Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue summarizes the latest developments in various aspects of dental clinical and surgical practice, highlighting new trends and consolidating best practices. The articles address a wide range of technical topics related to restorative dentistry, endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, implantology and orthognatodontics; the challenges of diagnosing, treatment planning, medication prescribing and managing special care patients and oral‒systemic interconnections; the exploration of newly introduced dental materials and biomaterials, including their properties, benefits, limitations and clinical applications; and new technologies in dental practice, including digital imaging, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD /CAM) and 3D printing.
Reviews and original articles investigating a wide range of topics, including newly introduced dental materials and biomaterials, technology in dental practice, oral‒systemic interconnections, management of patients with special needs, and oral and dental care, are welcomed.
