Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern dentistry is witnessing a transformative evolution through the development and application of novel biomaterials. This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research, emerging trends, and innovative technologies that are shaping the future of dental biomaterials. Recent advancements in biomimetic materials, bioactive ceramics, nanomaterials, and tissue-engineering scaffolds are redefining restorative, prosthetic, and regenerative dental therapies. These materials offer enhanced mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and aesthetic outcomes while addressing challenges such as biofilm resistance, tooth remineralization, and implant integration. The Special Issue also explores the role of nanotechnology in improving adhesive interfaces, drug delivery systems, and antibacterial coatings. Contributions encompass in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies that investigate the performance, durability, and biological interactions of these novel biomaterials. By bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from material science, dental research, and clinical applications, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions in dental biomaterials. Ultimately, it seeks to bridge the gap between research innovation and clinical practice, promoting the development of next-generation materials that enhance oral health outcomes and improve patient care in both preventive and therapeutic 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 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.
