Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce this Special Issue, "Emerging Trends in Dental Caries: Insights into Etiology, Risk Factors, and Treatment Strategies (2nd Edition)". This Special Issue will explore the forefront of research in dental caries, bridging the gap between traditional concepts and innovative methodologies. We invite contributions that delve into the effects of antimicrobials on oral biofilms, mechanisms of demineralization and remineralization, and the complex interactions within oral biofilms. By focusing on the early detection of dental caries, the pathogenicity of oral biofilms, and novel dental management approaches, this Special Issue will offer a comprehensive understanding of the multifactorial nature and prevention of caries. We encourage submissions that provide fresh perspectives on oral disease management, including original articles and comprehensive reviews.
Dr. Hee-Eun Kim
Guest Editor
