Preventive Dentistry and Public Health

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Preventive dentistry is a crucial aspect of dental practice aimed at averting oral diseases and promoting overall oral health. The field of public health dentistry involves the implementation of community-based initiatives and policies designed to enhance oral health outcomes on a broader scale. This topic focuses on the latest advancements, strategies, and evidence-based practices in preventive dentistry and their significant impact on public health. Recent developments have highlighted the importance of integrating oral health with general health policies to ensure comprehensive healthcare delivery. Innovative preventive strategies, such as community dental health programs, fluoride applications, dental sealants, and educational initiatives, play a pivotal role in reducing the prevalence of oral diseases like dental caries, periodontal diseases, and oral cancers. This topic invites contributions from experts from around the globe, including reviews, original research articles, and case studies. We encourage submissions that explore various aspects of preventive dentistry and public health, including, but not limited to, the development of new preventive measures, implementation of community programs, interdisciplinary approaches, health promotion, and policy development. The insights and findings shared through this topic will be invaluable to healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers dedicated to improving oral health outcomes and quality of life.
