Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral health is increasingly recognized as a critical determinant of systemic health, with a growing body of evidence linking periodontal diseases and other oral conditions to a range of systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory disorders. The advent of bioengineering technologies offers new pathways to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of oral-systemic conditions, moving beyond traditional practices to harness the power of advanced materials, biotechnologies, and precision medicine.
The approaches to diagnosing oral-systemic diseases involve the development of novel biosensors, nanomaterials, and diagnostic devices capable of providing real-time and highly sensitive detection of biomarkers associated with oral health, paving the way for early diagnosis and timely intervention. In addition, therapeutic strategies targeting oral-systemic diseases are also evolving through bioengineering innovation. The use of targeted drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine is revolutionizing the treatment landscape for patients suffering from both oral and systemic conditions.
This Special Issue will highlight current knowledge, emerging diagnostic markers, and therapeutic strategies that bridge dentistry and general medicine. Emphasis will be placed on the role of dental professionals in the early detection of systemic illness and the integration of oral healthcare in broader patient management.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
