Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers have many applications in the dental field. Diverse types of polymeric and composite materials are used for dental treatment, especially in prosthetic and restorative dentistry. Moreover, in recent years, due to computer-assisted manufacturing procedures such as milling and 3D printing, new materials have become available for dental purposes. Typical examples are dental veneers, partial crowns, splints, and frameworks of fixed as well as removable dentures.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the latest information on dental materials, especially in polymeric and composite materials. Topics in this Special Issue include but are not limited to the development and application of recent polymer-based dental materials and their biological and mechanical properties, their clinical performance evaluation, as well as machining and 3D printing devices. Original articles in vitro and in vivo, and reviews are all welcome.
Dr. Oliver Schierz
