Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The improvement in the properties and performance of dental materials plays an important role in clinical practice. Polymer composites are used in almost every field of dentistry. Current research focuses on introducing novel materials, comparing their properties, and providing clinical recommendations. Such effort is necessary, as our area concentrates on restoring oral cavity structures. The optimal treatment plan and its introduction always require thoroughly tested materials.
This Special Issue aims to highlight progress in the properties and clinical applications of polymer composites used in dentistry. However, this Special Issue is not limited to the above topics and will consider publishing all studies connected to novel materials and their applications in dentistry.
