Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The development of advanced implant technologies plays a crucial role in improving patient outcomes in both orthopaedics and dentistry. With the growing demand for more durable, biocompatible, and functional implants, significant research efforts have been directed toward material innovations, surface modifications, and enhanced integration with biological tissues.

This Special Issue focuses on recent achievements and future perspectives in the field of orthopaedic and dental implants. It aims to highlight advancements in biomaterials, fabrication techniques, biomechanical performance, and clinical applications. Papers from various disciplines with a common interest in implant technology are invited, including but not limited to the following topics:

  • Novel biomaterials for orthopaedic and dental implants, including biodegradable and bioactive materials;
  • Surface modifications to enhance osseointegration and antimicrobial properties; 
  • Advanced fabrication techniques, such as additive manufacturing and nanotechnology applications; 
  • Biomechanical performance and long-term stability of implants; 
  • Innovative coating technologies to improve implant functionality; 
  • Computational modelling and simulations for implant design and optimization; 
  • Clinical outcomes and translational research in implantology.

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
