Oral Microbiota and Bone Regeneration

Dear Colleagues,

It is our utmost pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to a Special Issue regarding one of the most current topics in dentistry: “Oral Microbiota and Bone Regeneration”.

In the past few years, there have been considerable developments in the field of oral biology, biochemistry, tissue engineering, bone regeneration and oral rehabilitation, with the utilization of various biomaterials.

Clinical dentistry has long been focused on macro changes in the oral cavity, and there needs to be a paradigm shift toward microscopic and chemical changes occurring in the oral cavity in response to various treatment procedures, altering the oral microbiota.

Therefore, with this Special Issue, we would like to encourage the submission of scientific articles that analyze the intra-individual bacterial transmission that characterizes the gingival and subgingival microbiomes during bone and tissue regeneration procedures in oral surgery, implantology and periodontology, as well as alterations in the oral microbiota following inflammatory states.

This Special Issue will provide an excellent forum to bring together different communities and publish research of a high caliber, which will be beneficial to healthcare. For this purpose, we invite you to submit original research articles, clinical articles, and reviews regarding any of the topics mentioned above.

We look forward to receiving your submissions.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
