Special Issue on the Advance of the Mechanical Properties of Dental Materials

In the oral environment, restorative and prosthetic materials and appliances are exposed to chemical, thermal and mechanical challenges. The mechanical properties of a material define how it responds to the application of physical force. This Special Issue focuses on all the recent technology that can enhance the mechanical properties of materials used in all of the different branches of dentistry. This Special Issue is closed, but the topic is certainly of interest, and therefore new research will be needed to explore further evolution in dental materials.
