ABOUT THE JOURNAL

 

Basic information

Objective: The objective of this journal is to disseminate and promote the interchange of information among the several areas of knowledge to which dental research is dedicated, providing the domestic and international scientific communities with a formal channel of communication and thereby contribute to the advancement of knowledge.

History: In mid-1952, dentistry was incipient because of the lack of scientific information. In Brazil, news was disseminated by the journal Paulista Association of Dental Surgeons (APCD) from São Paulo and the journal Brazilian Association of Dentistry (ABO) from Rio de Janeiro. In Porto Alegre, most of the cultural influence was imported from Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

Given the above, a group of professors from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul School of Dentistry that included Professors Haroldo Cauduro, Paulo Chaves, Leonardo Schifino and Nicolau Fonseca Milano decided to create the Revista Gaúcha de Odontologia. Two years later, Professors Salomão Raizler and Élson Ritzel joined the team. Once the group was formed, each one was given a task: Haroldo Cauduro, became director, Paulo Chaves was put in charge of soliciting advertisements for the future journal which would also provide us with the means to survive and became manager, Leonardo Schifino became the editor and Nicolau Fonseca Milano became the editor-in-chief. So this was the embryonic phase of the journal.

Immediately after planning, the journal was brought to life. It needed a name. This was the easiest part. The tradition of the pampas spoke the loudest and the name could only be Gaúcha. Gaúcha (female) or gaucho (male) is someone or something that is native of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. And this is how the first issue was born and crawled in January of 1953: Volume 1, Issue 1, January - March of 1953. This name was kept until volume 38. From volume 39 onwards, the name became RGO - Revista Gaúcha de Odontologia.

Periodicity: Quarterly

Its abbreviated title is RGO - Rev Gaúcha Odontol. (Online), and it should be used in bibliographies, footnotes, references and bibliographic strips.
