Prevention and Management of Oral Diseases among Children

Dear Colleagues,

Good oral health is essential to maintaining overall health and wellbeing, particularly in children. Oral diseases, such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, malocclusion, and oral malignancies, can have severe and long-lasting impacts on a child's growth and development. Effective management of oral disease in children involves a multifaceted approach, including prevention, early detection, and treatment. Prevention is the key to avoiding these negative outcomes, and identifying effective prevention methods is crucial for improving the oral health and quality of life of future generations. Early detection and management of oral diseases efficiently minimises their progression and future complications.

To achieve this goal, clinicians, researchers, and public healthcare professionals must work together to develop effective management strategies for combatting oral diseases among children. This Special Issue invites researchers to submit papers about recent advances in the field of paediatric dentistry, covering subjects such as randomised or non-randomised trials, longitudinal or cross-sectional trials, clinical or laboratory studies, systematic or narrative reviews, and case reports. The goal is to investigate different approaches for preventing and managing oral diseases in children and identify effective strategies for promoting and maintaining good oral health in this population. By working together, we can significantly impact the health and wellbeing of future generations throughout their lives.

We now invite you to contribute your expertise and insights to our upcoming publication focused on the "Prevention and Management of Oral Diseases among Children". As advocates for children's health, we believe in the power of knowledge to make a lasting impact. Your valuable contributions can help us to disseminate essential information, strategies, and research findings to empower parents, caregivers, and dental professionals in safeguarding the oral health of children. Whether you possess useful clinical expertise, research findings, or practical advice based on your experiences, we encourage you to share your knowledge with our readers. Together, we can create a resource that promotes the well-being of children through effective preventive measures.
