Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

Since the introduction of lasers in dentistry, different fields have started to investigate the properties and advantages that this technology may offer. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, as well as hemostasis and bio-stimulation are only examples of the main properties that are currently reported in the literature, making lasers an interesting tool for daily clinical practice. In the field of oral surgery and oral pathology, the advantages of laser use include higher-precision tissue excision, reduced risk of postoperative pain and scar creation, and better disinfection of the surgical area.

However, even if different properties are already documented, further research is required to investigate all the potentials, as well as the limitations, that this technology may offer for clinical practice.  

The present Special Issue aims to collect and disseminate the most recent articles on the state of the art on the use of Lasers in Oral Pathology. Original research papers, in vivo and in vitro studies, reviews, and clinical reports are welcome for submission.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. 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. Diagnostics 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 2600 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.

Background: The objective of the study was to ascertain whether the alveolar bone and root of the mandibular central incisor measured from cephalograms can represent the same measurements of both mandibular central and lateral incisors from CBCT. Methods: A total of 38 sets of CBCT images and cephalograms before treatment were selected for this study. Thicknesses included alveolar bone, cortical bone, and cancellous bone at the labial and lingual sides. Root diameter and total root-bone thickness were also evaluated. The measurements were performed at 3, 6, and 9 mm from the cemento-enamel junction. Heights included labial bone height and lingual bone height. All measurements were performed on cephalograms and CBCT images of the mandibular central incisor (L1CT) and mandibular lateral incisor (L2CT). The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni tests (p < 0.01) to compare the cephalograms, L1CT, and L2CT. Results: The cephalograms presented thicker alveolar bone and cortical bone (labial: 0.16–0.31 mm, lingual: 0.14–0.29 mm; p < 0.001) as well as higher alveolar crest (labial: 0.46–0.48 mm, lingual: 0.38–0.39 mm; p < 0.001) than the CBCT images on both the labial and lingual sides, whereas lingual cancellous thicknesses were not significantly different (p = 0.257). The cephalograms presented greater total root-bone thicknesses than L1CT (0.19–0.30 mm; p < 0.001), whereas the cephalograms traced thinner roots than L1CT (0.18–0.23 mm; p < 0.001) and L2CT (0.39–0.59 mm; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Lateral cephalograms cannot represent both mandibular central and lateral incisor dentoalveolar thicknesses, heights, and root diameters the same as CBCT. However, the differences were less than 0.5 mm. Full article
