Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Orthodontic and dental treatment faces high esthetic and functional demands. Current research aims to improve patient health, appearance, and satisfaction. Novel equipment and materials have been lately developed to aid in successful orthodontic and dental therapy. Recent innovations in dental material science are associated with progress in digital techniques and software for diagnostic, treatment planning and therapy.

Orthodontic and dental treatment is associated with a wide range of materials and methods. Numerous novel products are commercially available and proposed for performing treatment procedures without evidence-based clinical guidelines. Thus, scientific studies referring to novel materials and techniques are of high interest both for scientists and clinicians.

The special issue aims to attract papers referring to the role of novel materials and techniques in the development of dental and orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

Papers (systematic reviews and original papers) are invited referring to mechanical properties of modern dental and orthodontic materials, the use of novel diagnostic and treatment methods, 3D analysis of orthodontic tooth movement, digital treatment planning.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Innovative approach to orthodontic diagnostics and treatment planning
  • Modern methods of detecting and treating dental caries
  • The use of intraoral scanners in conservative dentistry
  • Innovative methods of treating caries complications
  • Modern prevention in dentistry
  • The use of CBCT for orthodontic treatment planning
  • The use of 3D software for monitoring orthodontic treatment
  • Mechanical properties of dental and orthodontic materials

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.

(1) Background: The most important part of an orthodontic attachment (bracket or tube) is the tube or slot for the insertion of the orthodontic wire. Aligning teeth along the archwire according to angular values preadjusted in the bracket slots (or tubes) requires a very precise size accordance between the archwires and slots. The aim of this study was to perform a nanotomographic analysis of the geometric features of molar tubes for direct bonding in terms of their dimensions and angles of their inner walls and analyze the presence of metallurgic imperfections. (2) Methods: Orthodontic tubes (n = 100) for upper right first molars from five different manufacturers (3M-Victory Series, Adenta-Bond Sing, Dentaurum-Ortho Cast M, GC-L LP, and ORMCO-Accent), 20 tubes each, were subjected to nanotomographic analysis. Measurements of the inner channel of the tubes, angles between the walls, and analysis of metallurgic imperfections were performed using high-resolution computed tomography. (3) Results: height measurements differed by 4–14% from ideal values declared by manufacturers, whereas the angles ranged from reducing by a maximum 1% comparing to values declared (hypodivergent walls) to increasing by a maximum 4.5% (divergent walls). (4) Conclusions: 1. The sizes of channels measured were slightly larger than those declared by manufacturers. 2. Slight deviations in wall parallelism and angles between the walls were found. 3. Some tubes were characterized by manufacturing defects of the metal. 4. Efforts should be made to further improve the production process of orthodontic attachments. Full article
