Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled "Advanced Dental Materials for Oral Rehabilitation", will explore the latest innovations and developments in dental materials that are crucial for enhancing oral rehabilitation practices. Our goal is to bring together cutting-edge research that focuses on the design, synthesis, and application of novel materials that improve both the functional and aesthetic outcomes of dental restorations and prosthetics. We seek to address significant challenges in oral rehabilitation, such as the durability of materials under mechanical stress, biocompatibility with oral tissues, and the seamless integration of materials with biological tissues. Contributions will delve into advanced dental materials, including high-strength ceramics, polymer composites, bioactive glasses, and smart materials that respond to environmental stimuli. Research on innovative bonding agents and surface treatments that enhance the adhesion and longevity of dental restorations is also highly encouraged. This Special Issue will highlight interdisciplinary approaches that combine insights from materials science, biomedical engineering, and clinical dentistry. We aim to develop materials that not only meet the necessary mechanical and aesthetic requirements but also promote tissue regeneration and minimize adverse reactions.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in 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. Oral is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.

Background/Objectives: Bioactive materials are gaining increased popularity as materials of choice for pulpal regeneration. A similar trend is emerging with root repair materials; however, there is a significant gap in the literature about cementogenic ability of bioceramic repair materials on the periodontal ligament cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of bioceramic materials (Biodentine and Bio-C Repair) on the cementogenesis potential of the periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs). Methods: PDLSCs were isolated using the enzymatic digestion approach from sound extracted teeth. Material extracts were prepared on rubber discs and immersed in fresh growth medium for 24 h at 37 °C. Reverse transcription–quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of cementogenic markers cementum protein 1 (CEMP1), Cementum attachment protein (CAP), pathway markers transforming growth factor β1(TGF-β1), bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2), and inflammatory marker IL-6. Results: Both materials (Biodentine and Bio-C Repair) showed significantly higher gene expressions when compared to the control groups. The gene expression with Bio-C Repair significantly increased when compared with Biodentine, except for TGF-β1 expression, where both materials exhibited similar results. Conclusions: Bio-C Repair demonstrated increased gene expression of cementogenic markers compared to Biodentine under the tested conditions. Further in vivo studies are deemed necessary to translate the findings from this study into clinical practice. Full article
