Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Prosthesis invites original research and reviews on cutting-edge prosthodontics across fixed, removable, and implant-supported rehabilitation, with a focus on the synergy between biomimetic material science and end-to-end digital workflows. Topics of interest include CAD/CAM, 3D printing, guided planning, AI-assisted diagnostics, digital occlusion and smile analysis; next-generation zirconia, hybrid ceramics, PEEK/PEKK, and advanced adhesive protocols; full-arch and immediate loading strategies; peri-implant soft-tissue management; therapeutic provisionals; and maintenance pathways and complication prevention. We particularly welcome studies reporting robust clinical and functional outcomes (survival, complications, masticatory performance), patient-reported outcomes (aesthetics, comfort, quality of life), cost-effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. Eligible submissions include original articles, clinical trials, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, well-designed case series, technical notes, and reproducible digital workflow reports.
