Advanced Materials in Implant Dentistry and Regenerative Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

Given the increasing amount of acquired knowledge regarding the biology beneath the regenerative process into the maxillary sinus cavity, new perspectives in regenerative surgery and implant surgery may be investigated. However, since the findings of the last 5 years, several concepts and principles regarding the choice of a graft material, the surgical technique, and the pattern of graft resorption should be rediscussed and further investigated. The choice of the right graft material according to the anatomical conditions, the timing of implant placement, and the crestal or lateral or even unconventional approaches deserve more investigation. These are necessary to assess the predictability of the therapy and to help patients and clinicians to reach the most reliable approach. Therefore, it is my immense pleasure to invite you who are facing the “maxillary sinus challenge” to submit your work to this Special Issue on “Advanced Materials in Implant Dentistry and Regenerative Medicine” addressing any aspect of sinus biology for bone regeneration, surgical approaches, and grafting materials, including in vitro and in vivo studies.

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.
