Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue published by MDPI in the journal Bioengineering, entitled "Materials for Dentistry and Regenerative Medicine", aims to advance state-of-the-art research on the integration of materials science and its applications in the interdisciplinary fields of dentistry and regenerative medicine. This issue invites original contributions from clinicians and researchers at the forefront of this rapidly evolving field.

Notably, Bioengineering is indexed in Scopus and has received recognition for its high-quality research, ranking in the second quartile (Q2). This position reflects the journal's commitment to publishing rigorous and innovative research in the field of bioengineering. In addition, all articles published in the journal are included in PubMed/Medline, a highly regarded database of biomedical literature that is widely used by researchers and clinicians.

The overarching goal of this Special Issue is to provide a forum for the exchange of cutting-edge research and ideas in the field of materials science, and to explore their applications in dentistry and regenerative medicine. Within dentistry, the overarching aim is to develop novel materials and techniques that have a conservative and minimally invasive approach to promote consistent outcomes for the wellness of the patient.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the critical role that materials science plays in improving clinical outcomes, advancing regenerative medicine and driving scientific innovation. This Special Issue welcomes authors who wish to publish original clinical research, observational studies, reviews, case series and high-quality case reports, demonstrating a thoughtful approach via conservative and minimally invasive techniques to achieve a high degree of patient satisfaction. We encourage authors to submit their high-quality manuscripts to this Special Issue and contribute to this important field’s continued growth and development.

Background: The influence of a magnetic field on the activation of bone cells and remodelling of alveolar bone is known to incite bone regeneration. Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) aims to develop biomimetic scaffolds to allow for the functioning of the barrier and the precise succession of wound healing steps, including haemostasis. The effect of a magnetic field on blood clot dissolution has not been studied yet. Methods: We conducted a methodological study on the clot stability in the presence of a static magnetic field (SMF). Preformed whole blood (WB) clots were treated with either a broad proteolytic enzyme (trypsin) or a specific fibrinolytic agent, i.e., tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). MG63 osteoblast-like cells were added to preformed WB clots to assess cell proliferation. Results: After having experienced a number of clotting and dissolution protocols, we obtained clot stability exerted by SMF when tissue factor (for clotting) and t-PA + plasminogen (for fibrinolysis) were used. WB clots allowed osteoblast-like cells to survive and proliferate, however no obvious effects of the magnetic field were noted. Conclusions: Paramagnetic properties of erythrocytes may have influenced the reduction in clot dissolution. Future studies are warranted to fully exploit the combination of magnetic forces, WB clot and cells in GBR applied to orthodontics and prosthodontics. Full article

The field of dental medicine is constantly evolving and advancing toward minimally invasive techniques. Several studies have demonstrated that bonding to the tooth structure, particularly enamel, yields the most predictable results. In some instances, however, significant tooth loss, pulpal necrosis, or irreversible pulpitis may limit the options available to the restorative dentist. In these cases, placement of a post and core followed by a crown is the preferred treatment option, provided all requirements are met. This literature review provides an overview of the historical development of dental FRC post systems as well as a comprehensive examination of the currently available posts and their bonding requirements. In addition, it offers valuable insights for dental professionals seeking to understand the current state of the field and the prospects of dental FRC post systems. Full article

The emergence of digital dentistry has led to the introduction of various three-dimensional (3D) printing materials in the market, specifically for provisional fixed restoration. This study aimed to undertake a systematic review of the published literature on the Mechanical Properties of 3D- Printed Provisional Resin Materials for crown and fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). The electronic database on PubMed/Medline was searched for relevant studies. The search retrieved articles that were published from January 2011 to March 2023. The established focus question was: “Do provisional 3D-printed materials have better mechanical properties than conventional or milled provisional materials?”. The systematically extracted data included the researcher’s name(s), publication year, evaluation method, number of samples, types of materials, and study outcome. A total of 19 studies were included in this systematic review. These studies examined different aspects of the mechanical properties of 3D-printed provisional materials. Flexural Strength and Microhardness were the frequently used mechanical testing. Furthermore, 3D-printed provisional restorations showed higher hardness, smoother surfaces, less wear volume loss, and higher wear resistance compared to either milled or conventional, or both. 3D-printed provisional resin materials appear to be a promising option for fabricating provisional crowns and FDPs.
