Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials science has always been involved in the development of dentistry. At first, metals allowed a significant number of dental rehabilitations. Advances in ceramics and porcelains have always had a direct application in dental aesthetics. Likewise, the incorporation of rubber opened new avenues for dental prostheses, and, at the end of the last century, acid etching techniques allowed the incorporation of adhesion between different types of materials and the tooth, thus initiating the era of adhesive dentistry. Polymeric materials are no exception to all of these examples. Polymers have a wide application in different fields and dentistry is one of them, both in the field of adhesive dentistry, as well as in the manufacture of new splints for orthodontics, including dental implantology and materials that can be applied to oral surgery or conservative dentistry. This field is currently in continuous development, which more than justifies the opening of this Special Issue.

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. Polymers 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 2700 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.
