Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, research has focused on new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in the management of oral diseases. Oral medicine is increasingly oriented towards prevention and early diagnosis, mainly due to the continuous development of minimally invasive and personalised diagnostic techniques.

This Special Issue aims to provide an update on the latest research and advances in oral medicine that can help improve clinical decision-making and impact the quality of life of our patients.

Topics of interest include:

Oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders: diagnosis and management;
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws: diagnosis and management;
Diagnosis and management of oral diseases (benign, infectious, and autoimmune diseases);
Management of Special Needs Patients and medically compromised patients;
Oral diseases in patients with systemic problems;
New technologies in oral medicine;
Oral prevention projects that improve oral health awareness and knowledge.

All original articles, clinical studies, case reports, case series, and review articles are welcome for submission.

We encourage the presentation of interdisciplinary works and collaborative research between more countries.

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 2300 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.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to identify variations in the origins of the anterior branches of the external carotid artery (ECA) and to propose an update of the current classification. Methods: The study included 100 carotids arteries from fifty human donors. Classification of anterior branches of external carotid artery was performed according to Vaz’quez et al. (2009). Results: The configuration origins of anterior branches were found as follows: Type I, 82%; Type II, 1%; Type III, 16%. No Type IV was observed. The study identified seven subgroups of anterior branch variations in the external carotid artery. The most frequently observed variations were Subtype Ia in 40% (n = 20) of cases on the right side and Subtype Ib in 38% (n = 19) on the left side. In addition, a rare and previously unclassified configuration was observed in a 72-year-old male donor, where the carotid artery was pentafurcated on the left side. Conclusions: In conclusion, the presence of anatomical variants not previously included in the anterior external carotid artery branching classifications supports the consideration of a revision to the present classification system.
