Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Advances in Biomaterials for Oral and Dental Tissue Engineering”, examines the combined impact of materials, advanced techniques and engineered oral tissues.
Oral tissue engineering refers to the development of biomaterials for repair or regeneration utilizing tissue engineering technologies, and it is becoming a more prominent area of research. Currently, biologically inert materials are unable to fulfill clinical requirements; therefore, tissue-engineered biomaterials with bioactive properties are urgently needed.
In dental medicine, tissue reconstruction is of significant interest in oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics and daily clinical practice. Current clinical approaches involve various techniques, ranging from the traditional use of tissue grafts to more innovative regenerative procedures, such as tissue engineering.
This Special Issue explores the role of biomaterials used for oral tissue engineering, with particular emphasis being placed on hard and soft intraoral tissues. Further topics of interest include material characterization, modification, biocompatibility and biotoxicity.

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.
