Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the past, autologous bone was the only bone grafting material with osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties, but various bone grafting materials have now been developed and are being applied clinically.

This Special Issue will gather research on bone regeneration, focusing on the clinical application of novel and various bone grafting materials and the comparison of bone grafting materials in bone regeneration. Basic and clinical research, including animal studies, and review articles are welcome.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The aim of this study was to analyze the marginal bone loss and survival of implants in the augmented sinus area via the lateral window approach. The effect of sinus membrane perforation as well as splinting of the upper structure was analyzed. Two hundred and eighty-nine implants were placed in the sinus areas augmented with xenografts and collagen membranes in 101 patients. Clinical and radiographic data were obtained during recall visits. The Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) and Cumulative Survival Rate (CSR) were evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 12.4 years (range: 12 to 182 months). During the follow-up period, 19 implants were lost, yielding a 92.93% survival rate. No significant models for any of the covariates were found in terms of implant survival (p = 0.08). Similarly, no significant differences were observed between intact and perforated sinuses (p = 0.41) or between splinted or single standing implants (p = 0.11). The overall MBL reached 1.80 ± 0.56 mm at 15 years, and no significant differences were detected between any particular years (p = 0.12). Dental implant rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla via sinus augmentation using the lateral window technique is safe, effective and provides a high long-term implant survival with minimal prosthetic complications.
