Clinical Advances in Cosmetic Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

Predictable is a term used when you are certain that something can be predicted before it happens. In science, the use of this word is the objective sought by many scientists who seek to argue the whys and wherefores of their research. Extrapolating this situation to the dental clinic, dentists always try to find a predictable treatment for our patients, but this does not always happen. Dental treatments must meet a series of objectives: restore health, recover function, and achieve aesthetics. Aesthetics is currently a very important parameter in patient treatment. Due to the development of the industry, the incorporation of new restorative materials, the advancement of digital procedures, and the change in mentality of our society, the development of cosmetic dentistry is booming. The objectives of this Special Edition are the presentation of new restorative protocols with minimal intervention, fixed prosthesis treatments with aesthetic results for both teeth and implants, peri-prosthetic treatments with health results and gingival harmony, basic and surgical periodontal treatment to achieve gingival aesthetics, new tooth whitening therapies, treatment of developmental defects of the tooth, behavior analysis of new prosthodontic materials, and orthodontic treatment in improving the aesthetics of the smile.

The scope of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of recent advances in the field of aesthetic dentistry. Researchers in this field are therefore encouraged to submit an original article or review to this Special Issue (case reports and short reviews will not be accepted).
