This special issue belongs to the section “Applied Dentistry and Oral Sciences“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to this Special Issue on New Frontiers in Clinical Dental Materials.
Research in the dental field today is constantly evolving with the placing of new materials on the market. The researcher and the clinician must be aware of news but also of the principles and protocols that allow the best results in their use. Tissue bioconservation and adhesive systems have totally changed the clinician's way of thinking during clinical practice for the diversity of choices available to them. This Special Issue offers the possibility to researchers and clinicians to send their research and their studies on new dental materials and to share the results achieved in all fields of dentistry.
Studies with innovative approaches or providing original information are of higher priority.
In this regard, we are delighted to invite investigators to submit original research articles (trials, cohort studies, case-control, and cross-sectional studies), high-quality case reports, communication, and reviews (narrative or systematic reviews and meta-analyses) in the fields of interest around new dental materials.
Dr. Felice Femiano
Guest Editor
