Oral-Systemic Health and Disorders: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

Multiple pieces of evidence have long supported the existence of several multi-level interconnections between oral and general health status, being affected by genetic, neurobiological, nutritional, and metabolic factors, as well as by microbiome balance and immune-inflammatory reactivity. Therefore, a better comprehension of the etiopathogenic links between oral, dental, and periodontal conditions, on the one side, and systemic degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders, along with systemically administered medications, on the other side, may pave the way for patient-centered preventive and therapeutic strategies, with personalized approaches.

Original studies, investigating interconnections between oral and general health and providing highlights on the putative mechanisms underlying such inter-relations, as well as reviews, perspectives, and communications, focused on a comprehensive and integrated management of oral and general health, are welcomed.
