Antimicrobial Therapy in Oral Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Antibiotics, "Antimicrobial Therapy in Oral Diseases", invites articles focused on the clinical use of antibiotics and antiseptic products as replacements of antibiotherapy in dentistry, as well as in-depth research focused on the antibiotic resistance of oral bacteria, effects of antibiotics and antiseptics on oral cell behavior and oral healing, and new antimicrobial-based products for oral use. In particular, clinical and preclinical studies on the use of antimicrobials in periodontal and peri-implant diseases will be highly welcomed.

Aging associated with increased life expectancy augments the frequency of some oral pathologies of infectious aetiology, and their association with some general diseases modifies host response and therapeutical outcomes, complicating clinical and scientific reasoning.

Experimental and well-designed clinical studies based on the above-mentioned topics, but not limited to them, under the umbrella of multi-disciplinarity are highly encouraged.

We invite you to submit your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Alexandra Roman
Dr. Andrada Soanca
