Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, various materials have been used in dental practice. 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 dentin hypersensitivity;
- Advanced biotechnologies in endodontics;
- Advanced biotechnologies and 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.
Prof. Dr. Christian Ralf Gernhardt
