Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to contribute to the Special Issue titled "Biomechanical Studies and Biomaterials in Dentistry (2nd Edition)" in the Journal of Functional Biomaterials. The integration of biomechanics and biomaterials in dentistry has led to significant advancements, resulting in improved patient outcomes and innovative treatment approaches. With the advent of cutting-edge technologies and novel materials, the dental field is experiencing a paradigm shift towards more personalized and effective treatments. This Special Issue aims to feature these advancements by introducing the latest research and developments from around the world, providing a platform for high-quality studies that push the boundaries of current knowledge and practice in dental biomechanics and biomaterials.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest research and developments in this interdisciplinary area. The focus includes the following topics:
- Biomechanical analysis: studies on the mechanical properties of dental materials and their behavior under various physiological conditions.
- Innovative biomaterials: the development and characterization of new biomaterials that enhance dental treatments and patient comfort.
- Clinical applications: case studies and clinical trials showcasing the application of biomechanical principles and advanced biomaterials in dental practice.
- Computational modeling: the use of computational tools to simulate and predict the performance of dental biomaterials in clinical scenarios.
- Regenerative dentistry: research on biomaterials that supports tissue regeneration and repair within the oral cavity.
- Nanotechnology in dentistry: the exploration of nanomaterials and their potential to revolutionize dental treatments.
Through this Special Issue, we aim to bring together researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals to share their insights and findings. We invite authors to submit original research articles and comprehensive reviews that align with the theme of this Special Issue. Together, let us advance the frontiers of dental biomaterials and biomechanics for the benefit of patients and the broader medical community.

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.
