Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diagnostics is a key discipline in dentistry which focuses on detecting, classifying, assessing, and monitoring hard tissue defects, e.g., caries or developmental dental defects, dental restorations, periodontitis, traumatized teeth, malocclusion, and other pathologies in the oral and maxillofacial region. The spectrum of diagnostic methods is broad and includes clinical examination procedures, dental radiography, optical devices, 3D scanners, and histological procedures. Furthermore, AI algorithms may automate diagnostic procedures or potentially enhance diagnostic performance. When considering the importance of diagnostics as well as existing knowledge gaps, this Special Issue offers the opportunity for clinicians, practitioners, epidemiologists, and researchers to present their latest findings in this area of interest. Herewith, I invite the scientific community to submit original manuscripts addressing the proposed topics.
The submission deadline is 31 December 2025. You may send your manuscript at any point from now until the deadline.
I look forward to welcoming your contributions to this Special Issue.
