Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The search for simplicity has always accompanied the history and evolution of modern adhesive dentistry. This led to the creation of simpler, user-friendly composites and adhesives over the years that enable easier procedures easier for clinicians, more comfort for patients, and an end goal to harness longevity. In contemporary dental materials research, new formulations are being continuously investigated, although it is generally difficult to reach clinical breakthroughs due to the variability of approaches and techniques being developed. Clinical translation often encounters issues.
As a common method of tooth restoration in modern dentistry, resin is widely used because of its natural appearance, strong adhesion, and easy operation. This Special Issue aims to bring together the application of new resins in dental restoration. We welcome articles and reviews in this field.
