Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of 3D Tissue Models and Biomaterials for Oral Soft Tissue Regeneration has become a promising area of research in the regenerative medicine field. These innovative approaches aim to provide solutions for repairing and replacing damaged oral soft tissues, such as gums and mucosa, which are often affected by various oral diseases and injuries.
By utilizing advanced techniques such as 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering, researchers are able to create complex and functional tissue models that closely mimic the structure and function of natural oral soft tissues. Biomaterials play a crucial role in these tissue regeneration strategies, as they provide a scaffold for cell growth and tissue formation. These materials can be designed to have specific properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical strength, essential for promoting tissue regeneration and integration in the oral environment. By mimicking the structure and function of natural oral tissues, these models and materials offer promising solutions for improving oral soft tissue regeneration procedures and developing personalized therapies for patients in need.

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.
