Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Our disciplines are undergoing major changes, moving towards increasingly effective regenerative medicine. There are many bioengineered tissues, some of which are used in therapeutics, diagnostics and biocompatibility testing. They are also a solution for reducing the need for animal testing.

In this context, it is interesting to bring together in this special edition recent advances in the field of oral tissue bioengineering. New materials, new technologies, models developed or under development, organoids, microfluidics—these are just some of the areas to be explored and developed here.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of dental materials that promote tissue healing while exhibiting antimicrobial properties. The focus is on materials that are biocompatible, bioactive, and non-toxic to host cells, with demonstrated bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities. Current advances in natural bactericides, antimicrobial polymers, and bioactive glass/polymer composites are summarized, along with techniques employed for surface modification and the coating of dental implants. Three major categories of antimicrobial coatings were identified: antibacterial phytochemicals, synthetic antimicrobial agents (including polymers and antibiotics), and metallic nanoparticles. Bioactive coatings were further examined to identify potential antimicrobial strategies within these materials, and existing research gaps were highlighted. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science for articles published between January 2010 and June 2025. Overall, this review underscores the growing potential of multifunctional dental materials that integrate bioactivity with antimicrobial performance, offering promising directions for the development of next-generation restorative and implant materials.
