Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tooth wear and bruxism are increasingly recognized as significant factors affecting long-term oral health, often associated with functional disturbances, esthetic concerns, and reduced quality of life. As the understanding of occlusal dynamics evolves, so too do the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to managing these conditions. This Special Issue, Tooth Wear, Bruxism, and Emerging Trends in Occlusal Health, aims to highlight recent advances in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of occlusal disorders. Topics of interest include pathological tooth wear, sleep and awake bruxism, occlusal analysis technologies, psychosocial factors, and the role of digital dentistry. We also welcome studies exploring the interface between occlusion, temporomandibular joint function, and overall systemic health. Contributions may include original research articles, reviews, and other papers that advance our understanding of modern occlusal health management.
