Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous investigation into dental technology has significantly impacted the traditional clinical workflow related to the diagnosis and formulation of treatment strategies. In this context, recently developed technologies and equipment have been introduced to enhance the diagnostic process, especially in the fields of orthodontics and oro-facial rehabilitation. The present Special Issue has been tailored to address in vivo and ex vivo studies proposing and assessing innovative technologies supporting the diagnosis and treatment plan strategies for orthodontic and oral rehabilitation treatments. This encompasses digital equipment, CAD/CAM technologies, robotics, artificial intelligence, intraoral and facial scans, and modern radiology, designed for functional and aesthetic facial and dental rehabilitations. We invite interventional studies that seek to advance current knowledge on novel techniques and advances in orthodontics. Studies employing innovative approaches or presenting new information will receive higher priority. Reviews, including those utilizing conceptual frameworks related to any of the aforementioned topics, are also highly encouraged.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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. Diagnostics 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.

CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) is an imaging investigation that provides three-dimensional (3D) images of craniofacial structures. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanical behavior of an orthodontic system where the lingual treatment technique was used in a 25-year-old female patient from whom a set of CBCT scans was used. CBCT images were processed through software programs such as Invesalius, Geomagic, and Solid Works, to create models containing virtual solids. These models were then imported into Ansys Workbench 2019 R3 (a finite element method software program) for successive simulations to generate displacement maps, deformations, stress distributions, and diagrams. We observed that in the lingual technique, the lowest force occurring on the maxillary teeth is at 1.1, while the highest force appears at 2.3. In the mandible, the lowest force occurs at 4.6, and the highest force at 3.1. The values of the forces and the results of the finite element method can represent a basis for the innovation of new orthodontic springs and also of bracket elements. Thus, by using new technologies, orthodontic practice can be significantly improved for the benefit of patients. Other virtual methods and techniques can be used in future studies, including the application of virtual reality for orthodontic diagnosis. Full article
