Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Medicine’s Editorial team, we are delighted to present the Second Edition of the Special Issue “Clinical Management of Oral Healthcare in Diverse Patient Populations” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/3XOR2178I6).
This Special Issue aims to explore the clinical management of oral healthcare in diverse patient populations, shedding light on the research status, core problems to be solved, and potential solutions within this field. Oral healthcare plays a crucial role in overall health and quality of life, and it is vital to address the unique challenges and considerations faced by diverse patient populations.
This Special Issue will focus on gathering research and insights related to the effective management of oral healthcare for individuals with varying needs, including but not limited to special needs patients, elderly individuals, medically compromised patients, and individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds. It seeks to explore evidence-based strategies, best practices, and innovative approaches that can improve oral healthcare outcomes and promote equitable access to quality care.
The scope of this Special Issue encompasses a wide range of topics, such as preventive measures, diagnostic techniques, treatment modalities, patient communication, interdisciplinary collaboration, and oral health promotion. It aims to encourage contributions from researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to address the existing gaps and identify barriers and to propose practical solutions for the clinical management of oral healthcare in diverse patient populations.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to mobilize the dental and healthcare community to foster a greater understanding of the challenges faced by diverse patient populations and facilitate the development of patient-centered approaches that promote optimal oral health outcomes for all individuals.
