Nutrition and Human Oral Health

Dear Colleagues,

The influence of nutrition on oral health has been given much more attention in recent times, contributing to a better understanding of cariogenic processes, periodontal inflammation, and dysbiosis of the microbiome. Research on this topic demands adequate methods for collecting or generating relevant data as well as for analyzing these data. Consequently, these aspects are the focus of this Special Issue.

This Special Issue welcomes manuscripts on:

• Methods to collect nutrition data of high quality e.g., tools for dietary intake measurements;
• Methods to determine aspects of oral health, e.g., oral microbiology, oral health status, oral and systemic inflammation;
• Data analytic approaches to investigate the relation between nutrition and oral health, e.g., machine learning and causal inference;
• Methods to take into account specific characteristics of the data, e.g., compositional data analysis or methods for high dimensional data.

We welcome different types of manuscripts, including suggestions for new methods, systematic investigations on existing methods, review and reflection papers, as well as case studies motivated by an interesting method or a novel application.
