Bioactive Dental Restorative Composite Materials
This special issue belongs to the section "Dental Biomaterials".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to classify dental composite materials through unpublished review or research articles. Direct-filled or indirect-filled dental composites are widely used in dentistry. We invite articles that focus on a wide range of the fabrication and characterization of dental composites. This Special Issue includes the resin matrix, reinforcements (particles or fibers), fabrication methods, characterizations, silane treatment of fillers, modified monomers, etc. Both review and research articles focusing on dental composites and biomaterial engineering applications are welcome. We aim to cover the mechanical, physical, thermal, and tribological properties of biactive dental composites.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized 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.
