Pediatric Dental Restoration: Innovations in Treatment and Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The success of dental treatment depends not only on the knowledge and skills of the dentist but also on the materials and techniques used. In recent years, significant technological advances have led to the development of entirely new materials that improve treatment outcomes, as well as innovative techniques that support the dentist’s work. These include computer-based tools for treatment planning and decision-making, often incorporating artificial intelligence modules that assist clinicians in making choices and monitoring clinical decisions.

This Special Issue of the journal Children, entitled Pediatric Dental Restoration: Innovations in Treatment and Materials, is dedicated to presenting innovative research in this field. Topics of particular importance for this Special Issue include behavioral methods for addressing anxiety and dentophobia in young patients, novel dental materials and biomaterials, regeneration and therapies using biomaterials, digital technologies and artificial intelligence in pediatric dentistry, and clinical procedures and approaches that prioritize the comfort and cooperation of the child.

I invite you to submit original research articles devoted to innovative treatment methods for young patients, with particular emphasis on approaches for overcoming dental anxiety, the use of modern materials, and advanced techniques, including applications of artificial intelligence.
