Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, growing attention has been paid to the development of materials in the fields of both periodontology and implant dentistry. Dental implants with modified surfaces are a solid acquisition in dental implantology; however, research efforts continue to be made to continuously develop higher performing materials for both the endosseous and transmucosal parts of dental implants. The characteristics of dental implants’ (and their components) materials greatly influence their performance both in terms of osseointegration and integration with soft tissues. This aspect is still a main concern in implant research since these materials can influence the maintenance of peri-implant health in the long term. Furthermore, biomaterials for both periodontal and peri-implant regeneration represent a research field of great interest for both clinicians and developers since they are routinely adopted in daily clinical practice. This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest news regarding these topics and provide new insights for future research in the field. Both pre-clinical and clinical research, but also review articles, regarding materials of dental implants, their components, and biomaterials for periodontal and peri-implant regeneration are welcome for submission.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
