Almost all fields of dentistry are closely related to newly developed materials, and all clinical improvements often follow, or, in any case, go hand in hand with the creation and the development of innovative and higher performing materials,…

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials explores the recent advances and trends with respect
to nano-engineered strategies towards dental implant applications. A dental implant
microenvironment is complex, and an implantation surgery results in a local…

In recent years the dental field has evolved incredibly due to the introduction of digital
technology. Thanks to new devices such as intraoral and facial scanners, different clinical
procedures have been facilitated by reducing clinical steps and…

Modern medicine is now more oriented towards patient-based treatments. Taking into account
individual biological features allows for increasing the quality of the healing process. Opportunities
for modern hardware and software allow not only the…

Recently, the development of coatings of implant and bone surfaces has received a significant
amount of interest. The coating of implants may enhance osseointegration. Moreover, coating the
surface of implants may provide antimicrobial effects.…

With advances in dental materials and their clinical applications, as well as innovations in computer technology, dental treatment is constantly evolving. In particular, adhesion technology to the tooth surface, implant treatments, and the…

Since Dr. Branemark presented the osseointegration concept with dental implants, implant dentistry has changed and improved dramatically. The use of dental implants has skyrocketed in the past thirty years. As the benefits of therapy became apparent,…

Implant dentistry has changed and enhanced significantly since the introduction of osseointegration concept with dental implants. Because the benefits of therapy became apparent, implant treatment earned a widespread acceptance. Therefore, the need…

The discipline of dental implantology is one of the scientific medical/dental fields that are moving dynamically very fast. Not to mention the multiple specialties involved in managing the service as well as the research production. As much as it is…

This special issue provides a current snapshot of recent advances and ongoing challenges in the development of titanium alloys for biomedical implants and devices. Titanium offers significant advantages over other materials including higher strength…
