Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to the forthcoming Special Issue “Novel Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approaches in Temporomandibular Disorders and Myofascial Pain”, for the journal Life (IF: 3.251).
This Special Issue will cover a diverse scope of topics, from diagnostics to the management of temporomandibular disorders and myofascial pain, with a special focus on innovations in those areas. Intense research progress in the subject as well as technological development, access to knowledge, and novel digital tools allow developing more precise, reproducible, and dedicated diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. We are thrilled to hear about new tools and equipment assisting the diagnostic and treatment process, innovative therapeutic methods, new substances and medications used, as well as novel modifications of already widely used methods.
We encourage you to submit your work to this Special Issue to help to summarize and develop this field of research to further assist dental practitioners and researchers in providing the latest, best possible treatments for our patients.
