Numerical and Experimental Biomechanical Characterization of Implant Dentistry Materials

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue on the topic “Numerical and Experimental Biomechanical Characterization of Implant Dentistry Materials” (IF: 3.74). Today, dentists, dental implant designers, and clinicians can benefit from recent advances in the numerical and experimental characterization of materials for implantology so that they can safely implement these advances in the clinical setting. Therefore, the characterization of implantology materials is essential to have an excellent clinical performance, either through mechanical tests (static, dynamic or fatigue), in vitro or in vivo tests and clinical trials with randomized controls. All these tests require all the current techniques of experimental mechanics, numerical simulation with the finite element method (FEM, metaphysical simulation, statistical & particle modeling) and the latest image-based techniques (digital image correlation, photoelasticity, CAD-CAM, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy).

This special edition welcomes high-quality original articles, communications and review articles focused on advanced experimental mechanics, numerical simulations, clinical studies, digital technologies and available systems for dental implantology, with the aim of improving dental treatment options and dental care.

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-anonymized 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.
