Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to exploring the emerging research about the Restorative and Implant Materials. The transformative impact of materials in dentistry, particularly in the field of oral implantology, reflects our pursuit of excellence in patient care. The novel materials and techniques that are frequently introduced in daily clinical practice require continuous study and research. Accordingly, the purpose of the present Special Issue is to collect current research regarding the dental materials used, especially in oral implantology. Possible research topics include fixtures, abutments, and restorative materials. Titanium, zirconia, composites, fiber-reinforced composites, materials that could influence behavioral science or patients’ compliance, and have an impact on radiography techniques may also be taken into consideration.
Analyses of the chemical, physical, and mechanical characteristics of the dental implant materials, along with basic and translational research studies, mechanical analyses, clinical trials, and reviews, will be considered for publication.
Dr. Gaetano Marenzi
Guest Editor
