Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last decades, dentistry has been pressed for the emergence of new and effective dental materials for different applications. In this field, dental researchers have been proposing innovative ideas for laboratory and clinical solutions. An extensive search in the scientific literature clearly shows good news in areas such as bioactive and antimicrobial restorative materials, adhesives with special abilities, new dental ceramics, and the development of more-effective implant systems and related materials as well. Irrespective of the outcomes reached until now, new proposals are still welcome to further improve the rate of success of dental clinical treatments. As Guest Editor of the Special Issue entitled “Advances in Dental Materials and Their Applications”, I cordially invite researchers to contribute their manuscripts (clinical and laboratory research and reviews) to this project.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

Abstract
This study aimed to formulate and characterize experimental dental adhesives charged with different concentrations of nanofillers. Different concentrations (0, 7.5 wt%, and 15 wt%) of nanosized silica (50 nm) were added to the bond of a two-bottle experimental etch-and-rinse adhesive system (EA0, EA7.5, [...] Read more.
This study aimed to formulate and characterize experimental dental adhesives charged with different concentrations of nanofillers. Different concentrations (0, 7.5 wt%, and 15 wt%) of nanosized silica (50 nm) were added to the bond of a two-bottle experimental etch-and-rinse adhesive system (EA0, EA7.5, and EA15). The following physicomechanical properties were evaluated: degree of conversion (DC%), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), flexural strength (FS), static modulus of elasticity (SME), dynamic modulus of elasticity (DME), and glass transition temperature (Tg). Marginal integrity (%MG) was evaluated in standardized class I cavities hybridized with the EAs and restored using two dental composites (CON-conventional and OBF-bulk-fill): EA0CON, EA7.5CON, EA15CON, EA0OBF, EA7.5OBF, and EA15OBF. Gap formation was measured in the occlusal and mesial tooth-restoration interfaces using a 3D laser confocal microscope. Microtensile bond strength (µTBS) was evaluated using dentin-composite beams (1 × 1 mm) obtained from restorations. Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). For DC% and Tg, EA15 < EA0 = EA7.5 (p < 0.05). For UTS, EA0 < EA7.5 < EA15. For FS, SME, and DME, EA0 < EA7.5 = EA15 (p < 0.05). For the gap formation analysis, there were statistical differences only for the conventional composite (EA0CON > EA7.5CON = EA15CON). The lowest values (p < 0.05) of µTBS were observed for the groups restored with EAs without inorganic content. In conclusion, charging dental adhesives with nanofillers may be a suitable strategy for improving their properties as well as their interaction with dental substrates. Full article

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the pre-application of dentin bonding agent and laser application on the prevention of tooth discoloration caused by (MTA) in the presence of blood. Fifty extracted human anterior teeth were prepared by standardizing root lengths to 10 mm and shaping root canals. Specimens were divided into five groups (n = 10) based on the treatment applied to the pulp chamber dentin wall: Group 1/no surface treatment; Group 2/Optibond FL; Group 3/Clearfil SE; Group 4/Optibond Universal adhesive application; Group 5/Nd:YAG laser application. Root canals were filled with fresh human blood below the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), followed by ProRoot MTA, and collagen barrier placement. Color changes were monitored using a spectrophotometer at 0, 7, 30, 90, and 180 days post MTA placement. Color differences (∆E) were calculated and analyzed using two-factor mixed-design ANOVA with Sidak adjustment at p = 0.05. The degree of coloration increased with time within each group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between Optibond FL and Optibond Universal within each time interval, or between Clearfill SE Bond and the control group (p > 0.05). When compared to the control group, the Nd YAG group exhibited the least degree of discoloration in all time intervals (p < 0.05). Although the Nd:YAG laser had promising results, none of the methods can guarantee a 100% prevention of discoloration resulting from tooth discoloration caused by MTA-blood contact. Full article
