Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Additive manufacturing, also know as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a technique used for stacking raw materials layer by layer in order to form the final object. In dentistry, 3D-printing technology has been applied to manufacture several dental devices such as surgical guides, dental splints, denture bases, provisional crowns, etc. Besides the development of the 3D printer, the development of the materials used in this technology is also crucial. In dentistry, the 3D-printable materials should possess sufficient mechanical properties, high accuracy, good environmental resistance, excellent biocompatibility, and so on.
In this Special Issue, we intend to collect recent reports of advancements in 3D-printable materials for dental application. Research articles, review articles, and short communications related to this topic are welcome.
Your submission is highly appreciated and would be valuable to this Special Issue.
Dr. Jingwei He
Guest Editor
