Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Implant rehabilitation is a procedure in exponential evolution, fueled by a compelling social mandate for faster, more reliable, and more accessible solutions. The pursuit of biomimetic outcomes and easier-to-perform therapies leads clinicians to seek innovative solutions, occasionally not supported by enough established scientific certainties about the clinical and biological response. This implies a rapid evolution towards materials and operative procedures with incomplete understanding.
This Special Issue is marked by the desire to emphasize a critical and proactive reevaluation of the potential risks, benefits, and indications of innovative solutions, materials, and designs in prosthetic implant rehabilitation and its related regenerative procedures. New knowledge or confirmation of clinical and experimental results is being sought, with a focus on rehabilitation methods, design, and material usage. These factors significantly influence short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes, presenting benefits and complications that yield specific indications and limits. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to present studies exploring biological or mechanical complications or advantages, usage indications, and design considerations in rehabilitative procedures with dental implants, including regenerative methods.

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.
