Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches for Oral Disorders: 2nd Edition

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Oral disorders encompass multiple pathologies, with different etiologies and pathogeneses, capable of greatly reducing the quality of life of affected individuals. The oral cavity, due to its special anatomical and functional characteristics, represents a site where conventional buccal drug delivery modalities, such as oral gels, tablets, and lozenges, fail to provide proper and adequate local bioavailability of active agents, as incidental swallowing, short retention times, and variations in saliva production limit their potential in treating various oral conditions. In this context, the development of new oral treatment approaches has become very important.

We are delighted to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, which aims to assess the current knowledge and explore future perspectives on the molecular mechanisms underlying oral diseases. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial as it can pave the way for the development of more effective treatment strategies. For this Special Issue, we welcome both original research articles and comprehensive reviews.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
