Bone Regeneration in Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

A wide range of bone regeneration from periodontal defects to jawbone deficiency is required in the daily practice of dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery. In particular, demands for bone regeneration are increasing according to the advancement of aged society. Autogenous bone grafts are still widely used as the gold standard because of its superior osteogenecity, though it has disadvantages such as limited availability and donor site morbidity. However, recent advancement in material sciences and stem cell biology enable us to challenge new strategies to regenerate bone deficiency in oral and maxillofacial region. Then, many clinical studies using new biomaterials, biological molecules, and/or stem cells have been conducted.

This Special Issue is intended to provide an overview of recent advances in bone regeneration in dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery and to give readers a hint of thinking to standardize bone regenerative strategy in next era.

On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, you are cordially invited to contribute an article to the Special Issue “Bone Regeneration in Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.” Research articles, reviews, and mini reviews are welcome. Case reports will also be considered for publication.

Prof. Izumi Asahina
