Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the trends in dentistry tend to direct dental treatments towards more conservative and minimally invasive procedures. That said, endodontics and restorative sciences play major roles in the treatment plans and dental care currently provided to patients. These two areas have always complemented each other and should continue to do so in the future. In the field of endodontics, improvements in dental materials, such as reparative biomaterials or sealers, associated with new instruments, such as files manufactured using nickel–titanium heat treatments or new-generation ultrasonic tips or microscopes, and complemented with digital clinical and research techniques and tools, such as endodontics dynamic navigation, finite elements analysis or computer fluid dynamics, have given rise to improved treatment quality and outcomes. Similarly, multiple advancements have been made in restorative fields in the past decade. The introduction of new restorative materials and the incorporation of digital technologies, such as intra and extra-oral scanners or CAD/CAM technologies, have changed clinicians’ workflows and improved the standard of care provided to patients.
This Special Issue intends to give an overview of the latest advancements, tendencies and applications in multiple areas of endodontics and restorative fields. It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, in which both research papers and reviews with a focus on the following potential topics are welcome.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Novel dental applications;
- Advancements in endodontics and restorative technical procedures;
- New digital technologies and recent developments in dental care;
- Recent improvements in materials science with applications to both endodontics and oral rehabilitation;
- New concepts and historical and future perspectives in endodontics and restorative fields.
