Antimicrobial Therapy in Oral Diseases, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the first volume of the Special Issue “Antimicrobial Therapy in Oral Diseases”, we are pleased to announce the launch of this second edition. As a continuation of the Special Issue, this volume will focus on the clinical use of antibiotics and antiseptic products as replacements in antibiotherapy in dentistry, as well as showcasing in-depth research on antibiotic resistance in oral bacteria, the effects of antibiotics and antiseptics on oral cell behavior and oral healing, and new antimicrobial-based products for oral use. We particularly welcome clinical and preclinical studies on the use of antimicrobials in periodontal and peri-implant diseases.

The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance among oral microorganisms further emphasizes the need for innovative therapeutic strategies and a deeper understanding of host–microbe interactions within the oral cavity.

Aging associated with increased life expectancy increases the frequency of certain oral pathologies of infectious etiology, and their association with a number of general diseases modifies host responses and therapeutic outcomes, complicating clinical and scientific analysis.

We welcome experimental and well-designed clinical studies addressing, but not limited to, the above-mentioned topics, especially multidisciplinary works.

We invite you to submit innovative and relevant research for consideration for this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Alexandra Roman
Dr. Andrada Soanca
