Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the launch of the Second Edition of the Special Issue “Tissue Engineering for Regenerative Dentistry”, which seeks to highlight cutting-edge advancements in integrating blood concentrates, stem cell therapies, and biomaterials for tissue regeneration purposes in dentistry.
The convergence of these regenerative strategies offers transformative potential for oral and maxillofacial rehabilitation. Autologous blood concentrates, which are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and leukocytes, have demonstrated a significant capacity to accelerate wound healing, stimulate angiogenesis, and promote soft and hard tissue regeneration. Concurrently, stem cells exhibit remarkable plasticity and regenerative power, activating endogenous repair pathways and contributing to tissue homeostasis.
Biomaterials, which include bioactive ceramics, biodegradable polymers, and composite scaffolds, act as vital frameworks that mimic the structure and biological signals of the natural extracellular matrix. These materials not only promote cellular adhesion and migration, but also enhance the processes of controlled differentiation and tissue integration.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the synergistic potential of these modalities, encouraging interdisciplinary research in the fields of bioengineering, biomaterials science, and clinical translation. By promoting a shift from conventional interventions to a biologically driven regenerative paradigm, we hope to contribute to a future where dental therapies are more predictable, personalized, and durable, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.

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.
