Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, advances in nanotechnology and bioengineering have exponentially increased the range of biomaterials being developed for various applications in the ever-evolving field of dentistry. Although novel biomaterials are being fabricated continously, recent technological developments have resulted in significant improvements in the materials already employed in dental clinics; these include, but are not limited to, bioactive glasses, resins, and polymers, which are being assessed for future applications in periodontal and regenerative procedures, maxillofacial reconstruction, and implantology.
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of recent studies and reviews in the fields of bioengineering, health sciences, material sciences, and basic and clinical sciences that investigate the development of new or improved biomaterials for use in restorative and regenerative treatments, including implant therapy. Furthermore, we welcome the submission of studies that propose approaches to enhancing the osseointegration of dental implants via the utilization of bioactive materials or biomimetic implant surface modifications in order to modulate the early or delayed healing response.

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.
