Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dentistry is in a constant state of change and has developed very rapidly. This is especially true for the fields of endodontics and restorative dentistry, involving digitalization, 3D imaging, additive manufacturing processes, and much more. This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality original research articles, reviews, and technical notes related to innovative techniques in endodontics and restorative dentistry, such as outcome studies, studies on new restorative materials, endodontic anatomy studies, and research on static and dynamic navigation, to name a few.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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.

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes have been advocated as a potential treatment alternative to the established methods for root canal disinfection. As healing of periapical tissue is important in this context, the associated risk of host tissue damage was to be evaluated. Following in vitro cell culture experiments (HeLa cells), root canal treatment was performed in an animal trial comparing BDD electrode application and the currently used rinsing media with respect to cell viability and host tissue damage. Statistical analyses comparing the size of radiolucency were based on Kruskal-Wallis and Nemenyi’s All Pairs tests (α = 0.05). The direct application of BDD electrodes had a time-dependent effect on cell viability comparable to H2O2, NaOCl, and CHX application. In contrast to the chemical treatment, the effect of BDD electrodes was transient. Conventionally treated teeth and teeth additionally treated with BDD electrodes did not significantly differ from each other with respect to the size of the periapical radiolucency as observed radiographically (vertical p = 0.998 and horizontal p = 0.878) and histologically (vertical p = 0.940 and horizontal p = 0.862). While showing greater disinfection efficiency, the application of BDD electrodes for the electrochemical disinfection of root canals does not have a greater risk of host tissue damage compared to the conventional treatment.

The purpose of this ex vivo study was to determine the accuracy of template-based guided endodontics for access cavity preparation and root canal detection in posterior teeth. First, three maxillary and four mandibular models were constructed using 67 premolars and molars, with a total number of 135 main root canals. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and three-dimensional 3D surface scans of each model were performed and matched in order to plan access cavity preparation and design templates virtually. Template-guided access cavity preparation was then performed for each tooth, followed by postoperative CBCT scanning. Deviations between planned and prepared access cavities were measured after superimposition of the pre- and postoperative CBCT scans, and they were analyzed using descriptive and multivariate statistics. All root canals (135/135) were detected utilizing guided endodontics. The mean angle deviation was 1.4 degrees, and the mean deviations at the tip and base of the bur were 0.24–0.31 mm and 0.26–0.29 mm, respectively. This study demonstrated that guided endodontics is an accurate and predictable method for endodontic access cavity preparation in posterior teeth. Full article
