Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of molecular and histological approaches in dentistry has become increasingly critical for advancing our understanding of oral tissue regeneration and diagnostics. These methodologies enable us to delve into the intricate cellular and molecular processes underlying both the repair of dental tissues and the progression of oral diseases. Molecular techniques, ranging from genomics and proteomics to advanced imaging, provide detailed insights into the mechanisms of tissue regeneration, while histological analyses offer a direct view of the structural and morphological changes occurring within dental tissues. Together, these approaches facilitate the identification of key biomarkers and pathways involved in tissue healing, disease progression, and the response to therapeutic interventions. In this Special Issue, we invite contributions that explore innovative strategies combining molecular and histological methods. Topics of interest include but are not limited to, the study of dental stem cells, tissue engineering, the molecular pathogenesis of dental diseases, and the development of advanced diagnostic tools. We particularly welcome research that demonstrates how these techniques can be applied to improve clinical outcomes and personalize dental care.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
