Recent Advancements in Novel Dental Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The field of dental materials is undergoing rapid innovation, driven by the increasing demand for biocompatibility, mechanical strength, aesthetic performance, and long-term durability. This Special Issue, Recent Advancements in Novel Dental Materials, aims to highlight the latest developments in material science as applied to dentistry, including but not limited to restorative, adhesive, prosthetic, endodontic, and orthodontic applications. Special emphasis will be placed on advanced resin composites, nanomaterials, bioactive and biomimetic materials, smart materials, and novel fabrication techniques. We welcome contributions that explore the mechanical, physical, biological, and clinical properties of new dental materials, as well as studies addressing their in vitro and in vivo performance, long-term stability, and sustainability. Original research articles, reviews, and case-based studies are all invited to provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge materials that will shape the future of modern dentistry.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
