Advanced Dental Biomaterials: Technologies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Therapy in the oro-dental and maxillo-facial region is challenging because the oral cavity has several tissues with distinct cell populations (ectodermal and mesodermal), making the procedures more complex. Dental materials must survive the harsh and fluctuating conditions of the mouth, and currently, no dental materials have the ideal properties for any dental applications. Therefore, new biomaterials have been developed for dental use which have a wider applicability in preventive, restorative, and regenerative treatments.

The aim of this Special Issue “Advanced Dental Biomaterials: Technologies and Applications” is to provide the latest information on dental biomaterials. Topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to: biocompatibility of biomaterials, nanorobots or dentirobots, mechanics characterization of dental biomaterials, regenerative strategies, dental composite materials, bonding adhesives, periodontal tissue engineering strategies, stem cells, pulp capping biomaterials, bone regeneration, cleft palate, surface modification techniques, titanium alloys, and 3D printing. High-quality research articles, clinical studies, review articles, and case reports are all welcome.

We invite you to submit your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.

Best regards,

Dr. Anabela Baptista Pereira Paula

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.
