Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rapid advancements in dental restorative materials have significantly enhanced the longevity, function, and aesthetics of dental restorations. Bioactive materials and bulk-fill composite resins have emerged as promising innovations, offering improved ease of use, durability, and biocompatibility. Bioactive materials, which interact with the biological environment, play a crucial role in enhancing remineralization and supporting the healing process of tooth structures. On the other hand, bulk-fill composite resins provide a more efficient and predictable approach to restorative procedures, allowing for faster and less technique-sensitive application, especially in deep cavities.
This Special Issue explores the latest developments in bioactive materials and bulk-fill composite resins, focusing on their clinical applications, material properties, and performance in restorative dentistry. Key areas of interest include advancements in the chemistry of these materials, their impact on clinical outcomes, and their role in enhancing patient care. We aim to provide a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research, clinical studies, and innovations that are shaping the future of dental restorative practices.
Dr. Carlos Enrique Cuevas Suárez

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
