Novel Resin Composites and Biomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Since the development of resin composites and the acid etch technique, the possibilities for innovative use of adhesive materials in dentistry are expanding and almost unlimited. Resin composites have been widely used and play a key role in the minimal invasive treatment for dental caries. Moreover, advancements in materials science and technology has led to developments in the varieties of tooth-colored biomaterials such as fluoride-releasing hybrids, ceramics, and CAD/CAM materials. The improved biological, functional, and aesthetic properties of these materials result in favorable outcomes to satisfy the demands of patients and dentists.

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses recent progress in resin composites and other biomaterials from all aspects of their properties and applications, ranging from investigations into material characterization to in vitro and in vivo testing for the assessment of biological performance of these materials. Original regular papers or reviews are all welcome for this Special Issue.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit your article to this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your paper for the Special Issue “Novel Resin Composites and Biomaterials” of Materials.
