Advances in Dental Techniques and Restorative Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The great aesthetic demand of patients, the simplification of operative protocols and the need for the better physical and mechanical properties of materials have increased the use of technology in all disciplines of dentistry. Indeed, modern dentistry today offers clinicians a real solution, providing instruments and materials capable of simplifying and improving the quality of procedures, thus obtaining predictable and satisfactory results, even for the patient.

Restorative dentistry has traditionally focused on the use of dental materials to replace the infected tooth structure in the oral environment in order to restore physical function following tissue loss from disease processes. Therefore, this Special Issue will focus on new biomaterials and techniques to improve dental health. We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews and new dental techniques.

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. Materials 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.
