Scientific Update on Nanomaterials in Dentistry

Dear Colleagues,

In dentistry, nanomaterials are used for various purposes such as improving the materials characteristics or giving new functions. As for adhesive materials, bond strength, bioactivity, and antibacterial properties could be improved by nanoparticles. Various nanofibers could be used for implant and resin, to improve the interaction of materials and tissue.     

With the development of medical and life science, various mechanisms of action and signaling pathways in the body have been identified. In addition, the interactions of the properties of materials (such as surface, phase, composition, etc.) with cell behavior have been investigated, and it is necessary to apply these results to nanomaterials.

In this Special Issue, we focus on nanomaterials for dental applications including materials design, synthesis, and characterizations. Additionally, we are interested in biological behaviors according to properties of materials, such as antibacterial, mineralization, hypersensitivity, and cell differentiation. We expect submissions from various researchers working on the nanomaterials science and engineering, biomaterials, bioengineering, and dentistry fields in this Special Issue.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2400 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.
