Materials in Implant Dentistry and Regenerative Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

The introduction of new materials in implant dentistry and regenerative medicine has contributed to the development of this field of health sciences.  Today, the use of dental implants is a predictible treatment of edentulous patients. The characterization of macroscopic design and microscopic surface of dental implants has improved  the biologic mechanisms of osseointegration.  Biomechanical behavior assesses the functional response of components of prosthetic dental implants. The clinical applications of materials in regenerative medicine, as bone grafts and substitutes  (i.e. xenografts, alografts, aloplastic), have increased the healing of  hard and soft tissues after surgery of bone defects and have reduced the time of treatment of patients.

I invite you to submit research papers, short communications or systemic reviews within the scope of this Special Issue. Original contributions can range from scientific basis, experimental studies and clinical applications of materials in implant dentistry and regenerative medicine.

Prof. Dr. Eugenio Velasco-Ortega
