journal is visible. Final Considerations: During these fifty years, the journal has evolved and been nurtured by the benefits of new information technologies and communications to improve accessibility and international visibility. Facing new times, this publication renews its approach to keep pace with the needs of our profession and our professionals.
