Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxidative stress, caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS), is considered a major cause of various diseases in the medical field, including lifestyle-related diseases, dementia, and cancer. In dentistry, ROS are implicated in periodontal disease, one of the two major dental diseases, and have long been used as root canal disinfectants in clinical dentistry. However, oxidative stress and antioxidant systems are still not included in mainstream dental research. To overcome this situation, this Special Issue of " The Role of Oxidative stress and Antioxidant systems in Oral Health" will collate the results of research on oxidative stress and antioxidant systems related to oral health, dental diseases, and dental treatment. In this Special Issue, we would like to report on the involvement of oxidative stress and antioxidant systems in major oral diseases, such as periodontal disease, xerostomia, stomatitis, and oral cancer, and to include the latest research reports on the involvement of reactive oxygen species in the osseointegration of titanium used in oral implant therapy and the safety of radical polymerization in dental adhesives. Furthermore, in the "100-year life age," we hope to publish research that demonstrates the importance of oral function based on the interaction between higher brain function and oral antioxidant effects, in order to achieve healthy longevity even in old age, as well as research that prevents the negative chain of events, which leads to low nutrition and sarcopenia in the elderly and disabled through future-type dental nutrition collaboration. The research on oral oxidative stress and antioxidant assessments related to oral frailty and frailness, as well as the development of oral health care products through industry–academia collaborations, should also be included.
We would like to make this a Special Issue that communicates the clear message of bringing about groundbreaking dental innovations through basic and applied research on oxidative stress and antioxidant systems in dentistry and ROS, and we look forward to your contributions.
