Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue "Recent Advances in Biomaterials for Restorative and Implant Dentistry" disseminates cutting-edge research and innovations in the field of dental biomaterials. Dental biomaterials play an essential role in modern dentistry, encompassing a wide range of applications, from restorative materials that replicate natural teeth to advanced implantable devices designed to restore oral health and aesthetics.

This Special Issue is dedicated to showcasing recent dental biomaterials research, shedding light on novel materials, advanced testing methodologies, and emerging trends. It acts as a bridge between academic research and practical applications, facilitating the translation of scientific breakthroughs into real-world solutions that benefit both dental practitioners and their patients.

We invite researchers and experts in the field to contribute original research articles and insightful reviews. The topics of interest include material design and synthesis,

biocompatibility assessments, mechanical and chemical properties, and the customization of biomaterials for patients’ specific needs. By bringing together these diverse contributions, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in dental biomaterials.

We invite you to collaborate on this exciting project, as we shape the future of dental biomaterials and their pivotal role in advancing oral healthcare worldwide.

Recently, the favorable electrical properties of biomaterials have been acknowledged as crucial for various medical applications, including both bone healing and growth processes. This review will specifically concentrate on calcium phosphate (CaP)-based bioceramics, with a notable emphasis on hydroxyapatite (HA), among the diverse range of synthetic biomaterials. HA is currently the subject of extensive research in the medical field, particularly in dentistry and orthopedics. The existing literature encompasses numerous studies exploring the physical–chemical, mechanical, and biological properties of HA-based materials produced in various forms (i.e., powders, pellets, and/or thin films) using various physical and chemical vapor deposition techniques. In comparison, there is a relative scarcity of research on the electrical and dielectric properties of HA, which have been demonstrated to be essential for understanding dipole polarization and surface charge. It is noteworthy that these electrical and dielectric properties also offer valuable insights into the structure and functioning of biological tissues and cells. In this respect, electrical impedance studies on living tissues have been performed to assess the condition of cell membranes and estimate cell shape and size. The need to fill the gap and correlate the physical–chemical, mechanical, and biological characteristics with the electrical and dielectric properties could represent a step forward in providing new avenues for the development of the next-generation of high-performance HA-doped biomaterials for future top medical applications. Therefore, this review focuses on the electrical and dielectric properties of HA-based biomaterials, covering a range from powders and pellets to thin films, with a particular emphasis on the impact of the various dopants used. Therefore, it will be revealed that each dopant possesses unique properties capable of enhancing the overall characteristics of the produced structures. Considering that the electrical and dielectric properties of HA-based biomaterials have not been extensively explored thus far, the aim of this review is to compile and thoroughly discuss the latest research findings in the field, with special attention given to biomedical applications.
