Advanced Dental Materials: From Design to Application
This special issue belongs to the section "Biomaterials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the development of dentistry, and thus of dental materials, is very fast. The expectations of patients and the demands of dentists are therefore increasing. Much effort is invested in the development and improvement of the properties of dental materials used in everyday practice. The aesthetic properties of the materials are very important, but so are their mechanical and physical properties, meaning that they can withstand the loads within a very dynamic environment—the oral cavity.
Therefore, the aim of this Special Edition on “Advanced Dental Materials: From Design to Application” is to present the results of the latest research on the properties of various materials: ceramic, acrylic resin and composite materials and dental alloys, and their application in the field of prosthodontics using analog and digital technologies—additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies.
As Guest Editors of the journal Materials, we would like to invite you to submit a research article, a review paper or a case report to the Special Issue "Advanced Dental Materials: From Design to Application“.
