Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue, “Advanced Biomaterials, Coatings and Techniques: Applications in Medicine and Dentistry, 2nd Edition”.
The field of biomaterials is very extensive, encompassing both the materials themselves and their manufacturing methods, which are constantly developing.
The use of biomaterials for medical and oral applications is associated with specific issues concerning their biocompatibility, bio-integration, antimicrobial properties, corrosion resistance and long-term performance, which arise due to their close contact with human tissues. In the field of regenerative medicine, biomaterials are of great importance when used as scaffolds to promote cell growth and differentiation, resulting in the healing of tissue lesions.
Coatings are crucial to obtaining the most significant properties of biomaterials via surface modification, making them suitable for medical and oral applications.
This Special Issue aims to provide an updated outlook on the applications of biomaterials and coatings in medicine and dentistry and present innovative manufacturing technologies. It seeks to serve as a forum for researchers and scholars from across the world to report their research findings on this topic. We welcome research articles, reviews, and communications.

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. Coatings 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.
