Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental problems such as caries, periodontitis, tooth loss and many others affect millions of people worldwide negatively impacting on individuals life quality. Over the last few decades, a plethora of extremely different dental materials have been synthetized, functionalized and tested as it has been proved that their use has become a valid strategy to definitively solve severe dental problems. However, nowadays, dental materials are often required to possess increased safety, functionality and also aesthetic characteristics to meet basal and specific demands of patients. Thus, the development of high-performance materials definitely represents an ongoing challenge among scientists and researchers.
This Special Issue aims at stimulating the scientific community at large in spreading the knowledge regarding the fine-tuning of new dental materials and/or the improvement of already existing dental materials in order to ameliorate their performances and their functionality in in vitro, in vivo and clinical models, also focusing on the biological aspects and on the molecular pathways underling the material grafting.
