Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Digital technologies have significantly changed the clinical approach to medicine and dentistry. Innovative operative techniques and restorative materials have paved the way to a significant active boost toward full digital workflows. Particularly, novel CAD/CAM dental materials offer numerous advantages such as excellent esthetic and optical properties, optimal mechanical resistance, and reliable accuracy and precision. They have widened the dental clinical scenario and have allowed for the introduction and use of innovative and less invasive restorative solutions in different fields of dentistry.

The introduction of intraoral scanners (IOSs) and advanced fabrication processes such as CAD/CAM restorations through CAD/CAM technologies and 3D printing has enabled the widening of innovative metal-free dental materials, offering the chance to substitute conventional metal frameworks and improving the biomimetic and esthetic outcomes of restorations and, most importantly, the comfort and wellness of patients.

The aim of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the state of the art of CAD–CAM and Bioactive Glass for Restorative and Prosthetic Dentistry, biomechanical and clinical studies, in vitro analyses for prosthetic and implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation, and their applications in different field of dentistry. The scope includes—but is not limited to—fundamental studies of related materials, structures, devices, and application issues. Both research and review articles are welcome.

Abstract
The clinical success of laminate veneers depends upon their marginal discrepancy (MD) and internal gap (IG). This study aims to compare and evaluate the MD, overall discrepancy (OD), absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD), and IG of 3D-printed (Varseosmile TrinQ and Varseosmile Crown Plus) and [...] Read more.
The clinical success of laminate veneers depends upon their marginal discrepancy (MD) and internal gap (IG). This study aims to compare and evaluate the MD, overall discrepancy (OD), absolute marginal discrepancy (AMD), and IG of 3D-printed (Varseosmile TrinQ and Varseosmile Crown Plus) and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-milled (Brilliant Crios) laminate veneers using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Thirty maxillary central incisors were prepared and divided randomly into three groups (n = 10). All teeth were scanned for veneer fabrication: Group PVT teeth with 3D-printed Varseosmile TrinQ, Group PVC teeth with 3D-printed Varseosmile Crown Plus, and Group BCM teeth with Brilliant Crios milled veneers. The specimens with respective veneers were scanned using CBCT, and the sectional images were measured for IG, MD, OD, and AMD. The mean values for MD recorded were 0.27, 0.31, and 0.40 for PVT, PVC, and BCM respectively). The mean values for IG recorded were as follows: PVT group—0.24, PVC group—0.28, and BCM group—0.39, and those for OD were as follows: PVT—0.22, PVC—0.32, and BCM—0.41. Intragroup significance was observed for IG and OD (p = 0.001). Findings revealed that milled veneers have a higher IG and MD than 3D-printed veneers, making them less clinically acceptable.

This narrative review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) milled, and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) titanium frameworks in hybrid denture prostheses. A structured PICO analysis and a review of ten publications were used to compare titanium frameworks for hybrid dentures made through milling, DMLS, and CAD-CAM milling. Prosthesis success, bone loss, patient satisfaction, framework fit, and biofilm adhesion were among the outcome indicators. The inclusion criteria included comparisons between DMLS and milled titanium frameworks, investigations of hybrid dentures with metal frameworks, and various study designs. The exclusion criteria included reviews, case reports, non-comparative research, and studies unrelated to hybrid dentures. A comprehensive search was performed up to December 2023 across PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Google Scholar, using terms such as CAD-CAM, dental implantation, dental prosthesis, bone loss, damaged maxilla/mandible, implant framework, and bone volume. Ten studies were available for the final analysis. These studies shed light on milled titanium framework’s relative effectiveness and characteristics versus DMLS for implant-supported hybrid dentures. This narrative analysis clarifies the critical roles of the CAD-CAM and DMLS frameworks in implant-supported hybrid dentures. Despite the significant benefits of both of these technologies, it is evident that more investigation is required to identify the optimal framework option for specific clinical scenarios, highlighting the importance of continuing research in this field.

Clinical outcomes of dental restorations depend primarily on the choice of materials used, and nowadays, dental CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design Computer-Aided Manufacturing) materials have strongly changed daily clinical practice. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze CAD-CAM dental materials according to their mechanical properties and in relation to their clinical applications. A literature review was performed on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Knowledge, and the Cochrane Library. Articles addressing at least one of the following topics regarding dental materials for CAD-CAM systems: manufacturers, mechanical features, materials’ composition, optical properties, clinical indications, and/or outcomes were included in the review. A flowchart was performed as described in the PRISMA guidelines. Among the 564 articles found, 63 were analyzed and evaluated. Within the limitations of this systematic review, it can be concluded that CAD-CAM materials present a wide range of clinical applications due to their improved mechanical properties. Specifically, in addition to materials that have been in use for a long time (such as feldspathic ceramics), resin block composites can also be used for permanent restorations. Full article
