Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, various materials have been used in dental practice. Both in dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery, they play a decisive role in the success of the treatment. In practice, certain trends have become established and well accepted in their application. In order to improve the quality of treatments and to avoid serious side effects, knowledge is needed about the application of new technologies, the short- and long-term interactions of them with oral tissues, and their biological effects. For this reason, in recent years, these materials have been scientifically investigated in numerous in vitro and in vivo studies and have had an impact on clinical treatments.

This Special Issue reviews some recent significant innovations applied in major branches of dentistry such as conservative dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery.

An excerpt of possible topics is listed below and can be added to:

  • Recent developments in dental and surgical technologies;
  • Actual developments in digital dentistry;
  • Advanced Biotechnologies in the treatment of cervical dentinhypersensitivity;
  • Advanced Biotechnologies in endodontics;
  • Advanced Biotechnologiesand clinical results using adhesive materials in dentistry;
  • The influence of tumor therapeutic radiotherapy in the head/neck region on dental materials and oral tissues.

It is, therefore, my pleasure to invite you to submit research on these topics in the form of original papers, reviews or clinically useful diagnostic approaches.

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.

Complications that can occur in the postoperative period of impacted lower third molar extraction are factors that have an impact on the daily routine of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polybutester and polypropylene sutures on postoperative complications after impacted lower third molar surgery. Two different suture materials were used in the 35 patients with bilateral impacted lower third molars included in the study: polybutester sutures in group 1 and polypropylene sutures in group 2. Measurements were taken to evaluate swelling and trismus before surgery and on the 2nd and 7th days after surgery, and pain was evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS), which patients were asked to complete after surgery. Wound healing, suture-related injury and suture-related discomfort in patients were also evaluated. The pain and suture-related discomfort felt on the side where the polybutester suture was used was less on the second postoperative day than on the side where the polypropylene suture was used. These results support the use of polybutester sutures in impacted third molar surgery. Full article

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preceded tumor therapeutic irradiation on the tensile bond strength of three modern universal adhesives applied in self-etch mode on dentin. Specimens prepared from 135 extracted human third molars were divided into three superior groups. These received either no radiation, 5 Gy, or a total dose of 60 Gy in vitro irradiation, fractionally applied. The samples of each group were further randomly assigned to six subgroups to test three adhesives (Futurabond® U, Voco; AdheSE® Universal Ivoclar Vivadent; Xeno® Select, Dentsply Sirona) in the self-etch application mode (n = 15). Tensile bond strength was determined using a universal testing machine (1.0 mm/min). Data were analyzed with ANOVA (p < 0.01) and Tukey’s test (p < 0.05). The influence of irradiation on the microtensile bond strength of the used dentin adhesives proved to be significant. For each material, a decrease in adhesion value was registered after irradiation. However, only for the material Xeno® Select were significantly reduced adhesion values determined after irradiation with 60 Gy compared to 0 Gy. Within the limitations of an in vitro study, some effects of tumor therapeutic irradiation of human dentin on the tensile bond strength of universal adhesives used in self-etch mode could be observed. Those decreases were only partly significant, depending on the material and the radiation dose. Whether the tensile bond strength on irradiated dentin depends on the particular application mode (etch-and-rinse vs. self-etch) of the universal adhesives remains to be investigated. Full article
