Oral Microbiome and Oral Diseases: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

One of the most crucial discoveries of this century is represented through scientific findings pertaining to the role of the microbiome in the pathogenesis of several diseases. Research on this topic has introduced new perspectives, enabling the better understanding and management of systemic diseases, including dental diseases. In dentistry, the most important factor is related to the link between the oral microbiome and periodontal disease; moreover, many oral diseases require further investigation to elucidate their roles in determining the health or pathological status of an individual. The consequences of such research clearly correlate with the possibility of modulating the microbiome, and implementing disease management and prevention, with potential benefits for both oral and systemic health. Such progress exists in the context of personalized, multidisciplinary therapy.

Submissions will be pivotal in identifying and proposing new treatments and preventive strategies based on the rationale of modulating the microbiome.

This Special Issue will include published papers on the microbiome with a particular focus on oral health and diseases.
