Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various dental diseases, such as periodontitis, dentinal hypersensitivity, caries, tooth defects and oral squamous carcinoma, have been serious headache for patients. Up to now, advanced polymer materials have shown great potential to realize the function restoration or tissue regeneration in dentistry, and thus make beautiful life for the patients.
In this special issue, synthesis, properties and applications of polymer-based materials in dentistry are welcomed. Original Research articles, Reviews, and Mini-Reviews on, but not limited to, the following topics can be included:
- Multi-component systems consisting of resin matrix and reinforcing inorganic fillers used for prosthetic dentistry.
- Biodegradable Polymers used for guided bone regeneration and dental tissue engineering.
- Biocompatible Polymers used for dentinal hypersensitivity and caries treatment.
- Antibacterial and immumodulatory polymers for periodontitis treatment.
