Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Dental public health is an area of dentistry concerned with the evaluation of dental health needs and how the practice of dental healthcare meets those needs. Nevertheless, several aspects of dentistry are related to a number of topics impacting public health, such as community dentistry, dental hygiene, oral medicine, oral pathology, and preventive dentistry. The dental profession is committed to providing safe dental care, which is necessary for ensuring good general health, and aims to minimize risks and establish an open culture of patient safety, in which practitioners can learn from their own and others' experience.
The aim of this Special Issue is to stimulate worldwide researchers to share their most interesting and promising works. We aim to publish innovative results on several aspects of dentistry, management of dental treatments, approaches to oral sciences, and other similar topics related to various dental applications. With this purpose, original research articles, review articles, and significant preliminary communications are invited. We warmly welcome articles describing current research trends and future perspectives in dental sciences.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
-Community Dentistry
-Dental Materials
-Dental Hygiene
-Biomaterials
-Tissue engineering and scaffold
-Oral Medicine
-Oral Pathology
-Oral Surgery
-Implantology
-Pathology
-Physiology
-Preventive Dentistry
