Applied Simulation and Experiment Research in Dentistry

Simulation and experimental research in dentistry assess clinical solutions in unequivocal and comparable conditions.

In dentistry we ask the following questions:

• Is it safe?
• Is it better than others?
• Is it worth trying out?

Comparable conditions can be created in a computer simulation (finite element analysis – FEA), a physical in vitro experiment, but also in the oral cavity. Areas of interest for this Special Issue include the following:

• The influence of given manufacturing technologies, installation techniques, and exploitation in bulk and surface properties of materials and efficacy of dental solutions.
• Mechanical and thermal load distribution in dentures, implants, fillings, and orthodontic appliances, as well as the answer of bone tissue, dentine, and enamel.
• The behavior of soft mucous membrane, periodontal ligaments, and temporomandibular joint discs.
• Mandible and maxillae biomechanics in the correct conditions and during dysfunctions, deformities and defect replacement.
• Friction and wear of appliances and tissues.
• Bone and teeth fracture analysis and treatment.
• Optical investigations in esthetics evaluation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
