Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Advancements in Restorative Techniques for Caries Management,” will feature original research, systematic reviews, clinical trials, and case-based evidence addressing, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Recent Advances in Caries Prevention
This section emphasizes emerging strategies for reducing caries incidence and progression through preventive science and public health approaches. Topics include the following:
- Novel remineralization therapies and bioactive agents.
- Fluoride and non-fluoride-based preventive technologies.
- Saliva diagnostics, microbiome modulation, and personalized prevention.
- Preventive strategies in high-risk and special-needs populations.
- Integration of behavioral science, health policy, and community-based interventions in caries prevention.
- Advancements in Restorative Techniques for Caries Management
This section highlights breakthrough innovations in operative dentistry aimed at preserving tooth structure, preserving pulp vitality, and improving long-term outcomes. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Minimally invasive restorative approaches and biomimetic techniques.
- Advances in adhesive systems and composite resin technology.
- Use of bioactive and nanomaterial-based restorative materials.
- Digital dentistry applications in caries diagnosis and restoration (CAD/CAM, 3D printing, and AI-driven tools).
- Longevity, clinical performance, and patient-centered outcomes of restorative interventions.
By bridging preventive science and restorative innovation, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive platform for clinicians, researchers, educators, and policymakers to share cutting-edge knowledge that will shape the future of caries management.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
