Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern implantology continues to evolve in line with the development and testing of new materials and their implementation. The implants themselves, as well as the biomaterials associated with bone augmentation and alveolar ridge preservation procedures, have greatly improved, offering more biocompatible and feasible solutions for hard and soft tissue. Thanks to the introduction of CAD-CAM technology, regenerative techniques are evolving and facilitating predictable results. With these changes, techniques that were once considered unpredictable are taking on a new status as valid tools that lead to reliable outcomes, and they can now be considered integral parts of the implantologist’s therapeutic arsenal.
This Special Issue outlines current developments and lines of research in the field of implantology and reconstructive surgery, and discusses the extent to which we have medium- and long-term scientific bases for integrating these advances into our daily clinical practice. All types of original articles will be welcome, including primary in vitro and animal research studies, patient studies, and secondary review studies. Case reports and brief communications addressing relevant topics will also be accepted.
