Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Laser Therapy in Oral and Dental Diseases", focuses on the application of laser technology in the field of oral and dental care. This collection of articles aims to explore and highlight the potential use of lasers in diagnosing, treating, and preventing various oral and dental conditions.
Laser therapy is emerging as a promising alternative, offering several advantages including minimal invasiveness, reduced pain, faster healing, and improved patient experience. This Special Issue also addresses the challenges and limitations associated with laser therapy, highlighting areas that require further research and development.
Different types of papers (reviews, trials, and case reports) are welcome. We encourage the submission of papers that are about the added value of laser therapy associated with clinical and other evaluations.
The following topics are suggested:
- Potential benefits of laser therapy in oral and dental diseases;
- Precision in targeting specific areas, bactericidal effects, and the ability to stimulate tissue regeneration;
- The adjunctive role of laser therapy in traditional therapies.
