Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In modern implant dentistry, there is a growing need to satisfy a specific combination of biological, mechanical, and aesthetic needs. From a biomechanical point of view, the development of new dental implant systems, using methods based on design software with specialized tools, such as computer-assisted design (CAD), computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE), has allowed us to improve the implant design process. In addition, new materials with improved properties in terms of nature and appearance, as well as inertness and biocompatibility, have recently been introduced to meet aesthetic needs. However, above all, there is a need to prevent biological complications, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, that represent serious future challenges in dental implantology. The maintenance of osteointegration and a prolonged success rate in dental implants can be achived by modifying and reactivating the implant surface to be osteo-inductive and the abutment surface to be antibacterial, as well as by improving the soft tissue integration process to create a stable seal against possible bacterial invasion.
This Special Issue will be dedicated to experimental and clinical studies contributing to the improvement of our knowledge on the current state of art in implant dentistry.
