Prosthodontic Research and Clinical Applications

Prosthodontics is a vital branch of dentistry dedicated to the restoration and replacement of missing teeth and oral structures. Currently, there are many types of dental restorations and appliances either on teeth as on implant, which have different physical and chemical properties, technology of manufacturing, and durability. However, the issues of comparative assessment of these restorations are yet not sufficiently studied. Moreover, the application of various biomaterials in the field of dentistry and particularly in prosthodontics has significant impact on the final outcome of the treatment. Nowadays, the insertion of new types of biomaterials to the market still needs further investigation and comparisons with existing options.


This Research Topic will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of prosthodontics, offering insights into both research and clinical practice. The impact of various dental prosthetic materials on periodontal/peri-implant apparatus still needs further investigations. We aimed to consider papers related to Prosthodontics, Restorative Dentistry, Digital Dentistry, Prosthetic Biomaterials, Maxillofacial Prosthodontics, Aesthetic Prosthodontics, Prosthodontic Research, Clinical Applications, Prosthodontic Innovations, Patient Care, Precision Prosthodontics, Prosthetic Rehabilitation, Removable Prosthodontics, Implant-Supported Prostheses, Prosthodontic Education, Prosthodontic Practice Guidelines, Interdisciplinary Prosthodontics, Quality of Life and Prosthodontics, Artificial Intelligence. As Artificial Intelligence gains popularity in all healthcare spheres, including dentistry and oral care, we welcome papers related to the interrelationship of AI and Prosthetic Dentistry. This will enhance an understanding of how the AI can simplify the work of prosthodontists during diagnostics, treatment planning and treatment increasing the effectiveness of treatment outcomes.


As the field continues to evolve, this Research Topic aims to explore the latest research, advancements, and clinical applications in prosthodontics. We welcome contributions that span a wide range of topics, from novel materials and techniques to cutting-edge digital technologies, and their practical implementation in patient care. This research topic also will focus on application of Nano- and Computerized technologies (CAD/CAM, Finite element analysis etc).
