Tissue Engineering Updates and Perspectives in Dentistry—Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The remarkable advancements of stem cell biology and the progress made in the field of biomaterial research are prompting an impressive development of protocols based on regenerative techniques in dentistry. Clinical applications range between pulp revitalization procedures, guided tissue regeneration, and stem cell implantation for hard and soft tissue repair. While grafts and membranes were used for guided tissue regeneration in the past, technological advancements are now constantly pushing the boundaries further. Thus, new dental techniques are continuously bridging the gap between research and clinical application. As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue of Biomedicines (Publisher MDPI, St Alban-Anlage 66, Basel, Switzerland; IF 2019: 4.717), I would like to invite colleagues who have experience in both the dental and biological fields and who are experts in dental tissue engineering to submit their latest research.

This Special Issue aims to report on the state of the art of basic, translational, and clinical research in the tissue engineering field that can provide fellow dentists and researchers of various specialties with information on regenerative techniques.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Bases of bone physiology;
• Wound healing;
• Biomaterials used in dentistry;
• Growth factors for dental use;
• Implant surface treatment;
• Surgical techniques of bone regeneration;
• Regeneration aspects in conservative dentistry;
• Regeneration aspects in periodontal therapy;
• Regeneration aspects in implantology;
• Mesenchymal stem cells;
• State of the art of clinical applications of stem cells in bone regeneration.

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers and reviews are welcome.

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. Biomedicines 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 2600 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.
