Advances in Restorative Dentistry: Materials and Computerized Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to investigate the current available state of the art in Restorative Dentistry and new dental technologies, both from researchers and clinicians’ points of view.

This Special Issue covers a variety of areas of Restorative Dentistry as below, but not limited to these. First of all, the indirect restorative manufact could be revealed by an intraoral scanner instead of the traditional dental impression. Dental technician could prepare the manufact digitally and then print. 3D printer also offers the possibility to make more than one proof, before preparing the definitive one, in order to deliver the best outcome to the patients. 

Nowadays new materials currently available give a chance to have a final product that is similar to the original tooth, both for aesthetics and mechanical proprieties: this is the other aspect for which this special issue welcomes contributions.
