Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Materials, titled "Development and Research of New Dental Materials", focuses on the dynamic and evolving field of dental material science. It will highlight the latest advancements in the development, characterization, and application of innovative dental materials designed to meet the ever-growing demands of modern dentistry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, new composites, ceramics, polymers, adhesives, bioactive materials, and metal alloys with enhanced mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and longevity.
We welcome research that explores novel fabrication techniques, surface treatments, and functionalization methods to improve material performance in the challenging oral environment. Studies investigating the interaction between dental materials and biological tissues, as well as their clinical performance in restorative, prosthetic, and regenerative dentistry, are particularly encouraged, alongside work on preventive dentistry materials, such as remineralizing agents and coatings.
By gathering cutting-edge research and critical reviews, this Special Issue aims to provide insights that will shape the future of dental materials and improve patient outcomes. Researchers and clinicians are invited to submit original studies, comprehensive reviews, and case reports to contribute to this vital and rapidly advancing field.

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.
