Title
Molecular Research on Dental Materials and Biomaterials 2018
Subject
Worldwide, populations of all ages suffer from oral diseases, disorders, pathological conditions
of the oral cavity, and their impact on the human body. New dental materials and biomaterials,
currently being introduced, under development, or envisioned, are expected to benefit the oral health
status. These materials will provide a wide range of diverse functions, from promoting osteogenesis to
bacterial biofilm formation inhibition.
Factually, dental biomaterials were intended to provide core functions, such as mechanical support
to masticatory loads (e.g., dental crowns) or optical properties to display a pleasant and natural
appearance (e.g., resin composites). This approach has led to the successful design of numerous
clinically used materials over the years, such as sealants, orthodontic adhesives, luting cement,
hybrids materials for computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM)-based
restorative dentistry.
However, despite the ongoing development, unmet dental needs remain. The mouth is a dynamic
environment, so dental materials regularly experience changes that alter performance, and this
highlights the profound need for methods to allow tracking of its performance in physiologically
complex especially simulating the intraoral environment. Both novel and cutting-edge preventive and
therapeutic strategies are still in a claim.
In the special issue “Dental Materials and Biomaterials 2018”, encouraging findings on progressing
treatment of the most prevalent oral conditions were described, covering different aspects of technological
development to treatment options, considering insights derived from a plethora of in vitro/ in situ models
and clinical trials.
