Pathology in dentistry focuses on the study of diseases that affect the oral cavity and surrounding structures. It encompasses the identification, diagnosis, and understanding of various oral health conditions, including infections, inflammations, developmental abnormalities, and neoplastic (cancerous) growths. This branch of dentistry explores the underlying causes, mechanisms, and progression of oral diseases, emphasizing their impact on dental and overall health. Pathological conditions in dentistry range from common issues like dental caries (tooth decay) and periodontal diseases (gum diseases) to more complex conditions such as oral cancer, salivary gland disorders, and developmental anomalies of the teeth and jaws.
This Research Topic seeks research papers on various aspects related to the emerging field of precision medicine, dentistry, and oral health, covering different aspects of the basics of translational research, applied biology, and health promotion. The primary goal is to promote research in the field of oral diseases covering their clinical and pathological research aspects. The ultimate goal is to enhance patient's standard of care in the field of oral diseases.
We especially encourage the submission of interdisciplinary work and multi-country collaborative research. We welcome submissions of original research papers using different study designs and critical and relevant reviews, including case reports, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, methodological papers, and manuscripts that emphasize theoretical content. Themes of interest for this Research Topic include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Genome-wide association study investigating the risk loci in oral pathology;
2. Systematic review or meta-analysis on studies that explore the effects of genetics in oral diseases;
3. Studies that explore the interaction between genetic factors and all other possible causes, including oral pathogens, in the development of oral diseases;
4. Candidate gene study from biological experiments or clinical trials;
5. All studies that explore the causal link between oral diseases and systematic diseases.
Keywords:
Precision Medicine, Health Promotion, Translational Research, Preventive Medicine, Medicine and Dentistry, Oral Health and Clinical Microbiology, Biochemistry, Clinical Biochemistry and Molecular Clinical Biology, Bio-Medical Research, Cancer Research
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
