New Frontier in Advanced Dentistry: CBCT, Intraoral Scanner, Sensors, and Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement of science and technology has brought innovation in the dental field. Both diagnosis and treatment have been dramatically changed by the evolution of imaging technology. Digital dentistry, which has become a big topic, is greatly correlated with the improvement of imaging technology. For example, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables 3D skeletal dental analysis for treatment plans in orthodontic, prosthesis, periodontal, and orthognathic surgery.  While the radiation dose is a fraction of medical spiral CT, it provides accurate enough information and further permits soft tissue and airway evaluation. The anatomical information and treatment outcome evaluation using CBCT allow establishing accurate, safe, and innovative treatment guidelines. Intraoral/extraoral/model scanning allows 3D simulation of dental treatment, and with 3D printers using these scanned data, we can fabricate therapeutic devices such as T-scans, electromyography, joint vibration analysis, and jaw tracking devices aid in dynamic analysis. The AI approach to 2D or 3D imaging technology is fundamentally changing the protocol of diagnosis in dentistry. Through this Special Issue, “New Frontiers in Advanced Dentistry: CBCT, Intraoral Scanners, Sensors, and Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry,” we would like to invite you all for discussion on the theory and practice of breakthrough sensing science that can help practitioners and patients throughout the dental field.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
