Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to investigate the current available state of the art in Restorative Dentistry and new dental technologies, both from researchers and clinicians’ points of view.

This Special Issue covers a variety of areas of Restorative Dentistry as below, but not limited to these. First of all, the indirect restorative manufact could be revealed by an intraoral scanner instead of the traditional dental impression. Dental technician could prepare the manufact digitally and then print. 3D printer also offers the possibility to make more than one proof, before preparing the definitive one, in order to deliver the best outcome to the patients. 

Nowadays new materials currently available give a chance to have a final product that is similar to the original tooth, both for aesthetics and mechanical proprieties: this is the other aspect for which this special issue welcomes contributions.

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.

The Effect of Brushing on Coffee Stainability of Ceramic Crowns Constructed from Repeatedly Processed Lithium Disilicate Ceramic Ingots: An In Vitro Study

Heat-pressed lithium disilicate (LDS)-based glass–ceramic ingots are widely used for the fabrication of dental restorations. Repressing or repeat processing the remaining parts of these ingots has been reported to not adversely affect their mechanical properties. However, there is not enough information on the stainability of crowns constructed from these repeated heat-processed LDS ceramic ingots. Seventy-two identical ceramic crowns were constructed from three different repeated heat-processed LDS ceramic ingots representing three groups (n = 24): E-max (Ivoclare), Lisi (GC), and Celtra (Dentsply Sirona). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups (n = 12) representing experimental (coffee) and control groups. Color changes were assessed according to the CIE L * a * b * system and measured initially, after coffee staining and after brushing. All groups were susceptible to staining; however, they showed different behaviors with respect to the three axes of the CIE L * a * b * system. In general, immersion in coffee followed by brushing decreased the staining of all tested ceramic crowns to the acceptability threshold of color change (ΔE = 2.7). Routine brushing of coffee-stained ceramic crowns made from repeatedly processed LDS, LDS-HDM, and ZLS ceramic ingots restored their color to clinically acceptable levels. Full article

A marginal fit of all-ceramic crowns is a prerequisite for the long-term clinical success of a dental restoration. Few in vivo studies have investigated the effect of the film thickness of various luting agents on vertical discrepancy. This in vivo study evaluated the influence of three luting cements on the occlusal vertical discrepancy of milled crowns using a complete digital workflow. Forty-three patients treated in a students’ clinic in Tel-Aviv University with 45 single posterior digitally prepared monolithic crowns were included in the study. The crowns were randomly divided into three groups using different resin luting agents: self-adhesive resin cement, resin-modified glass ionomer cement and adhesive resin cement. The crowns were intra-orally scanned before and after cementation. The two standard tessellation language (STL) files for each crown were superimposed using digital software, and between four and six measurements were made at the occlusal surface to demonstrate the occlusal and marginal discrepancies. One-way ANOVA (α = 0.05) was used. The vertical occlusal discrepancy ranged from 2 to 38 μm. The mean vertical discrepancy values were (µm): self-adhesive resin = 12.93 ± 4.74, resin-modified glass ionomer = 19.05 ± 4.60 and adhesive resin = 13.69 ± 5.17. There were significant differences between resin-modified and self-adhesive cement groups (p = 0.004), and between resin-modified and adhesive resin cement groups (p = 0.013). Distal marginal ridge measurements were significantly different between resin-modified glass ionomer cement and self-adhesive resin cement group (p < 0.001) and the adhesive resin cement group (p = 0.021). There were no significant differences between the discrepancy values at the two measurement points in the self-adhesive cement group (p = 0.377), nor the resin-modified glass ionomer group (p = 0.388), or the adhesive resin cement group (p = 0.905). The cementation procedure with various resin cements results in occlusal vertical discrepancies within standard clinical acceptability. Resin-modified glass ionomer cement produced more vertical discrepancy than adhesive and self-adhesive resin cements did. Full article
