New Biomaterials in Periodontology and Implantology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on new biomaterials in periodontology and implantology aims to highlight the cutting-edge advancements and interdisciplinary approaches that are shaping the future of dental treatments. It is dedicated to exploring the role of biomaterials in enhancing the efficacy, durability, and biocompatibility of periodontal and implant therapies. It seeks to bridge the gap in translational research by showcasing novel materials, technologies, and methodologies that promise to revolutionize patient care in periodontology and implantology.

The scope of this Special Issue encompasses, but is not limited to, the development and characterization of new biomaterials, advances in tissue engineering for periodontal and peri-implant regeneration, innovations in implant surface modifications, and the application of nanotechnology in dental implants, including in the treatment of peri-implant diseases. By compiling research articles, reviews, and case reports, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current trends, challenges, and future directions in the field.

Situated within the existing literature, this Special Issue will serve as a critical resource for researchers, clinicians, and academics, encouraging the exchange of ideas and fostering collaborations across disciplines. It aims to fill gaps in our knowledge, challenge existing paradigms, and inspire further research and development in the quest for more effective and patient-friendly periodontal and implantology solutions.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
