Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral regenerative surgery is a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of clinical practice, biomaterial science, and tissue engineering. Over the last decades, significant advances have been made in the development of novel approaches to promoting healing and regeneration in oral tissues, with a particular focus on bone, soft tissues, and periodontal structures. These innovations are driving a paradigm shift in the management of oral pathologies from traditional methods of tissue repair to more sophisticated, biologically driven regenerative therapies. New materials, growth factors, stem cell-based strategies, and gene therapy techniques are transforming the landscape of oral surgery, offering more predictable outcomes and improved functional recovery.
This Special Issue will explore the latest research and clinical advancements in the field of oral regenerative surgery, highlighting new technologies and treatment modalities designed to enhance tissue regeneration, minimize patient morbidity, and reduce the need for grafting or prosthetic interventions. Possible topics include advances in 3D bioprinting, the use of scaffold materials and biologically active molecules, the role of stem cells in tissue regeneration, and the integration of regenerative techniques into complex reconstructive procedures. We will also address the emerging role of personalized medicine and regenerative approaches in addressing challenging conditions such as severe periodontitis, traumatic injuries, and congenital defects. The ultimate goal of these innovations is to improve long-term outcomes and quality of life for patients, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, researchers, and engineers in pushing the boundaries of oral surgery.

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. Medicina is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
