Material Science in Endodontics

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to contemporary endodontic materials, the efficiency and effectiveness of modern clinical endodontics have seen remarkable advances. By using newly introduced endodontic materials, the clinical success rate and postoperative prognosis of primary endodontic treatment and retreatment via nonsurgical or surgical root canal treatments has increased substantially.

In the field of endodontics, lots of brand-new devices and materials, including apex locator integrated motors, ultrasonic devices, heat-treated root canal shaping instruments, bioceramic materials such as MTA (mineral trioxide aggregates), calcium silicate sealers, and intracanal medicaments have been introduced and studied for their properties and effectiveness. Further scientific studies are needed to collate clinically relevant evidence for these contemporary endodontic materials.

It is my pleasure to invite scientists and researchers to submit a manuscript for this Topic on “Material Science in Endodontics”. Full papers of original articles, communications, and review articles are all welcome.
