Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of oral biofilms as the main cause for oral and dental infections is well known. However, our knowledge on this topic needs to improve in order to obtain a complete understanding of the onset, molecular mechanisms, conditions which microorganisms adhere to biofilm, their specific and general roles and how to prevent and treat each one. This Special Issue invites researchers, clinicians and specialists in various fields of biological and health sciences to submit articles that discuss novel information and recent advances in oral biofilms. A plethora of methodologies are welcome, having molecular techniques as the mainstream, which can be entwined with basic, clinical or translational research, as well as solid reviews. With this Special Issue, we are confident that readers will be able to gauge the extent of situations in which molecular advances provide knowledge on how oral biofilms are formed or involved in oral diseases. The International Journal of Molecular Sciences invites you to join us on this journey towards molecular advances in oral biofilms. Since IJMS is a journal of molecular science, thus pure clinical studies will not be suitable for our journal. But clinical submissions with biomolecular experiments are welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
