Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern medicine encompasses technologies that not only enhance life expectancy but also improve overall quality of life. Additionally, it is now well-established that oral health and general health are interlinked in a bidirectional manner. As a result, maintaining good oral health and functionality positively impacts the overall well-being of the body. Furthermore, treatments involving the oral cavity must be tailored to meet the individual needs and characteristics of each patient.
Advances in diagnostic tools are being developed to facilitate the rapid detection of oral diseases, including cancer, through minimally invasive techniques such as liquid biopsy using saliva. Saliva serves as a mirror of the entire body, reflecting various biomarkers of disease. Alongside this, personalized treatment approaches are emerging to minimize surgical morbidity. For example, in head and neck trauma, minimally invasive methods are being used with custom-designed plates generated by specialized software enhanced by artificial intelligence.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive foundation for these innovative personalized medicine approaches, which not only improve patient quality of life but also enable early disease detection and highlight the connection between oral health and overall systemic health.
Thus, we invite researchers to share their contributions with the scientific community through original research articles and reviews focusing on advancements in diagnostic tools, new treatment methods, and the relationship between oral diseases and general health conditions.
