Translational Research on Dental Materials

Dear Colleagues,

Despite the developments of materials for dental applications, there are still many challenges to be addressed. We think that dental biomaterials research needs to be brought closer to real conditions to interact closer with dental practice. Hence, we invite you to contribute to this Special Issue on “Translational Research in Dental Materials” aimed at highlighting the recent progress in dental biomaterials which have high relevance especially to unmet clinical needs.

We expect original papers on your research, development, and possibly clinical experience with various biomaterials (metals, ceramics, composites, polymers), addressing materials processing (also including additive or subtractive manufacturing and surface modification), properties, validation and testing, in silico design and optimization, in vitro and in vivo studies, as well as clinical experience and feedback. We anticipate your team has results and data which will be of a huge practical and scientific interest for the community and business in this challenging area.

Please feel free to contact me or the editor Ms. Judy Zhou judy.zhou@mdpi.com for extra information.

Prof. Dr. Michael Gasik
Guest Editor

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.
