Innovative Advanced Materials in Prosthodontics

Dear Colleagues,

Dental prosthesis is an artifact used to replace the original, lost or compromised, tooth for functional and/or aesthetic reasons. Thanks to the advent of new technologies, it is now possible to offer prostheses and therefore rehabilitations that are increasingly technologically advanced and built with the safest and most advanced materials. The care taken in the design and construction of a dental prosthesis with the help of advanced technologies is aimed at improving quality of life because a dental prosthesis improves and obviously facilitates chewing but is also effective in producing an aesthetic improvement. Developments in the field of dentistry and correct education in the prevention of decay and care of one’s dental apparatus are some of the elements that lead to the prolonged conservation of natural teeth. However, medical advances and better quality of life mean that an increasing number of people reach an advanced age, which makes it necessary to implant a dental prosthesis due to periodontal compromise that causes inevitable edentulism. The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote research on oral rehabilitations, including all types of prosthetic, fixed, removable, implant-supported, mucosal or mixed support rehabilitations. Of particular significance are the originality of the technique and of the materials and their biomechanical features.
