Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Periodontal health largely depends on active tissue and bone remodeling. Diverse stimuli, including chemical, thermal, mechanical, and periopathogenic stress, influence these remodeling processes. Non-communicable metabolic diseases such as obesity or diabetes, which are associated with a systemic imbalance, may impact underlying biological pathways. An increased risk of periodontal disease, such as periodontitis, has already been demonstrated for several metabolic disorders. However, elucidating systemic imbalance-induced changes in tissue and bone remodeling is particularly important regarding future patient-specific treatment alternatives. We are pleased to invite you to contribute an original research article or review to this Special Issue on the impact of systemic alterations on oral health. This Special Issue discusses current research on disease-associated changes in oral tissue and bone remodeling, with a specific focus on the cellular level, investigating the genetic causes and epigenetic adaptions of systemic imbalances.
The research areas associated with systemic imbalances may include but are not limited to the following: non‑communicable diseases (e.g., obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and others), alcoholism, drug consumption, aging, and mental health issues.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
