Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral wound healing occurs in the setting of high microbial burden, constant physical trauma, and the presence of saliva and is therefore different to cutaneous wound healing. Even though there are more than 13 million oral surgeries performed every year in the United States, there are currently limited therapeutics to address oral wound healing. Healing in the oral cavity is genetically different than cutaneous wound healing and is poorly understood, making it a promising area for therapy and bioengineering. The correlation between systemic health and oral health is well known, underscoring the importance of developing new therapies that address oral injury and healing. This Special Issue will focus on the novel biomaterials required to provide bioregenerative therapies to the mucosa and underlying bone. The oral cavity provides a complex environment where salivary fistulas can form from the mouth to the neck or mouth to the nose, making speech and eating problematic.

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. 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.
