Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of biomaterials in dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, and orthopedics is increasingly important for advancing healthcare. Bone repair and regeneration continue to pose significant clinical challenges, with a growing global demand for more effective solutions. Despite the widespread use of traditional grafting methods, there are limitations related to the availability and quality of transplants. Therefore, there is a growing demand for innovative alternatives, such as natural and synthetic biomaterials, which can act as scaffolds for hard tissue regeneration. Additionally, advancements in implants, prosthetics, and digital dentistry are reshaping functional and aesthetic rehabilitation approaches for patients.
This Special Issue will cover the latest developments in biomaterials, with a focus on their properties, mechanical behaviors, and interactions with cells and tissues. It will also explore their role in osseointegration and the long-term sustainability of implants and prosthetics. State-of-the-art tissue engineering strategies, including the integration of biomaterials with various cell types, growth factors, and extracellular vesicles, will be highlighted to enhance bone tissue regeneration. Moreover, the role of digital tools, including numerical studies and computational simulations, will be emphasized for its contributions to improving implant design and prosthetic performance.
The aim of this Special Issue is to enhance the efficacy, longevity, and precision of medical implants, prosthetics, and bone substitute materials, ultimately improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, short communications, and mini-reviews reporting on innovative biomaterials, tissue engineering strategies, implant surface technologies, prosthetic innovations, numerical modeling, and digital workflows are encouraged.
In summary, this collection will explore the development of cutting-edge biomaterials and techniques for improving implant performance, bone regeneration, and prosthetics in dental and orthopedic fields. It aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and push the boundaries of current practices, ultimately advancing healthcare solutions for patients worldwide.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
