Oral Implantology: Current Aspects and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

Dental implantology has witnessed the development of multiple, increasingly more advanced techniques with the aim of improving the reliability of dental implants while reducing patient morbidity.

In particular, the biology of osseointegration has been extensively studied, and several chemical and physical implant surface treatments have been proposed, along with new surgical techniques encompassing even regenerative procedures. Moreover, the introduction of digitalization for both surgical and prosthetic planning has significantly changed the approach to clinical practice. Despite this evolution, several drawbacks are still present in the field of oral implantology, such as systemic conditions limiting the possibility of recurring implant surgery and the risk of developing peri-implant disease.

This Topic aims to highlight the continuous evolutions in oral implantology and to focus on new perspectives in this field.

We are pleased 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:

• Implantology
• Prosthodontics
• Oral and maxillofacial surgery
• Oral radiology
• Biomaterials
• Implant surface treatments
• Digital workflow
• Peri-implant mucositis
• Peri-implant disease
• Tissue regeneration

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
