Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to be able to invite you to submit a manuscript to the forthcoming Special Issue, “Clinical Research of Novel Therapeutic Approaches in Dentistry (2nd Edition)”, for the Journal of Clinical Medicine (IF: 3.0).

This second edition of the Special Issue continues to address a broad spectrum of topics related to the application of modern devices and materials in medicine and dentistry across various levels of research, from pre-clinical to clinical studies.

This Special Issue aims to publish studies at a pre-clinical to clinical level that consider how to apply novel advanced devices, e.g., lasers, piezosurgery, CAD/CAM technology, and CBCT, in order to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases and other disorders of the oral cavity. Papers describing the application of methods and therapies, such as novel treating methods, laser technology, or tissue-guided regeneration, are welcome. This Special Issue will accept the most advanced pre-clinical to clinical research and advancements in regenerative materials for oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontology, and implantology. Finally, studies that facilitate an enhanced understanding of how we can apply modern technologies to decrease bacterial, viral, and fungal contamination in a dental office will be considered for publication in the SI.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background/Objectives: The nature, diameter, and cross-section of orthodontic archwires affect tooth movement and the surrounding alveolar bone. Researchers have explored different features of archwires to optimize treatment outcomes. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the properties of the I-arch for its effects on alveolar bone height, dehiscence, fenestration, and treatment duration. Methods: Forty patients (eight males, and thirty-two females; mean age: 20.97 ± 2.41 years) with dental crowding ≤ 6 mm and Class I malocclusion were treated without extractions. They were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (EG, n = 20), treated with the I-arch, and the control group (CG, n = 20), treated with traditional archwires of the MBT technique. Two CBCT scans were taken for each patient, one before treatment (T0) and one after leveling (T2). The studied teeth were upper and lower centrals, canines, and second premolars. The treatment duration was measured across three periods: T0–T1, T1–T2, and T0–T2. Results: Alveolar bone resorption, dehiscence, and fenestration were lower in the EG. Total treatment duration (T0–T2) was similar between groups, but the first period (T0–T1) was significantly shorter in the EG (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The I-arch resulted in fewer side effects on alveolar bone height during leveling and alignment. Full article

Intraoral Approach Through the Nasal Floor for Surgical Removal of Inverted Mesiodens: Protocol and Case Series

Background/Objectives: The most common form of supernumerary teeth is represented by the mesiodens. Very often, they are impacted, usually palatially, but can be found buccally or between the roots of the permanent central incisors. Their position can be normal, inclined, or inverted.

Background/Objectives: The most common form of supernumerary teeth is represented by the mesiodens. Very often, they are impacted, usually palatially, but can be found buccally or between the roots of the permanent central incisors. Their position can be normal, inclined, or inverted. In the possible case where the impacted mesiodens crown is oriented upwards towards the nasal cavity, they are called inverted mesiodens. The inverted mesiodens are mainly asymptomatic, and the main diagnostic methods are radiological, especially CBCT. Methods: This paper presents the intraoral approach through the nasal floor as a very reliable method for the surgical removal of inverted mesiodens. We report a protocol, including the diagnosis process, criteria for choosing this surgical approach, and description of the surgical procedure. Preoperative CBCT is mandatory for diagnosis and choice of the surgical approach. This is chosen based on measurements on the cross-sectional view of the CBCT investigation and is in compliance with our criteria related to the appropriate surgical approach. Results: Using this approach, the mesiodens were extracted without intraoperative or postoperative complications or accidents, and operating times were relatively short. Conclusions: The intraoral approach through the nasal floor for surgical removal of inverted mesiodens satisfies all the conditions to be a predictable, safe, and time-efficient technique. It has its limitations, mainly regarding the surgical skills of the operating team. The cone–beam computed tomography (CBCT) has a fundamental role in the diagnosis and treatment of included mesiodens. Full article
