Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment goal of oral and maxillofacial reconstructive surgery following oral–maxillofacial resection and/or defects due to various congenital or acquired lesions such as tumors, neoplasm, trauma, infection or anomaly is to reconstruct/replace normal and healthy oral and maxillofacial bone and soft-tissue volume and structures. These reconstructed tissues should be functionally stable and well vascularized to undergo normal homeostasis. Regenerative technology is at the forefront of our medical and dental research. Polymer-based regenerative biomaterials such as bioresorbable and biodegradable osteosynthetic fixation systems or boney reconstruction implant materials have recently been considered to be effective bone regenerative reconstruction systems that offer several advantages over conventional materials. Currently, four main types of reconstructive materials are available to clinicians for oral–maxillofacial regenerative application in oral and maxillofacial surgery: autologous bone, allogenic bone, xenogenic bone, and alloplastic bone. In addition, stem cells, bioactive agents, and growth factors are now being widely used to stimulate osteoinductive/osteoconductive regenerative properties of native bone and various biomaterials for active bone regeneration.
For this Special Issue, I would like to feature any original research articles from clinical studies as well as in vitro and in vivo studies, reviews, short reports, or opinion pieces from researchers interested in these research topics of “Oral and Maxillofacial Regenerative Materials”.

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.
