Uncommon Lesions of the Oral Mucosa and Rehabilitation of the Masticatory Function

Dear Colleagues,

Oral health and masticatory function are important factors of general health with a great influence on the quality of life. Even if the lesions of these anatomical structures are common, several uncommon pathologies occur with divergent general consensus on the best management available. We would like to invite you to submit a contribution to a Special Issue on uncommon lesions of the oral mouth and rehabilitation of the masticatory function in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

Considering uncommon lesions of the oral cavity, both tumoral and infective/granulomatous, the therapeutic approach of these lesions is based on both the control of risk factors, design of new preventive strategies and the early detection of these pathologies. In fact, if properly and promptly treated, it may have positive consequences on individuals and the community in term of economic influence and community health.

Masticatory function is essential in this particular cohort of patients. In particular, rehabilitation of post-traumatic, post-oncological and atrophic jaws with oral prostheses and implants are essential to improve the quality of life.

This Special Issue seeks research papers on the proper diagnosis and treatment of rare oral diseases, as well as original studies on the rehabilitation of masticatory function.
