Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Polymers and resin composites have been used since the last century in many applications, but in particular in oral health to restore the loss of dental and mucosal tissues, where their evolution, particularly in terms of their chemistry, the introduction of new modes of polymerization allowing improved mechanical and physicochemical properties, and improved biocompatibility have enabled them to take a prominent place among the biomaterials used in dentistry. Since the 80s, with the first crown machined by Dr F Duret, the development of the digital workflow has continued, becoming, by today, a daily tool for practitioners due to simplifying clinical procedures and new therapeutic strategies.
The purpose of MATERIALS (IF 3.4, ISSN 1996-1944) is to promote creative research and the eminence of knowledge, and the journal has established itself as a significant contributor to research communities and societies. This Special Issue aims to bring together the latest research in all related fields of “Advanced Polymeric Materials Studies for Oral Health” from leading experts in the field. We hope you will be able to accept this invitation positively and look forward to hearing from you soon. Full papers, communications and reviews are all welcome.

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.
