Novel Research in Pediatric Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

Pediatric dentistry provides preventive and therapeutic oral health care for infants and children throughout adolescence, including those with special health care needs. Currently, early childhood caries (ECC) and molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) represent a major challenge. Despite improvements in efforts regarding dental health education, ECC is still a highly prevalent disease affecting millions of preschool children worldwide. Moreover, MIH—a common developmental dental condition—is becoming increasingly recognized.

The aim of this Special Issue is to focus on novel research in pediatric dentistry. Topics to be covered include the prevention and management of oral childhood diseases, as well as their impact on OHRQoL. We invite relevant original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and short communications covering the above-mentioned topics.
