Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Periodontal diseases are considered a wide variety of inflammatory conditions that affect the surrounding and supporting structures of the teeth (gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone). Left untreated, these may extend beyond the oral cavity and lead to numerous health consequences, both locally and systemically.
Thanks to the improved understanding of its pathogenesis, which involves the interaction between the dysbiosis of the commensal oral microbiota and the host immune defense, we can continuously improve the methods for the accurate and non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of periodontitis. Over the decades, there have been many new developments in these areas; nevertheless, there is a constant need to increase awareness in the community and find more effective tools for practitioners.
Given all the above, it is my pleasure to invite you to submit your work in the different fields of Dentistry, to highlight recent findings, and to develop approaches for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal conditions.
Prof. Dr. Timo Sorsa
Guest Editor
