Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dentistry, as a branch of medicine, has undergone continuous evolution over time. The scientific world has focused its attention on the development of new methods and materials with improved properties that meet the needs of patients. Many innovative techniques and materials have been developed in the field of dentistry. Dental materials represent a fundamental aspect of clinical dentistry, which uniquely employs almost all classes of materials in the restoration or replacement of diseased oral tissue. This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of research in dental materials for different applications in dentistry. Research articles including pure scientific research, applied research and clinical research, as well as review articles, are preferred.

Prof. Dr. John C. Mitchell
Guest Editor

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.

Glass fiber posts (GFP) have an elastic modulus that shares structural characteristics with dentin. Ineffective removal of the smear layer (SL) in the root canal after post space preparation reduces resin tag formation, compromising an efficient hybrid layer formation leading to a subsequent debonding. In this sense, this review article focuses on the published literature related to dentin conditioning for GFP placement with the use of acidic solutions such as EDTA, citric and maleic acid or prefabricated conditioning solutions such as MTAD and QMix, both with/without activation by sonic or laser devices, analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and/or push- out bond strength (POBS) test. The collected information suggested that the conditioning agent that showed better results for dentin conditioning increasing the bond strength of the GFP to the root canal is 17% EDTA without activation.
