Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people throughout their lifetime, causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement, poor quality of life, and even death.
Based on the latest report of the Global Burden Disease (GBD 2019), oral diseases are considered amongst the disorders with the greatest age-standardized prevalence in the world.
The most frequent oral diseases are dental caries, periodontitis, oral potentially malignant disorders and cancers, oral manifestations of systemic disorders, infectious diseases, and oro-dental trauma.
Some of these diseases share common modifiable risk factors (such as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and an unhealthy diet) with other major noncommunicable diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes), which are linked in a reciprocal way with the development and progression of oral conditions.
Effective preventive strategies for most of the oral diseases mentioned above occur through the control of environmental, occupational, behavioral, and metabolic risk factors, especially using new technologies capable of identifying high-risk profiles of pathological progression.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge on the etiology and the prevention of the most prevalent oral diseases. New research papers, reviews, case reports, and conference papers are welcome in this Special Issue. Papers dealing with new protective approaches and/or risk assessment are also welcome. Other manuscript types accepted include methodological papers, position papers, brief reports, and commentaries.
We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines including exposure assessment science, epidemiology, intervention studies, risk and health impact assessment, and risk management.
