Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In regenerative dentistry, there is a wide choice of available materials that can be applied for hard and soft tissue augmentation. Each material presents its own advantages and disadvantages that mean they are suited only for specific situations. Consequently, there are no materials that can be applied as a gold standard for every treatment. Each patient needs to be diagnosed individually, and an appropriate material choice must be made by the clinician.
This Special Issue will focus on the recent advancements in the field of regenerative dentistry regarding in vitro, in vivo and clinical studies. The research should focus on resorbable biomaterials such as allografts, xenografts and synthetic materials that can be applied for regenerative applications in the oral cavity.
This Special Issue advocates for the development of functional biomaterials regarding their biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, nontoxicity, space-making ability, cell occlusion, tissue integration, biodegradation in consideration of the critical healing period and clinical manageability.
We encourage you to submit reviews and original research papers of your most creative work that has the potential to advance new developments in the field of functional biomaterials.

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.
