Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to this Special Issue, which focuses on the latest advancements in personalized cosmetic and restorative dentistry. In recent years, this field has seen remarkable growth, driven by innovative technologies and evolving techniques that enhance both the functionality and esthetics of dental care. Today, practitioners are equipped not only with advanced materials but also with digital tools that enable a more precise, patient-centered approach. This Special Issue brings together articles from leading experts, covering a broad spectrum of topics—from minimally invasive techniques, etc., to state-of-the-art digital workflows that streamline diagnosis and treatment.

In particular, we explore how these advancements are shaping outcomes in patient satisfaction and contributing to more sustainable, long-lasting results. Whether through direct bonding techniques, such as the refinement of CAD/CAM systems, or improved implant options, the opportunities to restore health and confidence to patients have never been more promising. We hope that this collection will serve as a valuable resource and inspires ongoing dialogue in this dynamic field, encouraging continuous progress for the benefit of patients and professionals alike.

Background: Precision medicine in periodontology seeks to individualize prevention, diagnosis, and treatment based on biological, genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. This approach addresses the limitations of standardized protocols, which often fail to consider patient-specific variability in disease susceptibility and progression. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42024593760). Searches were performed in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (2014–2025) using terms related to precision and personalized medicine in periodontology. Studies were screened based on predefined inclusion criteria, and risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS tool. Results: Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Diagnostic tools integrating biomarkers (e.g., IL-1β, salivary and GCF proteomics) and digital platforms (e.g., flowcharts and decision support systems) showed improved accuracy and early disease detection. Personalized treatments, including host-modulating therapies and customized antibiotics, improved clinical outcomes. Tailored preventive strategies based on genetic, systemic, and behavioral risk profiling reduced tooth loss and optimized care frequency. Conclusions: Precision periodontology enhances patient-centered care by integrating omics technologies, real-time diagnostics, and behavioral insights. This paradigm improves diagnostic precision, therapeutic outcomes, and long-term prevention, supporting its broader implementation in clinical practice. Full article
