Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue, "Contemporary Dentistry: Classical and Modern Approaches", explores the dynamic integration of time-tested dental practices with cutting-edge innovations that are shaping oral healthcare today. Dentistry is undergoing a rapid transformation, with digital technologies, novel biomaterials, and minimally invasive methods complementing traditional diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
We seek contributions that emphasize how classical approaches remain relevant while being enhanced by modern advances in prosthodontics, dental implantology, oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, restorative dentistry, endodontics and preventive care. Potential topics may also include the role of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, digital tools and 3D printing, regenerative therapies, advanced imaging, sustainability in dentistry, gerodontology, and patient-centered treatment planning, and innovative approaches in dental education.
This Special Issue places particular emphasis on bridging theory with clinical application, demonstrating how established foundations and emerging technologies can coexist to improve precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes. Our aim is to provide clinicians, researchers, and educators with comprehensive insights into the current and future landscape of dentistry while fostering collaboration and the exchange of knowledge across various disciplines.
We would like to invite you to contribute your work to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Horia Mihail Barbu
Guest Editor
