Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As dentistry evolves, especially the prosthodontics field, new materials and techniques emerge on a daily basis. In this sense, the upward development aims to improve the clinical longevity of indirect restorations by modifying the adhesive techniques and materials employed. More conservative approaches arise by using materials with the capability of mimicking the natural dental structure, enhancing both the functionality and esthetics of rehabilitation treatments. These advancements not only promise increased durability and performance of dental indirect restorations, but also emphasize minimally invasive procedures that prioritize the preservation of natural tooth structure. Alongside that, the use of new technologies to produce indirect restorations is directly connected with current materials, inducing a process with high precision and solutions focused on patient-specific needs, further enhancing treatment outcomes.

Considering the novelty of such topics, there is a notable lack of comprehensive data to fulfil the knowledge gap concerning new materials and adhesive techniques in prosthodontics. Thus, this Special Issue will delve into the latest innovations in adhesive dentistry, exploring cutting-edge materials, novel bonding methods and their clinical applications in prosthodontics. We invite authors to contribute original research articles, reviews and case studies that examine the development and performance of new adhesive systems, and their impact on the longevity and esthetics of dental restorations. By sharing your expertise and findings, you can help shape the future of prosthodontics and contribute to the collective knowledge that drives this dynamic theme forward.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) treatment on the surface characteristics and bond strength of zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics for CAD-on restorations. A total of 70 cylindrical-shaped specimens of lithium disilicate and 70 disc-shaped specimens of Y-TZP zirconia were machined, thermally processed, surface-treated, and then resin-bonded. The specimens were grouped according to the following surface treatments: no surface treatment, sandblasting, plasma, sandblasting followed by plasma, sandblasting followed by universal adhesive, plasma followed by universal adhesive, and sandblasting and plasma treatment followed by universal adhesive. The treated surfaces were subjected to a wettability assessment via contact angle measurement and a topography assessment using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cemented assembly was subjected to shear bond strength testing with a universal testing machine, and the results were imported to SPSS 23.0 for statistical analysis. The results show that APPJ treatment induced a significantly low contact angle for both ceramics with no surface alteration upon scanning. Moreover, APPJ treatment produced a bonded assembly with a shear bond strength comparable to sandblasting. In conclusion, APPJ treatment should be considered an efficient surface treatment with a non-destructive nature that surpasses sandblasting with the provision of a high shear bond strength between CAD-on ceramics.
