Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of a globally maintained or even increased incidence of oral diseases, alternatives that improve upon the classical methods for addressing oral pathology are emerging.
Modern research directions involve the use of natural bioactive extracts with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumoral and immunostimulatory effects and other therapeutic properties in the management of a variety of pathologies. Additionally, nanotechnology and the use of bio-nanomaterials for the treatment of oral diseases, especially oral cancer, are becoming attractive method tools for prevention and therapy.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to new advances in the use of antioxidants.
Subjects that will be discussed in this Special Issue will focus on the potential beneficial effects of new/various vegetal extracts with emphasis on their antioxidant properties as well as on optimized biotechnologies for incorporating natural compounds in different delivery forms, including bio-nanomaterials, to improve their bioavailability and therapeutic effects on oral pathology.
All original articles, clinical studies, case reports, case series, and review articles are welcome for submission.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
