Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to be able to invite you to submit a manuscript to the forthcoming Special Issue, Recent Advances in Laser Technology for Dental Materials and Biomedical Engineering, in the journal Materials (IF: 3.623). This Special Issue covers a wide variety of topics, from basic and applied research to laboratory and pre-clinical applications, related to applying various laser wavelengths for dental materials and related applications in bioengineering.
High-level laser beam interactions with different materials contribute to advanced material modification, improving dental materials’ properties and increasing their adhesion to biological tissues.
The application of laser technology for dental materials allows for novel applications in bioengineering for clinical use in medicine, veterinary medicine, and dentistry. Moreover, lasers can be used in biomedical engineering to enhance the properties of biomaterials used for soft and hard tissue reconstruction. Presently, a wide brand of various laser wavelengths is used for different therapeutical reasons in surgery, orthopedics, and dentistry. Laser dental material modification can be used to treat patients needing conservative, prosthetic, and orthopedic treatment, as well as for rehabilitation with dental implants.
The most advanced research and improvements in laser technologies for dental materials and biomedical engineering will be accepted in this Special Issue. Special attention will be paid to new procedures and approaches of laser technology for bioengineering, the pre-clinical and clinical application of lasers to achieve adhesion effects, and material properties in conservative, endodontic, prosthetic, orthodontic, and periodontal treatment. Studies displaying the effects of laser light and precisely describing the laser parameters, e.g., power, energy, fluence, power density, wavelength, pulse duration, repetition rate, and exposure time will also be considered.

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.
