Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Implant dentistry is among the most widespread clinical practices in dentistry and has undergone significant developments in recent years and, ultimately, since its inception. Such improvements are strictly linked to advances in dental implant materials, not only intended for the materials that constitute the body of the dental implants and the prosthetic components, but also the biomaterials and materials in general that have found application in bone regeneration procedures and during surgical intervention. These significant developments in material sciences and biomaterials could be of outstanding importance in identifying new applications in implant dentistry, with the aim of substantially improving biocompatibility, the prevention of biological and technical complications, and the regenerative potential of our procedures.
This Special Issue, entitled “Dental Materials in Modern Implant Dentistry”, aims to collect the most up-to-date and innovative scientific papers (case reports/case series, prospective studies, retrospective studies, narrative reviews, or systematic reviews of the literature) in the field of the materials involved in implant dentistry.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Synthesis and production of dental materials;
- Implant surface and body characteristics;
- Biomaterials in implant dentistry;
- Biomaterials for bone regeneration: growth factors, bone substitutes, and stem cells;
- Materials involved in implant dentistry surgical procedures;
- The implant–abutment connection;
- The biological response to dental implants: diagnosis and treatment of peri-implant diseases;
- Adverse reactions to dental implant materials;
- Local and systemic risk factors involved in the biological response to dental implants.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
