Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in the technology of manufacturing new materials have enabled similar advancements in dentistry, allowing us to use new materials such as composites, adhesives, biocompatible canal fillings in endodontics, biological materials for pulp therapy, advanced dental ceramics and dental implants with augmentation techniques. Today's new materials are more advanced than older generations, and research has shown that they have better clinical features and longevity. Clinicians have many different materials and techniques to choose from in their daily practice, which can sometimes be a problem when making a decision in clinical work. Between a large number of different materials and various techniques in dentistry, the task of scientific journals is to thoroughly analyze them and publish facts about their best clinical use, examining their pros and cons so that clinicians know how to choose the best material and therapy for patients. It is imperative that evidence-based dentistry uses the synergy between the research/academic community and dentists in clinical work.
New modern materials in dentistry appear on the market every day, and progress is being made between each generation of developed materials, which show great success and better clinical characteristics.
Considering the large number of different materials and methods of treatment that we have at our disposal today, it is necessary to publish scientific papers demonstrating their success or failures. We encourage authors to publish clinical and laboratory research on dental materials and treatment methods to raise awareness about the best possible outcomes for us and patients.
Therefore, as a Guest Editor, I invite potential authors to submit scientific papers to our journal so that both our database can grow and they can included in meta-analyses or reviews, thus resulting in the greater dissemination of new information.
Prof. Dr. Walter Dukić
Guest Editor
