Advances in Dental Composite Materials and Biomaterials

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last few decades, there has been an increased demand for esthetics, biocompatibility, and longevity of advanced dental composite materials. Dental composites are expected to mimic the characteristics of the natural teeth by providing similar color, mechanical properties and also offering a long lasting in time. The differences in filler loadings are the basis of a variety of classes of dental composites with variable mechanical properties, radiopacity, water sorption, solubility or polymerization shrinkage. The development of new nano-composites will lead to the development of new treatment methods using advanced biomimetic materials to achieve structures close to the teeth or bone, when we refer to implantology.

It is my pleasure to invite you and members of your research group to submit articles for a Special Issue of Advances in Dental Composite Materials and Biomaterials. The Special Issue: Advances in Dental Composite Materials and Biomaterials will cover original research articles, review articles, and clinical studies on properties or biological topics of dental materials/biomaterials, fixed and removable prosthodontics, clinical techniques, and long-term clinical trials. We offer rapid editorial evaluation and short publication times without compromising the scientific quality.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials 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 2600 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.
