Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Globally, oral diseases pose a serious threat to public health because they affect people of all ages and place a heavy strain on healthcare systems. Oral potentially malignant disorders, oral cancer, autoimmune diseases and various infections of the oral cavity are among these conditions. To avoid problems and enhance patient outcomes, oral disease diagnosis and care are crucial.
The field of oral illness detection and management has undergone a revolution due to the emergence of new technologies and diagnostic techniques. These developments have resulted in the discovery of new risk factors and biomarkers for oral disorders, enhanced imaging methods, and the creation of more efficient and individualised treatment modalities.
The enormous impact that oral diseases can have on a person's quality of life serves as a reminder of the significance of early detection and treatment of oral diseases. A person's ability to eat, speak, and interact socially can be hampered by poor oral health, which can also cause pain, discomfort, and embarrassment. Moreover, systemic health issues including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections can all be impacted by dental illnesses.
Advances in the diagnosis and treatment of oral disorders aim to increase the precision and efficacy of diagnosis, prevent and control oral diseases, and lessen their negative effects on patients' general health and wellbeing. The area of oral health is becoming more interdisciplinary with the development of new instruments and methods, including components of molecular biology, genetics, and microbiology, among others. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on patient-centred care, recognizing the unique needs and preferences of each individual. In summary, advances in oral disease diagnosis and management are critical for improving oral and overall health outcomes, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing quality of life.
