Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The oral cavity microbiome is a very complex system that requires balance for its health; therefore, combating microorganisms that disrupt this ecosystem is essential. Current dental practice has focused on addressing the causative agents of the various diseases and conditions that can occur in the oral cavity.
Dentistry has currently shifted toward the identification, creation, and application of various biomaterials with antimicrobial action that help regulate the oral environment.
This Special Issue focuses on educating dentists, physicians, hygienists, and all professionals involved in human health about new technologies and their application in one of the medical areas that has turned its attention to disease prevention across a variety of specialties, not just restoration.
