Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to address the multifaceted aspects of pediatric dental care, encompassing both normative and pathological conditions, as well as various disabilities. With a comprehensive focus on all dental specialties, including conservative dentistry, endodontics, orthodontics, surgery, prophylaxis, sedation, and technological advancements, this issue seeks to provide a holistic overview of the evolving practices in the treatment and management of children within the dental setting. Additionally, dental care often requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving not only the management of oral health in healthy children but also the careful consideration of the unique needs of those with congenital or acquired conditions. This collection will highlight the latest research, clinical innovations, and therapeutic strategies designed to enhance outcomes for young patients, providing a critical resource for dental professionals across specialties.
The Special Issue welcomes all types of manuscripts, including literature reviews, original research articles, and case reports. By featuring contributions from experts across various fields, this collection will offer insights into the integration of advanced technologies and techniques in delivering safe, effective, and compassionate care to children of all ages, with a particular emphasis on optimizing both functional and psychological well-being.
