New Techniques, Materials and Technologies in Dentistry: Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Dentistry has experienced significant technical and technological advancements in recent years. These achievements have made it possible to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, plan treatments more precisely, improve the predictability and durability of certain treatments, make procedures safer and faster, and improve the patient experience and acceptance, among others.

Given the rate at which these advancements are unfolding, it is only imperative to launch a Special Issue that provides a platform for clinicians to share their insights and research, as well as help them to be aware of the latest breakthroughs in this field. Topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: new restorative materials, new regenerative materials, new surgical techniques, CAD-CAM systems, artificial intelligence in dentistry, robotics, and translational research. We encourage submissions of original in vivo or in vitro studies that describe new therapeutic approaches or materials, as well as reviews, from different fields of dentistry and related areas.
