Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to the forthcoming Special Issue, “Bone Augmentation in Dentistry”.

In daily clinical practice, we must deal with people with insufficient alveolar ridge volumes who wish to receive an implant. Therefore, we are forced to use regenerative techniques to increase the bone volume. In this Special Issue, we aim to include articles presenting innovative techniques that can prevent the excessive bone resorption of the alveolar ridge after tooth extraction, or that can regenerate lost bone volume via regeneration performed before or during dental implant placement.

As a member of the Dentistry Editorial Board, I invite you to submit a high-quality article on this topic. I thank you in advance and wish you the best.

Dr. Daniele Botticelli
Guest Editor

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. Dentistry Journal 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 2000 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Aim: Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a chain-like polymer derived from DNA. Recent in vitro and animal studies have showcased the beneficial impacts of PDRN on the process of bone mending, whether used on its own or in conjunction with other substances that aid in regeneration. This scoping review aims to synthesize the current understanding of how PDRNs influence bone healing. Materials and Methods: The studies included in the screening procedure were randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), both retrospective and prospective case–control studies, as well as in vitro and in vivo investigations. Articles were sourced from PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar electronic databases using the following MeSH terms: (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and (bone) and (regeneration). Results: Initially, 228 articles were identified. Following the review process, a total of eight studies were ultimately examined. Among these, two were confined to laboratory studies, five were conducted on living organisms, and one encompassed both evaluations on living organisms and in vitro assessments. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to present the data extracted from the studies that were included. Conclusions: PDRN has the potential to enhance the process of bone healing and the quantity of newly generated bone when combined with grafting materials. Future clinical studies are warranted to ascertain the appropriate clinical application of PDRN based on the dosage under consideration. Full article

Background/Objectives: This systematic review aimed to compare the tunnel technique for pre-implant bone regeneration with traditional flap techniques also involving a crestal incision, in terms of procedure success, graft healing, postoperative course, patient satisfaction, and implant follow-up. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials following PRISMA guidelines, searching for comparative prospective and retrospective studies in English, published between January 2002 and April 2024. The population of interest consisted of patients with edentulous ridge atrophy requiring pre-implant bone regeneration. The primary outcome was the success of the procedure. The secondary outcomes included complications, patient comfort, graft resorption, bone gain, primary implant stability, implant success/survival, peri-implant bone level change, and operative time. The risk of bias was assessed using RoB2 and ROBINS-I. Results: The search and selection process yielded one randomized controlled trial and three comparative observational studies, all with serious/high risk of bias. A narrative synthesis was conducted due to the small number of studies and the heterogeneity in key features. The tunnel technique might provide some advantages in terms of the success of the procedure, but the findings were not statistically significant. Conflicting findings or non-significant differences were reported in terms of the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: This review suggested some potential advantages of the tunnel technique for bone augmentation over traditional techniques involving a crestal incision, but the limited quality and amount of data precluded any definitive conclusions.
