Periodontics and Implant Dentistry—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Periodontics and implantology are fundamental areas of dentistry, focused, respectively, on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting tissues of the teeth and on oral rehabilitation through dental implants. In recent years, scientific and technological advances have transformed these specialties, providing more effective and safe and less invasive treatments both for maintaining periodontal health and for placing and maintaining implants. The incorporation of technologies such as digital diagnostics, virtual planning, and the use of biomaterials has expanded therapeutic possibilities, ensuring greater precision and more predictable results. In addition, techniques such as laser therapy, guided tissue regeneration, and 3D printing are revolutionizing clinical protocols, allowing for personalized treatments with shorter recovery times. These advances not only improve patients' quality of life but also challenge professionals to stay up to date in a constantly evolving field. This work explores the main developments in periodontics and implantology, highlighting how new technologies have positively impacted dental practice and pointing out promising trends for the future. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Periodontics;
• Implantology;
• Technological advances;
• Periodontal health;
• Dental implants;
