Advances in Salivary and Oral Cavity Diagnostics, Molecular Mechanisms, and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

The availability of high-throughput technologies has led to significant advances in salivary and oral cavity diagnostics and in our understanding of molecular mechanisms and treatment. In recent decades, oral and salivary diagnostics and treatment have witnessed a transformation from conventional approaches to a more molecular-oriented perspective. This includes multi-omics approaches, including genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, microarray techniques, next-generation sequencing, and other omics technologies. Numerous studies have advanced our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the development of oral and salivary pathologies, elucidating pathways that impact the response to treatment, and facilitating the creation of novel methodologies and treatments for prevention and management.

This open access Special Issue will bring together original research and review articles on advances in salivary and oral cavity diagnostics, molecular mechanisms and treatment. The primary aim is to facilitate the open and collaborative sharing of notable contributions in the realm of oral and salivary diagnostics and treatment, and potentially promote the innovation of novel molecular diagnostic techniques and precision-targeted treatments.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
