Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quality of root canal treatment has improved over recent decades due to milestone developments of new materials, concepts and techniques. Ongoing development shows the needs for further improvements. Modifications of Nickel–Titanium alloys, for example, were crucial for the introduction of highly flexible and fracture resistant endodontic instruments. In addition, root canal filling materials have evolved in terms of biocompatibility and bioactivity. New developments can enhance present materials, and new materials and techniques need to undergo independent investigations.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to present recent progress in root canal preparation and root canal filing.
This Special Issue will include high-quality original research papers, review papers, and case studies dealing with the development and application of new materials and techniques for root canal preparation and filling.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit original research papers and state-of-the-art reviews for this Special Issue.
Dr. David Donnermeyer
Guest Editor
