Article Body, The submitted manuscript should contain:
Abstract: The abstract of original articles should include the title, Backgrounds and Aim, Materials and Methods,  Results, Conclusion, and three to five keywords from the Medical Subject Heading (Mesh). The abstract of case report articles should include a title, Background, Case presentation, conclusion, and three to five keywords from the Medical Subject Heading (Mesh). The abstract of Review articles should include the title, Backgrounds and Aim, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusion, and three to five keywords from the Medical Subject Heading (based on MeSH and in alphabetical order). The abstract should not be more than 300 words. The conclusion should be factual, based on your results, and state it succinctly. Do not overstate your conclusion, write speculation, or not support by data.
Introduction: This should summarize the purpose and the rationale for the study. It should neither review the subject extensively nor should it have data or conclusions of the study.
Materials and Methods: This should include an exact method, observation, or experiment. If an apparatus is used, its manufacturer’s name and address should be given in parentheses. If the method is established, give a reference but if the method is new, give enough information so that another author can perform it. If a drug is used, its generic name, dosage, and route of administration must be given. For patients, age and sex with mean age ± standard deviation must be given. Statistical methods must be mentioned and any general computer program used in accordance must be specified. The information on the system used should be mentioned. 
Results: It must be presented in the form of text, tables, and illustrations. The contents of the tables should not be repeated in the text. Instead, a reference to the table number may be given. Long articles may need sub-headings within some sections (especially the results and discussion parts) to clarify their contents.
Discussion: This should emphasize the present findings and the variations or similarities with other work done in the field by other researchers. The detailed data should not be repeated in the discussion. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that are following them. It must be stated whether the hypothesis mentioned in the article is true, false or no conclusions can be derived. 
Acknowledgment: All manuscripts should contain an acknowledgment specifying and conceding contributors other than the authors. The authors should also recognize the financial support source in this section.

All scanned images including electronic photographs/radiographs, CT scans, etc., must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. If fonts are used in the artwork, they must be converted to paths or outlines, or they must be embedded in the files. All figure legends should be typed on a separate page. Keep text in figure captions to a minimum but explain all abbreviations used. Total of no more than 4 figures.

Tables and diagrams: Each table should include a title above (sample table). Non-standard abbreviations should be explained as a footnote of the table. Do not duplicate the data of the text in tables. If the results are presented as tables or diagrams, only mention the important points in the text. The diagrams are a preferable method of presentation when there is a large amount of data. The legends should be written under diagrams. The diagrams should be 2 dimensional. Total of no more than 4 tables
References: The authors are responsible for the accuracy of the citations provided. All manuscripts should be accompanied by relevant references. The references should be numbered consecutively in the order of appearance. All references should be cited in text by numbers placed in square brackets ( for example, Implant treatment results and complications were presented [1-3]. )  The References should provide the following information as stated in the presented models regarding to Vancouver styleWrite all references with ENDNOTE.

Types of Manuscripts
Original articles should be organized in the following sections: introduction, methods & materials, results, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgment, and references. The type of the study and statistical analysis should be mentioned in the methods & materials.
 Not more than three figures and four tables should be included. (Reporting guidelines in the EQUATOR Network)
Randomized clinical trials (RCT): The format is similar to original articles. Must strictly adhere to the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) minimum guidelines for publication of randomized clinical trials (http://www.consort-statement.org). The CONSORT checklist and CONSORT flow diagram could be properly filled and sent to us. RCTs should be registered in appropriate trial registries approved by the WHO and their registration number should be mentioned on the title page  (such as the code number from www.irct.ir)
Case reports must include a structured abstract, introduction, case description, discussion, and conclusion. It is worth mentioning that case reports should be documented, concise, and contain a maximum of 4 figures. The case should be rare or novelty in diagnosis or treatment.  CARE checklist could be considered his study should be described following the CARE statement
