Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Scientific advances are very important for the health professions. New technologies in dentistry, for example, can make appointments faster and more comfortable for both the dentist and the patient, in addition to ensuring better results. This present Special Issue on new materials in dentistry is an opportunity for researchers of different materials, their academic staff and clinicians to present their latest findings. Today, dentistry shows remarkable potential to develop new materials, opening up interesting perspectives for clinical applications. The large and growing link between materials science and its clinical applicability of state-of-the-art materials allows professionals to implement new treatment modalities to benefit patients, bringing to light a new and very interesting cost–benefit ratio. It is a pleasure to invite you to submit your research to this Special Issue, comprising full articles, reviews and communications in any area of dentistry.

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.

Marginal adaptation and internal porosity characteristics of root-end filling materials are important factors determining their clinical performance. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the marginal adaptation to radicular dentin (interfacial void volume) and internal porosity volume of a novel mineral trioxide aggregate brand using micro-CT analysis. Ten extracted upper central incisors were selected, instrumented, and obturated. Roots were resected at the apical 3 mm, and root-end cavities were prepared ultrasonically and filled with Harvard MTA. SkyScan 1272 micro-CT equipment was used to scan the specimens at a resolution of 6 μm, and three-dimensional images were reconstructed. All volumetric porosity parameters of the tested material were calculated in absolute (mm3) and relative values (%), as follows: open porosity volume (OPV), closed porosity volume (CPV), and total porosity volume (TPV). The mean OPV and OPV% found for Harvard MTA were 0.0268 mm3 and 0.91%, respectively. The mean CPV and CPV% were 0.0283 mm3 and 0.94%, respectively. The TPV and TPV% were 0.0569 mm3 and 1.85%. There was no significant difference between the OPV% and CPV% (p < 0.05). In conclusion, when applied as a retrofilling material, Harvard MTA exhibited excellent marginal adaptation to the dentin with minimal interfacial voids and internal microporosity. Therefore, this new calcium silicate brand may be considered an efficient alternative to conventional products. Full article
