Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (31 December 2021)
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The association of oral diseases and disorders with altered microRNA profiles is firmly recognized. Evidence supports the potential use of microRNAs as therapeutic tools for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various oral and maxillofacial diseases.
This Special Issue will focus the attention on the association among altered microRNA signatures in oral cancers and oral inflammatory diseases, as well as the advances in the ability to detect microRNAs in human serum and saliva further highlight their clinical value as potential biomarkers. Moreover, the Special Issue will evaluate the key mechanisms underlying microRNA dysregulation in pathological conditions, from oral cancer to the main oral diseases and following the use of dental biomaterials. Studies and Reviews (critical and systematical) that analyze the use of microRNAs in diagnostics and their potential therapeutic value in the treatment of oral diseases are also welcomed.
