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.

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. Osteology is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
