Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Materials and devices are very important in the dental field. Many kinds of polymeric and composite materials and dental alloys are used for dental treatment, especially in prosthetic and restorative dentistry. Moreover, in recent years, dental implant treatment has become famous in dentistry. The materials used for dental implants, such as titanium and titanium-based alloys, have greatly improved over time. In addition, due to advances in processing technology, machining devices such as CAD/CAM have become widespread in dentistry, and in recent years, 3D-printing has been applied in dentistry.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the latest information on dental materials, especially in polymeric and composite materials, dental alloys, titanium and titanium-based alloys used for prosthetics, restorative and implant dentistry, and devices such as machining and 3D-printing in dentistry. Topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: the development of dental materials and their mechanical properties and surface properties; the method of material design for improving biological and mechanical properties; the evaluation of mechanical and biological properties of machined and 3D-printed materials; and performance evaluation of machining and 3D-printing devices. Original articles in vitro and in vivo, clinical studies, case reports, communications and reviews are all welcome.
