Current Trends in Implant Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

The field of implant dentistry is undergoing significant transformations, driven by the integration of advanced technologies and innovative approaches. This Special Issue, “Current Trends in Implant Dentistry”, will showcase research and insights into the evolving trends shaping our profession.

Today’s implantology is not just about placing implants; it is a comprehensive process that involves biological, technological, and procedural advancements. We invite submissions exploring the following areas:

1. Advancements in Implant Design

Investigations into surface modifications, new macro geometries, and material innovations will enhance osseointegration, ensure immediate loading, and reduce peri-implant complications.

2. Regenerative Techniques and Alternative Anchorage Solutions

Cutting-edge studies on bone regeneration materials and methods and innovative implant placement strategies in challenging anatomical conditions, such as zygomatic, pterygoid, and nasal implants for atrophic patients.

3. Technological Integration in Case Planning and Execution

Research into digital workflows, including 3D previsualization, craniofacial avatar reconstruction, and guided surgery (static and dynamic), to improve precision and patient-centred care.

We encourage submissions that address these trends from biological, procedural, and clinical perspectives, emphasizing the seamless integration of new materials and technologies to optimize patient outcomes.
