Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Building upon the success of the first edition of our Special Issue "Dental Care: Oral and Systemic Disease Prevention", we are pleased to announce the launch of its 2nd Edition. This new edition aims to further explore the complex interrelationship between oral health and systemic well-being, highlighting how preventative dental care can serve as a critical component in the early detection, management, and mitigation of systemic diseases.
Recent years have brought increased awareness of how oral diseases, particularly periodontitis, dental caries, and oral infections, are linked to conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and even neurodegenerative diseases. Simultaneously, systemic diseases and their treatments often manifest in the oral cavity, underscoring the need for integrated care models that bridge dentistry and general medicine.
This Special Issue welcomes interdisciplinary submissions (original research articles, systematic and narrative reviews) that investigate the role of dental health in systemic disease prevention, new diagnostic technologies including AI-assisted tools, and public health strategies promoting comprehensive oral-systemic care.
Dr. Kacper Nijakowski
Guest Editor
