Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will give an up-to-date view of the Biomechanics of Bone Tissue and Dental Implants, useful both for academic researchers and clinicians in their daily practice. Topics covered will include the different behaviors under loading of different types of bones, ranging from D1 to D4; the bone modeling and remodeling; and the importance of different implant shapes; thread configurations, implant–abutment connections, and implant surfaces for best achieving long-term implant success. The clinical implications and benefits for patients could be very significant and related to the understanding of optimal implant positioning (over the implant crest, at the level of the crest, under the crest), the use of the immediate loading and immediate post-extraction implants concepts and techniques, such as the healing of the alveolar socket. Also, what happens to peri-implant mineralized tissues in the long term (even more that 3 decades) will be discussed.
We welcome colleagues involved in this field to contribute original articles or reviews to this Special Issue.

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.
