Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Multiple pieces of evidence have long supported the existence of several multi-level interconnections between oral and general health status, being affected by genetic, neurobiological, nutritional, and metabolic factors, as well as by microbiome balance and immune-inflammatory reactivity. Therefore, a better comprehension of the etiopathogenic links between oral, dental, and periodontal conditions, on the one side, and systemic degenerative, inflammatory, and neoplastic disorders, along with systemically administered medications, on the other side, may pave the way for patient-centered preventive and therapeutic strategies, with personalized approaches.

Original studies, investigating interconnections between oral and general health and providing highlights on the putative mechanisms underlying such inter-relations, as well as reviews, perspectives, and communications, focused on a comprehensive and integrated management of oral and general health, are welcomed.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Cortisol has frequently been used as a stress marker, and the variation in cortisol levels in saliva and hair, as well as between males and females, has been reported. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the level of cortisol variation in hair and saliva among dental students of both genders. After giving written agreement, 151 students (79 males and 72 females) participated in the study. Saliva and hair samples were collected at two time intervals with a gap of three months from the same set of participants. Saliva and hair samples were utilized to measure the levels of cortisol using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Each participant’s salivary and hair cortisol levels and demographic information, including age and gender, were recorded. To examine group comparisons, two-tailed Student’s t-tests were used (α < 0.05). The comparisons of salivary and hair cortisol levels showed significant difference (p < 0.05) at two time intervals. Genderwise comparisons of the salivary and hair cortisol’s levels showed significant differences (p < 0.05) for male students, while, for female students, the comparisons showed non-significant differences (p > 0.05). Comparisons between the cortisol levels of the two specimen collections at the two different time intervals indicated substantial variations (p = 0.000). Results confirm the variations in the cortisol levels in the saliva and hair samples. Cortisol concentrations in hair and saliva at the two times points varied. Significant variations between the male students salivary and hair cortisol levels and non-significant differences between the cortisol levels for the female students at the two time points were found. Cortisol levels in the selected subjects’ saliva and hair samples varied. Full article

A plethora of systemic manifestations of COVID-19 and adverse reactions to COVID-19 vaccines have been described in pediatric subjects. Therefore, the present systematic review primarily aimed to assess the prevalence and macro-microscopic features of oral lesions following SARS-CoV-2 infection, grading primary oral lesions based on COVID-19 forms, in pediatric subjects. The secondary aim was to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical appearance, and histopathology of oral lesions following the WHO Emergency Use Listing approved and EMA authorized vaccines, in relation to cases and vaccine characteristics. The study protocol was compliant with the PRISMA statement and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022351821). Case reports, case series, and observational studies were electronically searched till 27 July 2022, on MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library databases, and the PROSPERO register. Data from nine studies describing oral lesions following viral infection and two records reporting oral lesions following vaccine administration, evaluated through the ROBINS-I tool for quality, were independently extracted and qualitatively synthesized, resulting in scarce, jeopardized, and incomplete findings. Since most of the rare lesions recorded were a part of broad-spectrum systemic disorders and syndromes and, thus. undetailed or nonspecific, further studies should assess oral lesions following SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination in pediatric subjects, considering novel viral variants and newly developing vaccines.
