Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental enamel is the hardest substance in the human body. It acts as a barrier to protect the teeth from physical, thermal, and chemical forces. Dental erosion is a chemical condition characterized by the loss of mineralized tooth substance caused by acids of intrinsic or extrinsic origin, not derived from oral bacteria, while dental caries is a disease characterized by the demineralization of tooth tissues due to acids produced by oral bacteria in the biofilm in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates.
This Special Issue aims to discuss the symptoms and clinical presentation of dental erosion and caries and provide guidance on important strategies that can be used to prevent acid challenges and the loss or repair of tooth enamel.
Therefore, studies focusing on the prevention and control of erosion and caries are of particular interest. We are inviting relevant original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and short communications covering these topics.
