Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral rehabilitation focuses not only on maintaining and restoring oral functions, such as eating and swallowing, but also on improving oral hygiene and advancing dental treatment. It plays a critical role in improving the function, appearance, and overall health of individuals with oral and systemic diseases. Advances in dental technology, neuroscience, and interdisciplinary care have expanded oral rehabilitation’s capabilities, broadened its scope, and introduced new treatment options. However, several challenges remain. Key questions include whether oral rehabilitation can optimize long-term disease management, its potential and limitations in addressing neuromuscular function, and how best to integrate oral hygiene improvements and dental treatments into a broader healthcare framework. While research is continuing to unravel the complex relationships between oral function, neuroplasticity, and systemic health, many aspects remain unclear. In this Special Issue, we will showcase valuable evidence, the latest findings, innovative approaches, emerging challenges, and future directions in oral rehabilitation. By launching this Special Issue, we hope to provide new insights that will ultimately lead to improved patient care.
