Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of dental biomaterials has significantly changed implantology and orthodontics, offering innovative solutions for better clinical outcomes. This Special Issue will explore the latest developments in biomaterials used in dental implants and orthodontic applications, focusing on their biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and long-term performance. Key topics include bioactive coatings, surface modifications, biodegradable materials, and biomaterials that improve osseointegration, bone regeneration, and orthodontic treatment.
The role of natural biomaterials, such as propolis, in improving oral health by reducing plaque and gingival inflammation will also be explored. Special attention will be given to the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects of dental bioproducts and their potential integration into preventive and therapeutic dental care strategies.
This Special Issue will bridge the gap between materials science and clinical practice, providing insight into how emerging biomaterials can improve treatment efficacy and patient comfort. By showcasing the latest research and technological advances, this Special Issue will contribute to the existing literature by addressing current challenges and future prospects in this field. Researchers are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies that highlight innovative materials and their applications in implantology and orthodontics. Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster interdisciplinary discussions to drive the development of the next generation of biomaterials for improved oral health care solutions.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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 2700 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.
