Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Bone and dental hard tissue defects still remain a challenge in regenerative medicine. Moreover, modern materials used in endodontics and endoprosthodontics allow for the regeneration of dental tissues, which prolongs a tooth’s usefulness. The technological progress of materials influences the efficacy of implantology by supressing the resorption of alveolar bone. Modern technologies in materials are also successfully used in the case of mandible or maxilla reconstruction. 

The aim of this Special Issue should be discussed in articles on the possible use of mineralized tissue substitutes in biomedicine. The successful use of bone substitute material allows for the natural duplication of the bone cellular system. Better understanding of bony nanostructure contributes to the more efficient use of synthetic biomaterials as bone substitutes. Special attention will be paid to new methods of nanomaterials use in bone substitution, as well as their effectiveness in clinical procedures.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Characterization of bone substitute materials;
  • Application of bone substitute materials;
  • Biocompatibility assessment of bone substitute materials;
  • Physicochemical properties of bone substitute materials;
  • Nanoscale modifications of bone substitute materials;
  • Three-dimensional printing in bone regeneration;
  • Modern titanium alloys in maxilla or mandible reconstructions;
  • Materials in endodontic surgery;
  • Mechanical and biocompatible properties of CAD/CAM restorative materials;
  • Materials in osteosynthesis and implantology.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
