Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to promote molecular and pathophysiological research in the field of oral health and diseases, aiming for better treatment approaches.
We all know that the health of the oral cavity plays a crucial role in maintaining an equilibrium concerning the overall health of patients. Nowadays, there is a strong focus on oral health issues, particularly their prevention. Oral health varies throughout life, but it is imperative to recognize its connection to general health. In addition to serving essential functions such as eating, breathing, speaking, and the ability to socialize, oral health contributes significantly to fostering self-confidence, thereby acquiring psychosocial dimensions.
In recent years, research in this field has been directed towards gaining a more profound understanding of the molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying oral cavity conditions. Comprehensive knowledge and reevaluation of both the molecular mechanisms that contribute to good oral health and those contributing to the development of oral diseases are essential for more effective prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these conditions.
It is worth noting that progress in this direction necessitates the sustained involvement of specialists from various fields, including physiopathology, biochemistry, microbiology, and dentistry, as research teams.
Thus, both original and review papers that respect the topic of this Special Issue are welcome to be submitted.

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.
