Current Challenges in Clinical Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

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

In dentistry, clinical practitioners commonly diagnose and treat various oral and craniofacial diseases in addition to using preventive dental practices. On the other hand,  numerous diseases remain challenging in terms of their protection and control. To practice patient-centered care, it is of great importance to obtain scientifically oriented information in clinical dentistry with the intention of continually expanding the dentist’s knowledge base.

This Special Issue aims to provide readers with insight into a new era of diagnosis and treatment in the dental field and inform them of new technologies and materials in pre-clinical and clinical dentistry that may make the impossible possible. We are willing to publish articles relevant to many related dental specialties. The essential requirement of this Special Issue is that all submitted articles include a challenging hypothesis, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
