Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute research and review articles highlighting innovative approaches and essential findings in implant dentistry and peri-implant health.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in biomaterials and biofabrication techniques in oral medicine, periodontology, and implant dentistry. By bringing together researchers and clinicians from different disciplines, we aim to foster collaboration and facilitate the translation of innovative research findings into clinical practice to ultimately improve patient care and outcomes in oral health and regenerative medicine.
Original research articles addressing the development and characterization of novel biomaterials for oral tissue engineering and regeneration; review articles summarizing the latest advances in biofabrication techniques and their applications in oral surgery, periodontology, and implantology; studies examining the use of stem cells and growth factors in conjunction with hydrogel scaffolds to promote tissue regeneration and osseointegration; prospects for the clinical implementation of hydrogel-based therapies and their impact on improving patient outcomes in oral medicine and implant dentistry; and investigations into the role of digital planning and additive manufacturing technologies in the customization of hydrogel scaffolds for patient-specific treatment approaches are welcomed.

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.
