Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts for an upcoming Special Issue entitled “Oral Pathology: Current Perspectives and Future Prospects”. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive review of the latest research and advances, as well as future directions, in the field of oral pathology.

We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case reports that address key aspects of oral pathology, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Pathophysiology and molecular mechanisms behind oral diseases;
  • Innovations in diagnostic techniques, including imaging and biomarkers;
  • The relationship between oral and systemic health;
  • Advances in the treatment of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), oral cancer, and other lesions;
  • Emerging technologies, including AI and digital pathology, in clinical practice.

This Special Issue will provide an excellent opportunity for researchers and clinicians to share their insights and contribute to the ongoing development of oral pathology. We encourage submissions from diverse fields, as interdisciplinary collaboration is essential in advancing our understanding and management of oral diseases.
