Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce this Special Issue on “Dental Pulp Cells”. Researchers are welcome to submit their works. We will be publishing research on developmental biology—how the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm are involved with each other—and on anatomy, namely the hard tissue that surrounds other hard tissue and that surrounds soft tissue, as well as diphyodont, primary, and permanent dentition in human teeth. Teeth are responsible for the central human function of mastication, pronunciation, and aesthetics.
“Dental Pulp Cells” are the centerpiece of tooth specificity. This is because ameloblasts are removed after enamel formation, whereas the odontoblasts that form dentin remain in the dental pulp chamber and root canal to create reactive dentin. Therefore, many studies have been conducted on dental pulp cells as a key factor for tooth regeneration, but none have been entirely successful. There is still a lot to uncover in this field.
This Special Issue deals with dental pulp cells, pulp regeneration, and stem cells derived from primary and permanent teeth. In addition, we welcome research on cells in the oral region, as well as work on cell biology and anatomy. Any kind of research, such as original articles, reviews, and case reports, are warmly welcome.

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. 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.
