Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental materials are man-made materials that are used in dentistry to restore or replace tooth structures to maintain or improve the quality of life of dental patients. Dental materials can be classified as restorative materials, preventive materials, and auxiliary materials, and their characteristics vary according to their intended purpose.
In recent years, with the development of dental materials, in addition to improvements in the basic properties—such as mechanical properties, hydrolysis resistance, color stability, etc.—of dental materials, many other functions such as antibacterial, protein repellent, self-healing, remineralization, etc., have been introduced into dental materials to meet the clinical requirements.
In this Special Issue, we intend to collect recent reports of advancements in functional dental materials. Research articles, review articles, and short communications related to this topic are welcome.
