Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Advancements in Dental Prosthodontics: Bridging the Gap between Function and Aesthetics", delves into the latest breakthroughs and innovations in the field of prosthodontics. This collection of articles presents cutting-edge research and developments aimed at achieving the seamless integration of function and aesthetics in dental restorations.
This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics, including advancements in dental implant technology, both fixed and removable prosthodontics, and the application of digital dentistry and CAD/CAM technology in creating precise and natural-looking dental prostheses. It explores the challenges and solutions associated with achieving optimal oral rehabilitation for patients, taking into consideration factors such as occlusion and personalized analysis.
Moreover, this Special Issue investigates novel dental materials specifically designed for prosthodontic applications, discussing their mechanical reliability, longevity, and performance over time. It addresses the effect of degradation on the mechanical behavior of materials like Y-TZP ceramics, reinforced glass ceramics, and polymers and how grinding techniques may impact their performance.
One significant area explored in this Special Issue is the impact of 3D printing on dental prosthodontics. The use of 3D printing technology has revolutionized the field, allowing for precise and patient-specific dental restorations. This Special Issue features studies on the application of 3D printing in prosthodontic workflows, the development of biocompatible 3D printing materials, and the assessment of the mechanical properties of 3D-printed dental prostheses. Authors are invited to contribute WITH clinical and pre-clinical research, including articles, reviews, systematic reviews, brief reports, case reports, and communications that showcase their findings and insights on the various aspects of dental and medical prosthodontics.
Overall, this Special Issue brings together comprehensive research and insights from leading experts in the field of dental prosthodontics, offering valuable knowledge and advancements that will shape the future of functionally efficient and aesthetically pleasing dental restorations, ultimately improving the quality of life for dental patients worldwide.
