Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent innovations in dental materials and technologies have significantly enhanced the precision, efficiency, and biological integration of restorative and endodontic treatments. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge contributions in the field of contemporary conservative and endodontic dentistry, with a focus on biomaterials, clinical protocols, and digital tools that improve long-term outcomes and provide patient-centered care.
We welcome the submission of original research articles, clinical studies, and review papers on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Advanced restorative and endodontic materials;
- Bioactive, bioceramic, and hydraulic-based cement;
- Adhesive systems and pulp vitality preservation techniques;
- Digital workflows and augmented reality in clinical dentistry;
- Micro-CT and SEM-based material analysis;
- Simplified clinical protocols for daily dental practice;
- Regenerative strategies and pulp tissue engineering.
This collection will promote interdisciplinary collaboration and highlight translational research that bridges the gap between material science and daily clinical application. This Special Issue will serve as a reference point for both researchers and clinicians interested in the future of restorative and endodontic materials.
Dr. Vincenzo Tosco
Guest Editor
