Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Special Issue on the “Treatment and Materials of Dental Restorations”.

With the ever-growing need for replacing damaged or missing tooth material, restorative treatments are part of everyday clinical practice. Nowadays, dental restorations are not only replacing hard dental tissues but also aiming to strengthen the remaining tooth structure. The development of restorative dental materials is aided by the rapid and constant development of digital technologies in dentistry. Computer-aided planning processes allow thorough planning and may provide more predictable treatment outcomes. Modern adhesive restorations can prolong the life of damaged, vital, or even root-canal-treated teeth. With the already-achieved developments in adhesion and the physical as well as aesthetic properties of direct and indirect dental restorative materials, clinicians are able to create stronger and durable restorations. Through this, teeth which in the past were considered unsavable are restored and kept in function for several years, improving the quality of life of patients.

The aim of this Special Issue is to gather the latest original research studies involving direct and indirect restorative techniques in the field of dentistry. We look forward to receiving your manuscripts concerning this field. Research articles, review articles, short communications, and case series regarding novel and justified restorative techniques are all welcome.

The surface roughness, surface free energy (SFE) of composites, and composite wettability by dental adhesives are determining factors in achieving a strong and durable adhesion (e.g., composite repair, luting adhesively bonded indirect restorations). In this study, the SFE of one nanohydrid and two bulk-fill composites was investigated in relation to the wetting ability of five different dental adhesives. The profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurement justified that the sandblasting produced a significantly rough surface in which the different filler amounts, filler distribution, and resin-filler ratio participated. The SFE of the tested composite was between 45.65 and 49.07 mJ/m2 regardless of surface treatment. Despite the similarity in SFE, the adhesives wet the surface of the composites in different ways that were between 16.01° and 35.10°. The contact angle of solvent-free dental adhesive was lower due to sandblasting supporting the micromechanical retention. Based on our results, it was found that sandblasting, the most frequently recommended surface treatment, does not change the surface energy but causes a change in the contact angle, which can be explained by the different surface tension of the dental adhesives. It was concluded that the dental adhesive parameters have a more important role in wettability. Full article

Disinfection of alginate impressions used in dental prosthetics is a very problematic procedure, during which the dimensions of the obtained model can change, and it can be easily mechanically damaged. Therefore, it would be beneficial to create a material with bacteriostatic properties for this application. In this work, we investigated alginate materials with the addition of 0.25–1.0 wt% of zirconium phosphate-based ion exchange resin containing silver and compared them with commercial alginate impression products. The obtained materials passed the normative requirements of ISO 21563:2021 (setting time, elastic recovery, strain in compression, compatibility with gypsum, detail reproduction, tearing strength, and linear dimensional change) as well as bacteriostatic properties in relation to Streptococcus mutans. The newly developed alginate materials met all the properties required by the standards. Their setting time was comparable to the commercial materials, and their 24 h contraction did not exceed 1.3%. Furthermore, the tearing strength was 0.42–0.48 MPa, less than that of the comparative commercial materials (0.52–0.56 MPa). From the point of view of clinical practice, it will be possible to create an alginate material with bacteriostatic properties that will prevent the transmission of cross-infections. Full article

The consequences of traumatic injuries are pulp necrosis, periapical inflammation, and possible external cervical resorption (ECR). The concomitant cessation of root maturation and dentinogenesis in premature teeth result in a fragile tooth. Revascularization of the pulp might be an alternative treatment option. A 12-year-old patient was referred for retreatment of chronic apical periodontitis with acute exacerbation after root canal treatment of an upper central incisor. During gutta-percha removal, an ECR was detected. First, it was closed internally with Biodentine, followed by an external composite closure after a cone beam computed tomography evaluation. In the first session, chemomechanical cleaning was aided with sodium hypochlorite and hyperpure chlorine dioxide, and the canal was dressed with Ca(OH)2 until the next session. In the next session, only the low-toxicity, but adequate, bactericide hyperpure chlorine dioxide was applied for irrigation, before the provocation of periapical bleeding into the canal. The blood clots were covered with Biodentine, and the tooth was restored with composite filling. During the 24-month follow-up, clinical signs/symptoms had disappeared, and the periapical lesion was resolved. Increased root thickness in the apical third and decreased size of the apical foramen were detected. In conclusion, regenerative endodontic procedures could potentially be used to retreat immature teeth with persistent apical periodontitis and external cervical resorption. Full article
