Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral health is a fundamental component of general well-being, yet it remains one of the most neglected aspects of global healthcare. The burden of oral diseases—including dental caries, periodontal disease, and other conditions with oral manifestations—continues to rise worldwide, affecting quality of life and contributing to significant systemic health complications. Increasing evidence reveals strong bidirectional relationships between oral and systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, and autoimmune conditions. Despite these connections, the integration of oral medicine into broader healthcare systems remains limited, highlighting an urgent need for interdisciplinary research and preventive strategies.
This Special Issue aims to explore innovative approaches to oral care, prevention, and disease management, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis, minimally invasive treatments, and the role of biotechnology and personalized medicine in modern dentistry. Contributions are encouraged that address the mutual influence between oral and systemic health, novel diagnostic tools, preventive programs, and clinical interventions.
We invite researchers and clinicians to submit original research articles and reviews that advance our understanding of the interplay between oral and systemic diseases. By uniting diverse expertise across the fields of oral medicine, dentistry, and preventive healthcare, this Special Issue seeks to foster innovative strategies for achieving sustainable improvements in global oral health.
Dr. Fabio Piras
