Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the critical intersection between periodontal health and systemic diseases. Growing evidence underscores the impact of periodontal inflammation on conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. This issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these interactions, offering insights for clinicians and researchers alike.
We welcome submissions on the following:
- Mechanisms linking periodontal pathogens to systemic inflammation;
- Clinical evidence on periodontal treatment and systemic disease outcomes;
- Preventive approaches for at-risk populations;
- Interdisciplinary management strategies in implant-prosthetic rehabilitation.
Dr. Saverio Cosola
