Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stomatognathic systems are an heterogenous anatomic apparatus consisting of radically different organs: teeth, bones forming the oral cavity, soft tissues (gingiva, mucosa, tongue, cheeks, lips), muscles involved in chewing and swallowing, salivary glands, and temporomandibular joints. Despite their differences, the pathologies of organs from the stomatognathic system share common characteristics, the most important of which is that they may be heavily linked to general health conditions. From reciprocal influences between periodontitis and diabetes and multiorgan pathologies such as lichen planus and oral/salivary gland cancer, multidisciplinary approaches are required or advised increasingly more often.
In recent years, the identification of novel molecular biomarkers and novel technologies has represented a boost for the stratification of patients in order to reach the individualization of the whole pathway of care. In order to maximize the effectiveness of this, this Special Issue has been conceived as a compendium of both the best clinical practice and promising future perspectives in the clinical and surgical management of stomatognathic diseases. We encourage authors to submit original articles (prospective studies and reviews will be preferred) using strong scientific methods which may thus represent a topical and immediately available guide for physicians for evidence-based approaches.
