Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well recognized that dental biomaterials are in a state of continuous evolution. Fundamental processes, such as biocompatibility, corrosion, and adhesion, depend on the biomaterial’s surface properties (chemistry, surface energy, morphology, hardness, roughness, etc.). There are several conventional techniques that can be used to assess these properties, and new tools have been developed so as to probe the surface at the nano-level. Thus, knowledge and control of the surface properties are essential for the long-term success of restorative procedures.
This Special Issue seeks papers related to recent developments in the field of the surface analysis of dental biomaterials. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, ceramics, dental alloys, bioceramics, polymers, composites, 3D printing dental materials, and bio-inks.

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.
