Dental Restorative Materials: Current Development and Future Horizons

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the launch of this Special Issue, where we aim to publish cutting-edge scientific research that reflects the current state of the art in the field of dental restorative materials.

Nowadays, every aspect of dentistry is intrinsically connected to the continuous emergence of new materials, and clinical progress is linked with the enhancement of instruments, equipment, and materials. The innovation of modern dental materials has certainly encouraged clinical dentistry towards achievements without precedent.

The introduction and development of new dental materials have involved all dental disciplines, such as restorative dentistry, endodontics, prosthesis, orthodontics, and implantology. Unfortunately, this increase in productivity has not always been supported by valid scientific research, and therefore there is an urgent need for further studies in order to determine solid evidence for the efficacy of recently developed dental materials.

Therefore, I am pleased to announce a call for submissions to this Special Issue. I invite the submission of high-quality research articles, clinical studies, review articles, and case reports related to the current development and future horizons of dental materials in all fields of dentistry. Your contributions will play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of these materials and their impact on the practice of dentistry.

Prof. Dr. Vittorio Checchi
