Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Restorative dentistry pertains to the diagnosis and comprehensive management of diseases of acquired tooth loss, and its restoration according to functional and aesthetic requirements. Due to the development of dental materials and the aesthetic requirements of patients, restorative dentistry has become more relevant, providing a successful form of rehabilitation.

The main goal of this Special Issue is to outline current best practices and provide recommendations on promising developments in the field with a special focus on novel materials and their application.

Prof. Dr. Federico Foschi
Guest Editor

Tooth whitening is one of the most conservative procedures for increasing the aesthetics of patients, but the effect of bleaching on ceramic restorations has not been extensively studied. In this study, the bleaching effect on three dental restoration materials (polished/glazed lithium disilicate glass ceramic, leucite reinforced glass ceramic and zirconium dioxide ceramic) has been investigated in terms of surface roughness changes of the exposed samples. Philips Zoom NiteWhite 16% carbamide peroxide, Philips Zoom 6% hydrogen peroxide with following LED illumination and Pola Office 6% hydrogen peroxide have been used for ceramic bleaching. The experimental investigation and performed statistical analysis revealed that the highest surface roughness changes of all investigated ceramics were caused by the hydrogen peroxide and the lowest by carbamide peroxide. These findings correlated well with the colour changes observed in the same bleached dental ceramic samples indicating potential of carbamide peroxide as the most prospective bleaching agent.
