Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Effective management of oral infectious diseases is a global challenge. Bacteria and biofilm formation on dental hard or soft tissue are the major cause of dental diseases (caries, periodontal and endodontic diseases). A wide variety of dental materials is used in the oral environment for restorative, prosthetic, and implant applications. However, none of these treatments guarantee complete elimination of bacteria/biofilm, nor the prevention of secondary infections. In order to achieve long-term clinical success, it is important to render dental materials with antimicrobial properties. Constant research is needed to continue improving the performance of these materials in dental practice.
The goal of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the progressions in antimicrobial dental materials and the development of new strategies (not only based on antibiotics) for the prevention of biofilm formation, or for the treatment of dental materials associated infections. All types of articles falling within the scope of the above research areas are welcome.
