Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleague,
Within the wide field of dental research, oral and dental traumatology remain insufficiently and inorganically explored, even in relationships with sports activities. This issue affects at least 30% of the young and adult world population in its various aspects and causes many medical and social organization problems.
Particular attention should be paid to primary and secondary prevention, with particular attention to the adolescent and young adult age groups and, moreover, to the finalization and development of clear and organic therapeutic protocols that can mitigate the serious functional and aesthetic consequences that can be caused by a delay or an incomplete therapeutic approach.
For this Second Volume of the Special Issue, we wish to collect the best current contributions in this broad field of study, with particular focus on the treatment of lesions of the pulp and supporting tissues (avulsions and dislocations) and in the choice and adoption of effective protection systems (mouthguards ) to mitigate the consequences of such serious injuries at any age and condition of use (sport type). With these contributions, this Special Issue intends to update the state of research in the field of post-trauma rehabilitation therapies both from a periodontal and prosthetic implant point of view. Finally, it will address the influence of the oral bacterial flora in athletes in response to the aforementioned traumatic events.
