Biocements for Medical/Dental Purposes

Dear Colleagues,

In medical and dental fields, cements or biocements are substances that could set/harden and bind with other biomaterials for some specific and functional purposes, such as luting, restoring, and lining. Such a class of biocements could be purely inorganic, purely organic, or blended inorganic/organic substances in chemical nature. In this topical collection, all review or research articles on biocements are welcomed. Emphasis should be put on, but not limited to, chemical, physical, biological, clinical, theoretical, and mechanical aspects, and multi-disciplinary approaches to biocements. The Topical Collections is keen on providing a platform to record, exchange and share the scientific knowledge and evidence via the open access, Journal of Functional Biomaterials, and targets to maintain the impact of biocements.
