Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As one of the most popular restorative materials, polymer-based composites have been widely used in dentistry for nearly six decades. The ongoing enhancements of these materials have extended their indications for use and contributed to excellent clinical results in terms of aesthetics and function. However, it is clear from the literature that there are still limitations in the contemporary dental polymer-based composites, and therefore, there is a need to further improve the property of materials.
Based on these facts, this Special Issue is intended to cover the topic of dental polymer-based composites from the most recent research and development perspectives. It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. Research articles, review articles, and short communications are welcome.
Dr. Sufyan Garoushi
