چکیده
Editorial It is my honor to introduce the first issue of the Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science (JPIS) under the auspices of the Korean Academy of Periodontology (KAP) which has reached its 50th year of foundation. The KAP was established in 1960 and issued its first official publication, the Journal of the Korean Academy of Periodontology (JKAP) in 1971. Since then, it has been providing up-to-date information in the field of peri-odontal and implant science until scoring the 39th volume last year. Within this period, carefully selected papers including basic research articles, practical clinical reports and fundamental reviews have informed the academic world through this journal. As of 2009, the academy has 2000 members and still counting. We are holding two annual congresses and several symposiums every year. With these scientific activities, the participants have shown excellent presentations which have been published also in the JKAP. Although the level of individual documentation was fair enough to share with the entire society, we have to acknowledge the limitation of the existing publication which is basically written in Korean. Hence, the necessity of the international journal publication has been rising. In order to meet this demand, the editorial board of the JKAP had a special session last year and decided to convert our own publication into the international scientific periodical. Consequently, the JKAP became the JPIS on 2010.
