Periodontology and Dental Implants: State of the Art and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Periodontology and dental implantology have undergone remarkable evolution over the past decades, driven by advances in biomaterials, regenerative strategies, digital technologies, and an improved understanding of host–microbe interactions. Today, the interplay between periodontal health and implant success is more evident than ever, with emerging concepts highlighting the critical role of precision diagnostics, personalized treatment planning, and long-term maintenance. Despite significant achievements, clinical and biological challenges remain, including peri-implant diseases, patient-specific risk factors, and the integration of new technologies into daily practice.

This proposed Special Issue, “Periodontology and Dental Implants: State of the Art and Future Perspectives”, aims to provide a comprehensive platform for disseminating cutting-edge research, critical reviews, and innovative clinical approaches in this rapidly advancing field. Contributions will address key topics such as tissue regeneration, implant surface modifications, digital workflows, risk assessment models, microbiome studies, and novel therapeutic strategies for peri-implantitis. By bridging basic science, clinical practice, and future innovations, this collection seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialog and stimulate new directions for research and patient care.

This Special Issue aspires to become a reference point for clinicians, researchers, and industry stakeholders, promoting evidence-based advancements and shaping the future of periodontology and implant dentistry.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
