Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental caries remains one of the most prevalent and challenging oral diseases worldwide, exerting a substantial burden on both patients and healthcare systems. While preventive dentistry has progressed considerably, key challenges persist in achieving early, precise diagnosis and truly personalized, effective management—especially among high-risk populations.
This Special Issue focuses on innovation in cariology, showcasing cutting-edge developments in diagnosis, prevention, and clinical management. We welcome original research, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and practice-based studies that explore novel diagnostic technologies, advanced biomaterials for minimally invasive dental treatment, AI-driven risk assessment, and transformative public health strategies for caries prevention and control.
Our goal is to highlight forward-thinking, clinically relevant research that bridges science and practice—fostering new paradigms in patient-centered dental care.
