Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our utmost pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to one of the most current topics in dentistry: “Diagnostics”, which is a critical step in patient treatment

This Special Issue will address the most recent and significant innovations in the dental field, with particular focus on multidisciplinary factors, technological advancements, and state-of-the-art research, and their involvement in oral health and in clinical dentistry practice. Modern technology has enabled accurate diagnosis and an optimal treatment plan for many patients; however, diagnostic breakthroughs remain critically important in all branches of dentistry, from conservative dentistry to prosthetics, surgery, orthodontics and endodontics.

This Special Issue will unite different communities and publish research of a high caliber, which will be beneficial to a range of healthcare professionals. Original research articles, clinical articles, and reviews are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Aim: The aim of this retrospective study is to explore the introduction of edible spread cream and small candies as tools to improve motivation and compliance in young children undergoing myofunctional therapy, with the purpose of optimizing oral functions, including swallowing. Methods: Six patients, one female and five males, between the ages of 7 and 14 years, presenting with atypical swallowing, were evaluated and treated at the clinic of the University of L’Aquila. The patients included in the study were randomly divided into two groups and were treated with two different treatment protocols: Group A: traditional myofunctional therapy and traditional tools; Group B: same exercises as group A, but with edible tools (spreadable cream and small candies). Results: As expected, the two patients who used edible tools demonstrated increased motivation and collaboration during myofunctional therapy. Conclusions: Patient compliance, especially in very young patients, limits the effectiveness of myofunctional therapy; therefore, creative solutions are needed to achieve greater cooperation, and edible tools can play a significant part in retraining correct swallowing. Although the sample of this pilot study is small, the results suggest that using actual edible tools in myofunctional therapy could increase compliance and provide better results in myofunctional therapy.
