Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials, entitled "Recent Advancements in Restorative Dental Materials”. This Special Issue includes innovative research and clinical studies relating to various restorative dental materials.
Since dental amalgam was introduced, restorative dental materials have been continuously developing. Glass ionomer, composite resin, and ceramic are the products from passionate research; they represent a major portion of restorative dentistry. This Special Issue is willing to introduce valuable, creative studies in relation to various restorative materials.
Important areas of interest include the following:
- Various studies of restorative dental materials (glass ionomer, adhesive, composite resin, ceramics, cement, etc.).
- Mechanical properties.
- Biologic properties.
- Clinical studies that investigate the efficacy of restorative materials.
I believe that this Special Issue can deliver helpful information to researchers and clinicians. It will serve as a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers alike, fostering further advancements in restorative dentistry materials.
Dr. Duck-Su Kim
Guest Editor
