Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The digital revolution has changed the world, and dentistry has followed the same direction. The materials used for prosthodontics are increasingly focusing on making rehabilitations with an aesthetic as well as functional impact. In addition, the cementation of prosthetic restorations is influenced by the materials available to us. The mechanical properties of dental materials have allowed innovative prosthetic materials to enter the market, which, through appropriate technological processes, can be used for such purposes. CAD-CAM ceramics, zirconia, and lithium disilicates offer multiple advantages such as high aesthetic potential, excellent optical properties, outstanding mechanical properties, reliable consistency in accuracy and precision due to fabrication technologies, and more cost-effective manufacturing times. These improvements have greatly expanded restorative options in tooth- and implant-supported prosthetics, as well as in implant-supported total dentures. Industry is working hard on innovative strategies to further improve the microstructural properties of these materials, along with the introduction of new manufacturing technologies. When developing materials in the biomedical field, one must always face difficulties related to the fact that, in this field of application, it is necessary to choose prosthetic materials that strictly adhere to high standards of safety and reliability. This Special Issue aims to collect original manuscripts related to new and innovative applications of innovative materials in total and fixed prosthetics in both dental and implant-supported prosthetics.

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. Dentistry Journal is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2000 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.
