Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Digitalization is a global phenomenon. Therefore, it also affecting clinical routines in dentistry. Nowadays, many procedures are carried out exclusively digitally. The use of specialized equipment and software that turns the oral cavity into quantifiable digital values is the revolution that dentists are experiencing.

Refined patient expectations, their desire for a thorough understanding of procedures, and the complexity of the issues that patients present in the office are forcing the dentist to personalize the patient's experience each visit. Digital tools allow the dentist to fully personalize every step of the treatment, from planning and using more image-based communication with the patient to the execution of the procedure. Personalizing by modifying standard treatment algorithms helps to increase the therapeutic success rate and is often the only way to treat a non-standard oral condition successfully.

In many areas of dentistry, such as orthodontics, dental surgery, prosthodontics, or endodontics, a number of state-of-the-art solutions are already available for accurate planning, the fabrication of devices, implants, or prosthetic restorations, as well as auxiliary tools such as insertion guides.

The world of digital dentistry deserves to be explored further, as the possibilities for implementing innovations in daily practice are endless. Therefore, the Editors invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue, especially those which focus on digitalization as a major source of innovation and treatment personalization in contemporary dentistry.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Background and Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of abutment angulation, types, and bone quality on fatigue performance in dental implant systems. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional models of maxillary 3-unit fixed implant-supported prostheses were analyzed. Abutments with different angles and types were used. Healthy bone (Hb) and resorbed bone (Rb) were used. Conducted on implants, a force of 150 N was applied obliquely, directed from the palatal to the buccal aspect, at a specific angle of 30 degrees. The stress distribution and fatigue performance were then evaluated considering the types of bone used and the angles of the three different abutments. The simulation aspect of the research was carried out utilizing Abaqus 2020 software. Results: In all models, fatigue strengths in healthy bone were higher than in resorbed bone. Maximum stress levels were seen in models with angled implants. In almost all models with resorbed bone, fatigue performances were slightly lower. Conclusions: Increasing the abutment angle has been shown to increase stress levels and decrease fatigue performance in the adjacent bone and along the implant–abutment interface. In general, implants applied to healthy bone were found to have a higher success rate. It has also been suggested that multiunit abutments have beneficial effects on stress distribution and fatigue performance compared to resin cemented abutments. The type or angle of abutment and the quality of the bone can lead to biomechanical changes that affect the force distribution within the bone structure surrounding the implant. Clinicians can influence the biomechanical environment of the implant site by varying the abutment angle and type to suit the condition of bone health, potentially affecting the long-term success of implant treatment.

Background: No systematic review or meta-analysis has been identified that provides a clinician’s perspective on the shade selection process for ceramic restorations. The aim of the present systematic review is to find and systematize the available knowledge by referring to the methods to assess the color of dental ceramics. Methods: The final search was performed on 10 December 2023 in six search engines. The keywords used in the search strategy were as follows: (“color matching” OR “shade matching” OR “color measurement” AND “porcelain” OR “dental ceramics”) AND “dentistry” AND “accuracy”. Results: The search strategy identified 139 potential articles. After the screening process, sixteen articles were included in the review. Conclusions: In conclusion, the most common method, the visual method, has lower accuracy and repeatability. Devices like spectrophotometers and colorimeters provide precise, repeatable, and objective measurements, but fail to be widely applied in everyday clinical practice. Clinicians should not rely solely on their senses for shade determination, but should turn to quantitative methods. Colorimetric devices connected to mobile applications are an interesting and useful tool. Software and apps based on artificial intelligence are emerging as promising tools, but they require further research. Full article
