Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today's development of materials, and the development of nanotechnology and biocompatible materials in particular, has contributed to the emergence of better materials and procedures in medicine not only in the laboratory aspect but also in clinical use. Because of this, modern materials enable us to achieve better clinical success in treatment and better quality throughout the clinical period.
We have a large number of materials obtained through nanotechnology, with much better laboratory characteristics than older generation materials. Of particular note is the huge progress in composite materials for restorative dentistry, biocompatible materials for treatment and regeneration, new forms of dental ceramics and alloys, and, of course, huge progress in dental implantology. Osseointegrating materials enable bone and tissue replacement and, with biocompatible and advanced osteointegrating implants, solve the problems we had before. In order to significantly reduce the discrepancy between science and practice, the analysis of modern materials and treatment procedures between laboratory and clinical work is of crucial importance. Laboratory methods and results from the research of materials and their physical characteristics allow us to apply these same materials in clinical research, especially if it concerns biomedicine and related branches.
Therefore, I invite researchers of various professions involved in the clinical and laboratory analysis of modern materials and procedures in biomedicine and dentistry to contribute their scientific works to the advancement of science and technology so that we have better treatment methods to choose from.
Prof. Dr. Walter Dukić

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.
