Title
Composite and Polymeric Materials for Dentistry: Enhancing Antimicrobial and Mechanical Properties
Subject
Polymeric Materials for Dentistry
Description
Billions of people suffer from dental problems and that number is constantly increasing.
Paradoxically, the deteriorating state our teeth is accompanied by the ever-increasing
desire to preserve our best facial appearance, which is significantly influenced by dental
aesthetics. This favors the dynamic development of dental materials. Special attention
has been granted to the possibility of giving materials new or improved properties by the
introduction of nano- or submicrometer-size additives, natural oils, new monomers, and
other potentially beneficial chemical and structural modifications. Equally important are
the new data regarding the colonization of dental materials by pathogenic microbes and
their influence on the other properties, as well as the multifactor evaluation of materials
recently introduced to the market. Therefore, this Special Issue includes a compilation of
different review and research analyses pertaining to the improvement of the antimicrobial
and mechanical properties of composite and polymeric materials for dentistry.
