Biomechanical Analysis of Dental Implants

Dear Colleagues,

The biomechanical performance of dental implants plays a critical role in the long-term success and reliability of oral rehabilitation procedures. As the demand for dental implants continues to rise worldwide, there is a growing interest in understanding the complex interactions between implant materials, bone biology, and mechanical forces. This Special Issue aims at gathering cutting-edge research on computational modeling, in vitro and in vivo biomechanical testing, and clinical evaluations related to dental implant systems. Topics of interest include stress distribution analysis, finite element modeling, the optimization of implant design, the influence of occlusal loading, and bone–implant interface behavior under different physiological conditions. Special attention will be given to interdisciplinary studies that incorporate advanced materials, digital dentistry technologies, and artificial intelligence for diagnostics and treatment planning. This Special Issue will serve as a platform for researchers, clinicians, and engineers to share innovative methodologies and findings that contribute to safer, more efficient, and patient-specific dental implant solutions.

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.
