Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, progress in material sciences and digital technologies has enabled various advancements in all fields of dentistry, prompting several paradigm shifts, such as from retention to adhesion, from the absence of toxicity to regeneration, and from an analogue workflow to a digital workflow. This Topic calls for high-quality research articles and clinical studies on metallic, polymeric, ceramic, and composite biomaterials applied in the fields of restorative dentistry, endodontics, oral and maxillo-facial surgery, dental implantology, periodontology, and orthodontics. We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Topic on “Advances in Dental Materials” and we look forward to receiving your submissions.

This study presents a scanning electron microscopy analysis of a failed PEEK retainer in an orthodontic patient. After 15 months of use, the patient reported a gap opening between teeth 41 and 42. The PEEK retainer was removed and sent for electron microscope analysis. To investigate the failure, scanning electron microscopy was employed to assess the microstructure and composition of the retainer at various magnifications. These findings suggest that the failure of the PEEK retainer was multifaceted, implicating factors such as material defects, manufacturing flaws, inadequate design, environmental factors, and patient-related factors. In conclusion, this scanning electron microscopy analysis offers valuable insights into the failure mechanisms of PEEK retainers in orthodontic applications. Further research is necessary to explore preventive strategies and optimize the design and fabrication of PEEK retainers, minimizing the occurrence of failures in orthodontic practice. Full article
