Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment of Dental Diseases and Temporomandibular Joints

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic is dedicated to sharing practical knowledge and clinical experience in the field of dentistry, with a particular focus on dental disorders and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) conditions. We welcome a broad range of contributions that reflect the real-world challenges, innovations, and therapeutic strategies encountered in daily medical–dental practice. We are especially interested in hands-on approaches, case-based insights, clinical workflows, treatment methodologies, and interdisciplinary perspectives that support the continuous development of orofacial care. Topics may include but are not limited to the management of TMJ dysfunctions, restorative techniques, prosthetics, oral surgery practices, and interdisciplinary treatments that bridge dental and medical care. While the main emphasis of this Topic is on practical clinical content, we also welcome articles that explore the application of diagnostic imaging—such as X-rays, CT, MRI, and ultrasound—when these methods contribute meaningfully to the diagnosis or management of dental and TMJ-related conditions. Such contributions will enrich the collection by supporting the exchange of knowledge between orofacial science and clinical practice. Furthermore, we encourage submissions that consider emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, as tools to support and enhance dental diagnostics, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making, which will be published in highly recognisable journals. We welcome original research, case reports, technical notes, reviews, and clinical guidelines that reflect the current state and future directions of orofacial medicine. We look forward to your valuable contributions and to building a collection that supports collaborative progress and shared expertise in improving dental and TMJ care.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
