Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in regenerative medicine, digital dentistry, and materials science are rapidly transforming the landscape of bone augmentation and dental implantology. The growing clinical demand for the predictable reconstruction of alveolar defects, combined with the limitations of traditional grafting materials, highlights the need for next-generation biomaterials and customizable 3D-printed constructs. Innovations in additive manufacturing, bioactive scaffolds, surface-engineered implants, and hybrid biomaterial systems are reshaping contemporary approaches to tissue regeneration. Collectively, these developments hold significant promise for enhancing osteogenesis, improving implant stability, and enabling more efficient, patient-specific therapeutic solutions.
This Special Issue aims to present state-of-the-art research and comprehensive reviews focused on advanced biomaterials and innovative 3D-printed solutions for bone augmentation and implant-related therapies. This topic aligns closely with the journal’s scope by integrating regenerative strategies and prosthetic rehabilitation to achieve superior clinical outcomes. By bringing together perspectives from materials science, bioengineering, oral surgery, and prosthodontics, this Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of how modern biomaterials and fabrication technologies can be translated into predictable and clinically relevant regenerative solutions.
We welcome contributions that explore fundamental biological mechanisms, advanced material characterization, in vitro and in vivo performance, clinical applications, and emerging digital innovations.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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. Prosthesis 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 1800 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.
