Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital technology is changing our practice every day, especially in prosthodontics, with 3D printers and scanners becoming an integral part of the routine workflow. Fixed dental prostheses are hard to imagine without CAD/CAM technology, both additive and subtractive, and the approach to removable complete and partial dentures has also evolved. The most recent literature describes many new protocols, materials, suggestions, and applications of digital technology in the fabrication of removable complete dentures.
Today’s rapid technological evolution makes it hard for both researchers and clinicians to keep up with the latest developments, and a lack of research poses potential challenges to integrating novel technologies in the custom workflow. The research process, which ends with manuscript publication, takes considerable time. Due to this unavoidable delay, the publication of independent studies will always somewhat lag behind the appearance of novel technologies and materials.
The upcoming Special Issue focuses on novel technologies and materials for removable complete denture fabrication and aims to provide a clinical and scientific update. We cordially invite all contributors to present new studies, systematic reviews, and narrative reviews focused on digital dentures.
Possible topics for this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Milled dentures;
- 3D-printed dentures;
- Occlusion;
- Virtual articulator;
- Digital impression;
- CAD/CAM denture materials;
- Acrylic resin;
- Polyamide resin;
- Denture teeth materials;
- Mechanical properties of digital denture materials;
- Occlusal splint;
- Digital denture fabrication protocol;
- Systematic reviews and meta-analysis.
