Polymers in Restorative Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

One of the most evolutionary fields in Dentistry is the area of dental materials. The development of polymer restorative materials produced aesthetic restorations with minimal cutbacks of dental tissue. The mixing of organic monomers with inorganic fine glass-reinforced fillers produced dental materials with strong, highly polished, durable aesthetic materials. In addition to the first-introduced polymer restorative materials, more choices were added to the armamentarium of the clinician. Flowable resin or packable resin composites, CAD/CAM resin and resin-ceramics blocks, and bulk fill resin composites were well adapted to the remaining dental tissues and, along with the adhesive systems, were able to provide dental restorations with high survival rates. Research on dental polymer materials and their application is a demanding field which will have an impact on their further development. This Special Issue aims to report on high-quality research on the recent progress of polymers in the field of Dentistry.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
