New insights on Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Veterinary dentistry is one of the clinical specialties of veterinary medicine and has experienced greater attention in recent years. The interest in this area dates back more than 2000 years. The evolution of knowledge in this field is being materialized with the development of new ancillary exams for the diagnosis of dental and oral pathology, the innovation of therapeutic approaches, and recognition of the relationship between local disease and its systemic manifestations. Veterinary dentistry is primarily focused on companion animals, such as dogs, cats, and horses, but can include exotic, wild, and zoo species. Some animal models are considered adequate for investigating the disease in humans.

This Special Issue of Veterinary Sciences, “Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery”, is inviting original articles, brief communications, and reviews on oral and dental diseases in animals. We hope that this collection will stimulate closer collaboration between researchers in the veterinary and medical sciences in addressing this important topic.
