New Perspectives in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

Scientific advances have made it possible to achieve highly predictable dental care. On the one hand, periodontal disease represents the sixth most widespread human disease, with approximately 35% of the world population affected by a form of periodontitis; it currently represents the main cause of the loss of dental elements. On the other hand, we know that the adequate control of inflammation associated with the achievement of excellent compliance by patients can stabilize the disease and allow the maintenance of teeth in the long term.

Similarly, osseointegrated implantology has extremely high success rates, so researchers can focus on the augmentation of hard tissues and soft tissues using tissue regeneration techniques specific to bone tissue and soft tissue augmentation techniques, with both autologous and heterologous grafts.

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.
