Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Dental prosthesis is an artifact used to replace the original, lost or compromised, tooth for functional and/or aesthetic reasons. Thanks to the advent of new technologies, it is now possible to offer prostheses and therefore rehabilitations that are increasingly technologically advanced and built with the safest and most advanced materials. The care taken in the design and construction of a dental prosthesis with the help of advanced technologies is aimed at improving quality of life because a dental prosthesis improves and obviously facilitates chewing but is also effective in producing an aesthetic improvement. Developments in the field of dentistry and correct education in the prevention of decay and care of one’s dental apparatus are some of the elements that lead to the prolonged conservation of natural teeth. However, medical advances and better quality of life mean that an increasing number of people reach an advanced age, which makes it necessary to implant a dental prosthesis due to periodontal compromise that causes inevitable edentulism. The purpose of this Special Issue is to promote research on oral rehabilitations, including all types of prosthetic, fixed, removable, implant-supported, mucosal or mixed support rehabilitations. Of particular significance are the originality of the technique and of the materials and their biomechanical features.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Prosthesis is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Numerous types of prosthodontics surgical guides, with and without metallic sleeves, have been found to be useful in clinical studies. The aim of this in vitro research was to compare the time required to complete the surgical procedure with two differently designed surgical prosthetic templates. Ten identical prototype models of mandible based on a CBCT and optical scan of a partially edentulous patient with missing teeth numbers 37, 46, and 47 were prepared and then printed. Five of these models were used for implant site preparation with a surgical guide without metal sleeves and dedicated surgical kit, and the other five models were used for the same procedure performed with a surgical guide with metal sleeves and a dedicated surgical kit. The time of implant site preparation was measured and recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test for independent samples. Differences between groups were found to be statistically significant (t = −9.94; df = 28; p = 0.0000) with a lower value in favor of the surgical templates without metallic sleeves. Different types of prosthodontics surgical guides, with or without metallic sleeves, seemed to be an important factor which can significantly impact the time of implant site preparation and, therefore, the overall surgical procedure.

The wear behaviour and chemical composition of orthodontic components influence the mechanical characteristics of a fixed orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the surface alterations of different types of brackets (aesthetic, metallic, and conventional self-ligating) and archwires (superelastic and thermal) subjected to wear tests through optical microscopy and, subsequently, to identify the chemical elements of accessories by X-ray fluorescence. The cycles (5000 for each bracket and 10,000 for each wire) of the tribological test were carried out in dry conditions inside a machine that allows alternating sliding. The results of the study highlighted different wear behaviours even within the same type of brackets and archwires. The monocrystalline sapphire brackets maintain their aesthetic properties despite traces of wear inside the slots and contain minimal amounts of nickel. Superelastic NiTi archwires have a better overall rating than thermal wires, as they do not show significant surface wear alterations. Full article

Implant rehabilitation is a daily practice in dentistry, and patients often have heightened expectations regarding both the functional and the aesthetic outcome. Implant–abutment connection (IAC) is involved in the long-term aesthetic quality of the rehabilitation. The use of one-piece implants for fixing dentures may prevent the mechanical and biological implication of the implant–abutment interface, resulting in a better quality of hard and soft tissue maintenance. In this case report, we present a novel one-piece implant in a maxillary rehabilitation with a full model-free digital approach. Full article
