10th Anniversary of Children: Pediatric Dentistry Progress

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have been developed in pediatric dentistry, meaning that researchers and clinicians must keep up with all the developments that are occurring in this field.

New technologies, as well as digital devices, are available to enhance the effectiveness of the diagnostic process and increase the spectrum of detectable pathologies, dimorphisms, and dysfunctions in the orofacial region in children.

The aim and scope of our Special Issue is to promote research in all aspects of pediatric dentistry, including interceptive orthodontics and studies on children and young adults with special needs.

Works on oral pathologies, orthodontic and orthopedic early treatments, maxillo-facial surgery, otolaryngology procedures, reconstructive dentistry as well as sleep apnea syndrome treatment will all be well received.

The Special Issue focuses on the publication and critical evaluation of clinical and basic science research. Studies with innovative approaches or providing original information are of higher priority.

In this regard, we are delighted to invite investigators to submit original research articles (trials, cohort studies, case–control and cross-sectional studies), high-quality case reports, communications and reviews (narrative or systematic reviews and meta-analyses) in accordance with the fields previously indicated.
