Precision Medicine in Dentistry and Oral Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Precision medicine is revolutionizing healthcare by shifting from a one-size-fits-all approach to personalized care strategies tailored to individual patient characteristics. In dentistry and oral surgery, this innovative model is driving significant advances in diagnosis, risk assessment, treatment planning, and long-term patient management. By integrating genetic, molecular, imaging, and digital data, precision approaches enable clinicians to make more accurate decisions and deliver more effective and predictable outcomes. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research and reviews that explore the current and emerging applications of precision medicine across all fields of dental and oral surgical practice. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that highlight clinical translation, technological innovation, and the challenges and opportunities in implementing precision-based strategies in daily practice.

The topics in this Special Issue include (but are not limited to) biomarker discovery, individualized treatment planning, AI and machine learning in diagnosis and prognosis, digital and 3D technologies, genomics and epigenetics, pharmacogenomics, risk stratification, and personalized surgical interventions.

High-quality research papers, clinical studies, review articles, and other types are welcome. We invite you to submit your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
