Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The practical, contemporary, and evidence-based therapy/surgical approaches for treating periodontal and peri-implant tissues, including advanced forms of periodontal and peri-implant diseases and reconstructions, gingival recession, and complex cases requiring interdisciplinary management, are the most critical topic in this field. The research in this field focuses on the key points in periodontal therapy, i.e., diagnosis and prognosis, and presenting decision trees that can be useful in daily practice.
Articles on resective and/or regenerative techniques for the treatment of periodontitis/peri-implantitis and mucogingival surgical procedures for the management of soft tissue deficiencies will be considered for this Special Issue, which should describe and illustrate, in detail, cases that highlight important tips and tricks as well as potential difficulties and complications. Interdisciplinary care will be considered, which is of key importance when periodontal treatment is needed in cases requiring orthodontic, endodontic, oral rehabilitation, and restorative therapy. Advances in periodontal treatment and surgery are of value for practitioners at all levels of experience, as well as for students entering the field.
This Special Issue covers a large research field in periodontology, with a specific focus on research involving oral and periodontal surgery, biomaterials, and the management of oral disease, exposing diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcomes. Thus, clinical papers (RCT, CCT, case series, and case reports), systematic/narrative reviews, technical notes, and possible preclinical studies are all welcome.
