Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral implantology has undergone a major revolution in the last two decades, especially in the areas of bone regeneration and prosthodontics. Thanks to the development of new techniques and biomaterials, it has become possible to place implants where it was previously impossible and to rehabilitate our patients in a more predictable manner and with better aesthetic results.
However, there are still possible improvements in all these aspects, since nowadays we find certain limitations regarding bone and tissue regeneration techniques and biomaterials, as well as regarding restorative materials.
Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to show the state of the art of studies on new techniques in bone regeneration and new biomaterials in oral implantology, as well as new restorative materials and their performance. Both research and review articles are welcome.
