Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Novel Research in Pediatric Dentistry: 2nd Edition”. We published 9 papers in the first volume. For more details, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/XOV707XB74.
Pediatric dentistry provides preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children throughout adolescence, together with special health care needs. Early childhood caries (ECCs) and molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) represent a major challenge at the moment. Despite improvements in efforts regarding dental health education, ECCs is still a highly prevalent disease affecting millions of preschool children worldwide. Moreover, MIH—a common developmental dental condition—is increasingly recognized.
This Special Issue aims to focus on novel research in pediatric dentistry. Topics to be covered include the prevention and management of oral childhood diseases, as well as the impact on OHRQoL. We invite relevant original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and short communications covering the above-mentioned topics.
