Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent times, preventive and restorative procedures have evolved from surgical preparations to the healing and remineralisation of hard dental tissues. The materials used should be not only biocompatible, but also bioactive, thereby provoking an adequate tissue response, leading to the remineralisation of dental hard tissues (enamel, dentin and cement), defects, and pulp tissues. Preventive materials, such as CPP/ACP, bioactive glass, tricalcium phosphate or xylitol, among others, can promote the remineralisation and healing of hard dental tissues and affect saliva microbiotic flora. Some restorative materials can remineralise caries lesions and heal infected pulp tissue without decreasing their mechanical properties. The aim of this Special Issue is to spotlight the recent advances in the development of biocompatible/bioactive dental materials, their action, and mechanical properties

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.
