Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Significant improvement of medical imaging modalities has been seen in the last decade. Simultaneously, classical image-processing methods were challenged by the artificial-intelligence-based algorithms, providing similar—or frequently better—results than the currently used solutions. These technological improvements inspired the development of several novel medical diagnostic and treatment methods in the field of dental care.
This Special Issue intends to collect the most recent results in the area of dental diagnostics and treatment and the related technological and medical fields. Special attention will be given to the application of artificial-intelligence-based methods, including deep-learning solutions and convolutional neural networks. Comparison of the application of these techniques with traditional solutions is warmly welcome. Methods using geometrical models of bone structures and facilitating patient-specific treatment are also in accordance with the main focus of this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
