Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, the development of restorative materials has led to reliable and aesthetic restorations. Furthermore, multifunctional materials have been developed to inhibit secondary caries and dentin regeneration in operative dentistry.
New dental materials are constantly being developed for operative and endodontic treatment. Recent technological developments are expected to have future applications in aesthetic restoration, offering the appearance of natural teeth and functionality in preventing infectious diseases such as secondary caries and periodontal disease, combined with bioactivity properties such as the regeneration of dentin.
In addition, advanced clinical data and meta-analysis have provided new insights into several dental materials already used in operative dentistry.
For this Special Issue, we solicit current research that examines approaches to developing new or improved biomaterials in preventive medicine, bioengineering, health sciences, materials science, basic science, and clinical science related to operative dentistry. In addition, we invite reports highlighting new perspectives on dental materials using novel analytical methods.

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.
