Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As declared by the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, conducted by the World Health Organization, ensuring equitable access to medical care through affordable and targeted treatments remains crucial for an ethical global healthcare system. From this perspective, 3D technologies are especially to focused on versatile polymers, which themselves represent one of the cheapest options to provide barriers, scaffolds, and customized missing anatomical parts.
In dentistry, the use of commercial polymers blended with osteoconductive materials, such as hydroxyapatite or β-Tricalcium phosphate, is increasing in demand, in order to have both an osteoconductive scaffold and a barrier in a single material both. In line with the broader goal of improving access to care, 3D printing offers the possibility of creating customized prosthetic and orthodontic treatments using various printable polymeric materials.
In this context, the aim of this Special Issue is to expand knowledge of these new materials combined with 3D printing technology in order to disseminate the newest contributions that support clinicians and researchers in their projects.
