Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, dentistry has increased its aspects of research and its cooperation with other disciplines. The development of new technologies, materials and methods in the field of dentistry has created collaboration and union between dentistry and new materials. This has occurred in all branches of dentistry: conservative, endodontics, periodontics, implantology, oral surgery, and orthodontics. Therefore, this Special Issue brings together the new discoveries on a molecular level in dentistry with the scientific evidence of medicine. The discovery of new materials and new technologies has led to the discovery of new materials for bone regeneration, especially following atrophy or to fill dental defects. Therefore, this new technology has seen growth in all fields of dentistry. This Special Issue aims to disseminate new technologies and processes for the treatment of all molecular fields in dentistry. This approach coevolves all branches of dentistry: conservative, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, and dental trauma.

This Special Issue will provide an excellent forum to bring together different communities and publish research of a high caliber, which will be beneficial to healthcare. For this purpose, we invite you to submit original research articles, clinical articles with molecular data, and reviews on any of the topics mentioned above. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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-blind 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.

Dry socket or alveolar osteitis is a common postoperative complication following tooth extraction, characterized by severe pain due to the disintegration of the blood clot within the socket. Various factors contribute to its development, such as traumatic extraction, patient age and sex, smoking, and anesthetic use. To mitigate this condition, socket preservation techniques, including the use of bone substitute materials, have been employed. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has emerged as a promising biomaterial, enhancing healing and reducing the incidence of dry socket. Materials and Methods: This systematic review, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines and registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD 578018), examines the efficacy of PRF in managing dry socket by analyzing studies from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science published between January 2013 and May 2024. Boolean keywords have been used in the search strategy: (“Treatment”) AND (“Dry Socket”) AND (“Platelet Rich Fibrin” OR “PRF”). A total of 738 publications were found using the electronic database search. After the screening phase, 13 records were chosen for qualitative analysis. The results from multiple clinical trials and comparative studies indicate that PRF significantly reduces postoperative pain, expedites healing, and lowers the incidence of Alveolar Osteitis. Despite promising results, further large-scale, randomized studies are needed to validate PRF as a standard treatment for dry socket. Full article
