Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern implantology is nowadays prone to several surgical and prosthetic issues that should be considered when implant-supported rehabilitation is approached.
Different methods for the achievement of a predictable outcome are actually available and depend on different treatment plans and clinical workflows. Furthermore, the choice of implants with specific biomechanical properties, just like prosthetic profiles and component framework materials, are crucial factors to investigate because conclusions available in the recent literature are unclear still. Different clinical conditions and aesthetic areas need different considerations, material selections, and approaches.
For these reasons, the subjects accepted in the present Special Issue will be those related to the aforementioned topics.
Specifically, implant placement, digital planning, digital workflow, implant connection, implant features, prosthetic components, materials for frameworks and veneering, soft tissues management, hard and soft tissues augmentation, surgical and prosthetic workflow, single crown, partial fixed dentures, full arch restorations, one abutment–one time.
