Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Oral diseases, such as periodontal and peri-implant diseases, dental caries, medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, oral leukoplakia, cancer, oral lichen planus, and other auto-immune diseases, that have manifestations in the oral cavity cause major health and social issues. In addition to the affected function, esthetics, and quality of life that these pathologies induce, there is also the significant economic burden that one must consider. Diagnosis for these pathologies can be difficult to navigate; however, recent developments in medicine (such as, but not limited to, improved radiological and non-invasive techniques, chair-side tests, biological, immunological and paraclinical tests) have expanded the knowledge base of these diseases.

Taking all this into account, non-invasive early diagnosis that can discriminate between health and pathology, and the possible systemic disease interactions and effects on the oral cavity and vice versa, is paramount for the correct assessment and management of patients. Moreover, the effectiveness of treatment and monitoring during the maintenance phase is a necessary step in appropriate disease management in the context of personalized medicine and patient-centered approach.

This Special Issue of Diagnostics and the Journal of Clinical Medicine aims to share recent advancements and knowledge of diagnosing periodontal and peri-implant and other oral diseases, along with methods of monitoring disease progression and treatment effectiveness. We cordially invite researchers to submit either original research or reviews in the areas including, but not limited to, oral diseases diagnosis and treatment, theoretical and clinical studies on new and established diagnostic methods, treatment effectiveness evaluation, systemic diseases and medication effects on the oral cavity, and new clinical treatment procedures and protocols.

Periodontal disease is a site-specific disease affecting the supporting tissues of the teeth. It is useful for the clinician to have information about the prevalence and severity of alveolar bone loss (ABL) according to the site, location, and position of the teeth for a better treatment plan and expected prognosis. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and severity of ABL at mesial, distal, buccal and lingual sites of teeth in different locations, positions and sides of the dentition. The ABL of 20,620 sites of 5155 teeth in 212 patients was assessed using cone-beam computed tomography from the cemento-enamel junction to the crest of the alveolar bone. The prevalence of ABL was higher in the interproximal sites as well as anterior and mandibular teeth compared to their counterparts. Buccal sites and anterior teeth revealed higher ABL levels than the other tooth sites and posterior teeth, respectively. Furthermore, associations in the severity of ABL were observed between distal and mesial sites, buccal and lingual sites, maxillary and mandibular teeth, anterior and posterior teeth, and right and left sides. This study showed that the prevalence and severity of ABL differ from one tooth site to another and according to the tooth’s location in the dentition. Higher prevalences were found in the interproximal sites, anterior teeth and mandibular teeth; higher ABL was found in buccal and distal sites, with the strongest associations between distal and mesial sites, buccal and lingual sites, and right and left sides.
