Case Reports in Oral Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the commencement of a new Special Issue dedicated to “Case Reports in Oral Diseases”. This Special Issue aims to highlight unique, rare, and instructive clinical cases that offer valuable insights into the diagnosis, management, and understanding of oral and maxillofacial conditions.

Oral diseases are health conditions that affect the mouth and surrounding structures, including the teeth, gums, tongue, lips, jaw, and oral mucosa. These diseases can cause pain, discomfort, difficulty eating or speaking, and in severe cases can affect overall health. Many oral diseases are preventable and are often linked to poor oral hygiene, unhealthy diet, tobacco use, alcohol consumption, or infections.

Examples of oral diseases:

• Oral cancer—cancer that develops in the tissues of the mouth or throat; often linked to tobacco and alcohol use;
• Oral candidiasis (thrush)—a fungal infection in the mouth, common in elderly people or individuals with weakened immune systems;
• Aphthous ulcers (mouth ulcers)—painful sores inside the mouth that may result from stress, injury, or nutritional deficiencies;
• Halitosis (bad breath)—often caused by poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or infections in the mouth.

By showcasing well-documented case reports, we hope to foster clinical learning, support evidence-based practice, and encourage scholarly discussion within the dental and medical communities. We invite submissions that present novel findings, complex clinical presentations, interdisciplinary approaches, or innovative treatment strategies. High-quality images, clear diagnostic reasoning, and concise discussions on clinical implications are especially encouraged. We look forward to your contributions and to advancing knowledge in the field of oral health through this focused collection of impactful case reports.
