Special Issue on Dental Materials

Materials are at the forefront of new technologies in medicine and dentistry, both in preventative and restorative treatment. Dental materials are also named as oral materials, which used in oral biology environment as one of the biomedical materials. Dental materials are used to replace tooth structure loss, usually due to dental caries, but also tooth wear and dental trauma. On other occasions, such materials may be used for cosmetic purpose to alter the appearance of a people’s teeth. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for scientists worldwide to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of dental materials.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring dental materials. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Dental cements
• Dental restorative materials
• Types of dental materials (polymers, metals, ceramics and composites)
• Properties of dental materials
• Surfaces and interfaces in dental materials
• Bioactivity and biocompatibility of dental materials
• Applications of dental materials

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Dental Materials” should be selected during your submission.
