Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental adhesives play a crucial role in modern restorative dentistry, particularly in resin-bonded restorations. However, challenges such as bonding durability, marginal integrity, and restoration longevity persist. Dentin/resin bonding is a critical aspect of restorative dentistry, and the hybrid layer plays a pivotal role in ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of adhesive restorations. However, bonding failures within the hybrid layer remain a significant challenge, compromising the durability and integrity of dental restorations. This Special Issue aims to explore innovative strategies, methodologies, and materials aimed at preventing dentin/resin bonding failure and enhancing the performance and longevity of adhesive restorations.
Scope: This Special Issue will encompass a comprehensive range of topics related to improving dental adhesives and the longevity of resin-bonded restorations, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advances in polymer chemistry and material science for developing next-generation dental adhesives;
- Novel adhesive systems and bonding agents for enhanced bond strength and durability;
- Characterization techniques for evaluating the quality and integrity of the hybrid layer;
- Surface treatments and priming agents to enhance adhesion to tooth structure and restorative materials;
- Biomimetic approaches and bioactive materials for enhanced integration and longevity of restorations;
- Clinical studies and long-term evaluations of de-restorations;
- Novel strategies for specific clinical scenarios and challenging substrates.
Target Audience: This Special Issue is tailored toward researchers, clinicians, dental practitioners, materials scientists, and industry professionals involved in adhesive dentistry, dental materials science, biomaterials engineering, and restorative dentistry.

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.
