Innovations of Composite Materials in Prosthetic Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

The evolution of resinous materials in fixed prostheses on implants and teeth has led to high-level results, both in terms of aesthetics and in terms of durability. The possibility of producing these materials with completely digital laboratory methods, associated with completely digital studio workflows, allows the reduction of processing times and the possibility of delivering complex but cheaper prosthetic restorations. The possibility of using resinous materials that do not require metal reinforcements allows us to reduce costs, improve aesthetics and reduce processing times.

Moreover, the possibility of being able to choose different techniques for working the product makes the choice of this type of material for different applications very interesting, and with particular attention to fully digital workflows. To date, substructures of implant prostheses supported in zirconia, structures coated with other types of resins, complete resins or even milled digital flow complete dentures represent absolutely remarkable technical possibilities, and capable of attracting the attention of researchers, in developing new products, and of clinicians, in testing new materials already on the market or with interesting evaluations to improve the production of new products.

Hoping to have caught your attention, we expect to receive manuscripts that can enrich our knowledge in this area.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Composites Science is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1800 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
