Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The progress in biomaterials applied in dental sciences associated with bioengineering has permitted the evolution of the materials used for graft procedures (bone or soft tissue), reconstructions (implants and plates), composites, ceramics, and other applications. New biomaterials are being developed or modified to show improvements and tests are necessary to test the properties and biocompatibility of these materials.
Comprehension of the advances in biomaterials would lead to appropriate applications in clinical cases and successful strategies to improve dental treatment outcomes to better serve patients. Choosing the appropriate biomaterial and its successful clinical use directly affect treatment outcome and long-term results.
The objectives of all these biomaterials and technologies are not only to replace missing or damaged tooth tissues but are also now to promote tissue regeneration and protect healthy tooth tissue. There are many areas of research that can benefit from the use of biomaterials. They offer potential for tissue regeneration, such as the use of stem cells, which facilitates tissue repair.
Thus, we invite articles studying biomaterials applied to any area of dentistry in other to increase our knowledge and clinical capability.

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.
