Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental biomaterials are rapidly evolving. Their introduction into clinical practice is relatively recent. Current research on dental biomaterials include clinical studies on human models that evaluate graft–host interactions regarding biomaterials already approved for clinical applications and basic and translational studies regarding new frontiers in bioengineering, like three-dimensional bioprinting. The first group of investigations includes research on alveolar ridge augmentation, bone tissue engineering, orthodontic tooth movement into regenerated bone, root canal treatment with bioactive cements, periodontal ligament replacement, and so forth.
The second group of works includes in vitro and in vivo animal studies on newly developed biomaterials consisting of a combination of stem cells in bioactive scaffolds and nanostructured materials. These biomaterials are produced either by three-dimensional bioprinting or by cell seeding after stereolithographic production of the scaffold.
The objective of the present Special Issue is twofold: collecting evidence on both the present clinical usage of biomaterials and its implications in current and future clinical practice.
Any innovative clinical, basic, or translational research study dealing with imaging, testing, or modeling of dental biomaterials is of interest to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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.
