About This Topic
Dear Colleagues,
Dentistry is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field that bridges the gap between medical sciences and materials engineering, with the goal of improving oral health and patient outcomes. Recent advances in material sciences have significantly enhanced the quality and functionality of dental therapies, leading to the development of innovative biomaterials and novel treatment approaches. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest progress in dental materials, focusing on translational and clinical research that supports the development of restorative and regenerative solutions in dentistry. We welcome submissions that investigate the design, characterization, and clinical performance of new materials and technologies applied to dental care.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Novel restorative and prosthetic materials
- Bioactive and regenerative biomaterials
- Smart materials for diagnostic and therapeutic applications
- Additive manufacturing and digital workflows in dentistry
- Surface modifications and coatings for dental implants
- Drug delivery systems for oral diseases
- Translational and interdisciplinary research in dental material sciences
We encourage researchers and clinicians working at the interface of materials science and dental medicine to contribute original research articles and comprehensive review papers to this Special Issue.
Dr. Giuseppe Minervini
