Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in molecular biology have brought about major changes in diagnosis, treatment, and preventive measures in the field of dentistry. Furthermore, with the advancement of molecular-based analysis, many scientific papers have been published on the relationship between periodontal disease and lifestyle-related diseases all over the world. In light of this background, appropriate diagnosis of oral diseases at the molecular level and treatment based on that diagnosis are now considered important in current dentistry.
The purpose of this special issue is to provide the latest knowledge on diagnostic methods for various oral diseases, including periodontal disease and peri-implantitis, and the therapeutic effects of drug therapy.
Expected topics:
Molecular biology, oral disease treatment, oral disease diagnosis, drug therapy, regenerative therapy, oral microbiome
