Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oxygen- and nitrogen-free radicals have a beneficial effect on wound healing and immune response generation and exhibit antibacterial, antivirus and antifungus properties, which are extremely important in the treatment of the diseases of the head and neck area. On the other hand, excessive generation of oxygen/nitrogen-free radicals, while disturbing the balance between their production and neutralization, leads to oxidative damage of cellular proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. This pathological process is responsible for impairment of the tissue and organ function through its impact on gene expression and cell signaling pathways, growth, differentiation, proliferation, and cell apoptosis. The craniofacial area, including the oral cavity, is subjected to many environmental pro-oxidative factors, and ROS may be a byproduct of resin cements, lasers, endodontic and periodontological treatments, implant, bleaching, inflammation, and anticancer therapies in the head and neck area and many other techniques and therapeutic materials.
We kindly invite researchers to submit original research and review articles on the subject of redox balance and materials used in the treatment of craniofacial diseases, including those located in the oral cavity. Your publication in this Special Issue will allow for your research to be disseminated to a wide range of outstanding scientists.
Prof. Dr. Anna Zalewska

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
