Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, dental implantology has gained more and more ground in the rehabilitation of single elements or entire dental arches. Therefore, in the light of the new classification of peri-implant disease it is essential to have clinical protocols for maintenance, not only in case of inflammation, but also to have minimally invasive protocols that avoid the onset of the disease.
Therefore, when studying the variation of the oral microbiota in the implant patient, it is essential to know which professional and home aids can be used to reduce the incidence of mucositis, avoid the onset of peri-implantitis, and keep the prosthesis products intact, which are guarantors of long-term rehabilitation. An intact zirconia or lithic disilicate crown, by keeping its layer of glaze, makes it possible to avoid an excessive accumulation of bacterial biofilm and thus enables a constant maintenance of eubiosis.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the continuous evolution of prophylaxis systems, and to focus on new perspectives in this field.
We are happy to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- oral microbiota;
- implantology;
- prosthodontics;
- peri-implant mucositis;
- peri-implant disease;
- zirconia and lithium disilicate crowns;
- micro abrasive powders;
- minimally invasive instrumentation;
- laser;
- ozone;
- natural substances;
- gradual release gel.
