CRANIO, The Journal of Craniomandibular Practice was first published in December 1982. The journal was born in the hearts of a group of independent practitioners who were interested in presenting a journalistic format covering the field of temporomandibular disorders not currently being addressed in the professional literature. Today, CRANIO is the oldest and largest journal in the world that devotes its entire emphasis to the reporting of temporomandibular disease and disorders.
Riley H. Lunn, D.D.S., is the journal's founding editor. Associate editors are William F. Slagle, D.D.S. and Gerald J. Murphy, D.D.S.
After three years of publication by Chroma, Inc., the journal was sold in 1985 to Williams & Wilkins Publishers of Baltimore, Maryland. For seven years, Williams & Wilkins published CRANIO until it was reacquired by Chroma, Inc. in 1992. Throughout the life of the journal, Dr. Lunn has served as its editor. CRANIO is published quarterly (January, April, July, October) from its home office in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The journal's website, www.cranio.com , is updated regularly in concert with each new issue.
CRANIO is a multidisciplinary journal, with editorial board members from all fields of medicine and dentistry, including general dentists, oral surgeons, orthopedists, radiologists, orthodontists, chiropractors, professors and behavioral scientists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, osteopathic and ear, nose and throat physicians. While our home office is in Chattanooga, our editors and contributors represent a number of locations throughout the United States and the world.
From the beginning, all manuscripts have been peer-reviewed on a double-blind basis to avoid personal bias. Articles are screened for clinical relevance and state-of-the-art expertise. CRANIO publishes commendable works from outstanding researchers and clinicians in their respective fields. The multidisciplinary format allows individuals practicing with a TMD emphasis to stay abreast of related disciplines as each issue presents multiple topics from overlapping areas of interest. If you are interested in submitting an article for publication, please read our Instructions for Authors . We welcome your participation.
CRANIO's current readership (thousands) is comprised primarily of dentists; however, many physicians, physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopathic physicians and other related specialists subscribe and contribute to CRANIO.
A number of organizations have adopted CRANIO as their official journal. CRANIO, however, has maintained its status as an independent publication, operating outside these organizations to remain unconstrained by the opinions generated by a particular group or discipline.
