Biomaterials and Bioengineering in Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

Over recent decades, advances in nanotechnology and bioengineering have exponentially increased the range of biomaterials being developed for various applications in the ever evolving field of dentistry. Although newer biomaterials are continually being developed, recent technological developments have resulted in significant improvements in the materials that are already being used in dental clinics including, but not limited to, bioactive glasses, resins, and polymers that are being assessed for future applications in periodontal and regenerative procedures, maxillofacial reconstruction, and implantology.

This Special Issue invites recent studies and comprehensive reviews from the fields of bioengineering, health sciences, material sciences, and basic and clinical sciences which investigate approaches aimed at developing new or improved biomaterials intended for use in restorative and regenerative treatments, including implant therapy. Furthermore, studies around approaches that can enhance osseointegration of dental implants through utilisation of bioactive materials or biomimetic implant surface modifications to modulate early and delayed healing response are also invited.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
