Clinical Applications for Dentistry and Oral Health

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, dentistry has increased its aspects of research and its cooperation with other disciplines. This Special Issue focuses on the most recent significant applied innovations in the dental field, focusing attention on technological and research aspects and how they can be involved in clinical practice. The applications of new biomaterials and technique can lead to a significant advance in all the main dental branches, such as restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, implantology, paediatric dentistry, and orthodontics.

The scope of this issue shall encompass the following aspects and their relationship with dental field:

• 3D printing techniques
• Intraoral scanners and impressions
• CAD/CAM applications
• Polymer science
• Dental Materials and applications
• Adhesives
• Mechanical strength of oral devices
• Conservative dentistry features
• Prosthodontic frameworks
• Orthodontic appliances
• Biofilm formation
• Microbiology of dental materials
• Oral Microbiome
• Oral engineering
• Fiber reinforced materials
• Nanomaterials and nanotechnology

For this purpose, we invite authors to submit original research articles and reviews to any of the topics mentioned above. Guest editors do hope that this Special Issue would be interesting for the readers of the journal and wish the present work to help both clinicians and researchers to understand modern applied sciences in the dental field.

Thank you in advance for your contribution.
