New Trends in Biomaterials and Implants for Dentistry (3rd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Biomaterials and dental implants form part of a dental surgeon's arsenal of resources for the treatment and rehabilitation of atrophic bone ridges. The aim of this Special Issue is to present the current scenario of new trends in products, processes and techniques related to biomaterials and implants for use in dentistry. For this, we invite manuscripts that focus on a wide range of issues and concerns regarding the subject of the Special Issue, including, but not limited to, the following: bone substitutes, biologic modulators for bone and soft tissue regeneration, scaffolds, resorbable and non-resorbable membranes for guided bone and tissue regeneration, collagen matrices, implant surfaces, implant surgery, implant macrostructures and titanium mesh. In vitro, in vivo (animal) and clinical human studies will be accepted for evaluation, as well as systematic literature reviews that address the topic of this Special Issue.
