Current Challenges in Clinical Dentistry: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue entitled “Current Challenges in Clinical Dentistry: 2nd Edition”. This is a new edition; we published 14 papers in the first edition. For more details, please visit: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/L6B0IY0Z85.

The development of medical technology is rapidly advancing and all medical researchers and practitioners need to learn the latest techniques and acquire current knowledge, in order to achieve practical clinical ability.

In dentistry, clinical practitioners commonly diagnose and treat various oral and craniofacial diseases, in addition to carrying out preventive dental practices. However, the prevention and control of numerous diseases remain challenging. To practice patient-centered care, it is of great importance to obtain scientifically based information in clinical dentistry with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base.

This Special Issue ushers in a new era in dental diagnosis and treatment and aims at providing information on new technologies and materials in pre-clinical and clinical dentistry that can make the impossible possible. Contributions in the form of full papers, communications, or reviews on any dental specialty are encouraged but the essential requirement of this Special Issue is that all submitted articles include a challenging hypothesis, with significant positive and negative results both welcome.
