Scope

The Oral Infections section of Frontiers in Oral Health publishes cutting-edge fundamental and translational research across the field of oral microbiology and the associated oral infectious diseases. It encompasses their etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, via a microbiological prism. Areas covered by this section include, but are not limited to:

·       Immune and inflammatory responses

·       Proteomics, transcriptomics, next generation sequencing

·       Clinical oral microbiology and diagnostics

·       Oral disease and systemic health

Reports not covering microbial- or immune-related aspects of oral disease, or their connection to systemic conditions, do not fall within the scope of this section and should be submitted elsewhere. This section operates in close collaboration with other Frontiers Journals. Reports with a clinical dental/oral orientation, but not relating to microbiology or infection, may be considered by Frontiers in Dental Medicine. Reports with a microbiological or infection orientation, but not clearly relating to the oral domain may also be considered by Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology.
