Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The latest advances applied to the design and manufacturing procedures of NiTi alloy endodontic files, based on novel metallurgical procedures and alloying elements capable of inducing changes on the microcrystalline structure of endodontic instruments, have their mechanical properties increasing the cutting efficiency and improving the cyclic fatigue resistance mechanical of NiTi alloy endodontic rotary and reciprocating files; in addition, it has also increased the mechanical disinfection of root canal system and reduced the incidence of intraoperative complications such as apical transport and root canal perforations. However, there are many tasks that must be resolved because a greater knowledge of the mechanical behavior of NiTi alloy endodontic files will allow greater control over the root canal treatment procedure. If you are currently engaged in state-of the-art research that involves any aspect of the root canal treatment, you are invited to contribute to this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
