Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in dental implantology continue to revolutionize oral rehabilitation, offering patients functional and esthetic solutions to tooth loss. Innovations in implant materials, surgical techniques, and post-operative management have advanced the field, yet challenges persist in ensuring predictable outcomes and long-term success.

This Special Issue, “Innovations and Challenges in Dental Implantology”, seeks to highlight cutting-edge research and practical insights into key aspects of implantology. Topics of interest include advancements in osseointegration, biomaterials, autologous blood-derived products, and enhanced approaches to guided bone regeneration and bone augmentation. Contributions addressing sinus elevation techniques, peri-implantitis prevention and treatment, soft tissue management, and strategies to mitigate implant failures are highly encouraged. Furthermore, we welcome studies focusing on surgical or non-surgical salvage techniques, providing valuable insights into the management of complications in dental implantology.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and scholars to contribute original research, reviews, and other papers that delve into these themes, offering innovative perspectives and addressing current challenges in the field.

Together, let us pave the way for improved patient care and sustained success in dental implantology.

Dr. Devorah Schwartz-Arad

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.

This review aims to provide an overview of the types of membranes, bone substitutes, and mucosal substitutes used for GTR and GBR and briefly explores recent innovations for tissue regeneration and their future perspectives. Since this is a narrative review, no systematic search, meta-analysis, or statistical analysis was conducted. Using biomaterials for GTR and GBR provides a reduction in postoperative morbidity, as it contributes to less invasive clinical procedures, serving as an alternative to autogenous grafts. Moreover, randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews are essential for the evaluation of new biomaterials. These studies provide more robust evidence and help guide clinical practice in the selection of safer and more effective biomaterials, allowing for the personalization of treatment protocols for each patient.
