Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to a Special Issue, entitled “New Materials and Techniques in Restorative Dentistry”. For this Special Issue, we would like you to submit studies and findings which contribute to improving our understanding of today’s various options for the aesthetic and functional restoration of teeth. This Special Issue will focus on digital technologies and materials that can provide more precise, conservative, and predictable treatment options.
Nowadays, the evolution of materials and technologies that are constantly added to the therapeutic options can create confusion among dental practitioners. In order to make an appropriate selection for each clinical case, extensive research is needed, especially in the form of clinical studies that can provide accurate data for improving the longevity of restorations fabricated with different digital technologies and materials.
This Special Issue aims to focus on in vivo and in vitro studies of digitally manufactured and minimally invasive tooth restorations. The main advantages of the digital workflow to create minimally invasive restorations include higher efficiency and accuracy, simplified protocols, and reduced manufacturing time.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Intraoral scanning, strategy, and accuracy;
- Minimal invasive restorations (direct and indirect);
- CAD/CAM ceramic properties and advantages;
- 3D-printed materials.
