Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a Special Issue on Advanced Dental Materials and Appliances.
Materials Science is constantly developing in dentistry. In the last years, innovative techniques have been developed thanks to the introduction of new materials. On the other hand, characteristics of materials already in current use are still unknown and some materials could have new uses in the different branches of dentistry.
In addition, recent developments in the area of digital dentistry have revolutionised the workflow and manufacture of all dental branches. However, there is poor scientific evidence on the use of new technologies and digital appliances; hence, there is an absolute need for more research on this issue.
In this Special Issue, we invite research and recent advances in the fields of advanced dental materials. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.
