Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The success of our previous first volume of the Special Issue “Advanced Dental Materials: From Design to Application” underlines that the development of dentistry, and thus dental materials, is very fast and requires further research. This fact has encouraged us to create a second Special Issue under the same title that will further present state-of-the-art advances in dental materials.

Nowadays, the expectations of patients and he demands of dentists are therefore increasing. Much effort is invested in the development and improvement of the properties of dental materials used in everyday practice. The aesthetic properties of the materials are very important, but so are their mechanical and physical properties, meaning that they can withstand loads within a very dynamic environment—the oral cavity.

Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to present the results of the latest research on the properties of various materials: ceramic, acrylic resin and composite materials and dental alloys, and their application in the field of prosthodontics using analog and digital technologies, i.e., additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies.

As the Guest Editors of the journal Materials, we would like to invite you to submit a research article, review paper, or case report.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The aim of this finite element analysis (FEA) was to investigate the distribution of von Mises stress within dental implant components, as well as trabecular and cortical bone. The study considered various bone qualities that influence cortical thickness in contact with the implant, specifically examining cortical thicknesses of 0.5, 1.5, and 3 mm, corresponding to Bergkvist’s classifications IV, III, and II, respectively. A simplified 3D model of the bone was developed for the analysis. Two short implants were inserted into the model: one with a 30° inclined abutment (IA) and another positioned at a 30° angle featuring a straight abutment (II). A vertical force (120 N) was applied to the upper surface of the abutments. FEA software was employed to assess the stresses on the peri-implant tissues and the implants. The findings indicated that a reduction in cortical bone thickness results in an increase in stress within the cortical bone. For IA, the stresses recorded 32.56, 56.12, and 96.14 MPa for cortical thicknesses of 3, 1.5, and 0.5 mm, respectively. Conversely, II exhibited increased stresses across all bone qualities (52.32, 76.15, and 126.32 MPa for the same cortical thicknesses). It is advisable to avoid II in cases of poor bone quality and thin cortical due to the heightened risk of overload-induced bone resorption; however, it may be preferable to use IA in scenarios involving good bone quality and thicker cortical.

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of etching protocols on bond strength, surface roughness, and mechanical properties of a zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS) CAD/CAM-ceramic. In total, 100 bars (ISO 6872), 75 plaques, and 25 cubes were cut from ZLS blocks(Vita Suprinity®). The surfaces were standardized, crystallized and divided into five groups: 1. control (no/treatment-C), 2. 5%-Hydrofluoric-acid (HF)/20 s (HF5%20s), 3.HF5%60s, 4.HF10%20s, and 5.HF10%60s. Flexural strength (FS) (three-point bending test, 1 mm/min), roughness (Pa), and micro-shear bond-strength (µSBS) tests were performed. The data were statistically analyzed with one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test (p ˂ 0.05) and Weibull (FS data). C showed higher Pa (1.176 ± 0.370 µm) than HF10%60s (0.627 ± 0.236 µm) and all other groups. Groups C and 20 s showed the most irregular surface patterns. The FS results were not influenced by etching protocols, while the Weibull modulus was, with the 5%HF groups being the most reliable (m: 5.63/6.70), while C and HF10%60s (m: 2.78/2.73) were the least reliable. All fractures originated from surface defects on the treated side of specimens. The 5%HF groups showed higher µSBS (20 s: 21.35 ± 4.70 MPa; 60 s: 23.50 ± 4.27 MPa) than the 10%HF groups (20 s: 14.51 ± 2.47 MPa; 60 s: 16.54 ± 3.12 MPa) and C (6.46 ± 2.71 MPa). The most prevalent failure pattern was “mixed” for etched groups, and “adhesive” for C. Etching protocols affect the evaluated properties by roughening materials’ surface and, in some cases, regularizing surface defects. The best overall outcomes were achieved when applying 5%HF.
