About the Special lssue

In the forthcoming special issue titled "Oral Health Interconnections and Multidisciplinary Approaches," we aim to explore the intricate connections between oral health and systemic health, underscoring the emerging evidence that oral health is not an isolated aspect but deeply intertwined with overall health and well-being. This special issue seeks to gather a collection of high-quality research articles, reviews, and case studies that shed light on how oral health impacts and is impacted by other systemic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, among others.

Key Topics:

  • Epidemiological studies on the correlation between oral diseases and systemic health conditions.

  • Clinical research demonstrating the impact of oral health interventions on the management or prevention of systemic diseases.

  • Biological mechanisms underlying the links between oral health and systemic diseases, including microbial translocation, inflammation, and immune responses.

  • Technological innovations in diagnostics and treatment approaches that bridge dentistry with other medical fields.

  • Policy and public health perspectives on integrating oral health into general health guidelines and practices.

  • Case reports and reviews that provide insights into multidisciplinary management strategies for patients with concurrent oral and systemic health issues.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and practitioners from various disciplines, including dentistry, medicine, public health, and biomedical sciences, to contribute to this significant and expanding field of study. Submissions can include original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that contribute to our understanding of the complex relationship between oral health and systemic diseases, as well as highlight innovative multidisciplinary approaches for addressing these challenges. This special issue represents an excellent opportunity for authors to share their findings with a global audience, contribute to a growing body of evidence supporting the systemic implications of oral health, and highlight the importance of collaborative approaches in healthcare. We are particularly interested in contributions that not only detail the problems but also offer solutions, interventions, and policy recommendations that can be implemented in practice.
