Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of medical technology is rapidly advancing, and all medical researchers and practitioners need to learn the latest techniques and acquire current knowledge, resulting in the acquirement of practical clinical ability.
In dentistry, clinical practitioners commonly diagnose and treat various oral and craniofacial diseases in addition to preventive dental practices. On the other hand, many diseases such as idiopathic/progressive condylar resorption and temporomandibular disorders remain challenging in their protection and control. To practice patient-centered care, it is of great importance to obtain scientifically based information in clinical dentistry with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base.
This Special Issue provides a new era of diagnosis and treatment in the dental field and informs of new technologies and materials in preclinical and clinical dentistry that may make the impossible possible. We are willing to publish articles relevant to many related dental specialties and cutting-edge technologies. The essential requirement of this issue is that all submitted articles include a challenging hypothesis, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
