Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental medicine is a field that continuously evolves. To offer patients the most advantageous and suitable treatment solutions, practitioners have to keep up with these innovations. Thus, new materials allow increasingly “biomimetic” therapeutic solutions with a more natural appearance and ensure the optimal functionality of the oro-facial system. In addition, new technologies are used in “the digital revolution” to prefigure treatment plans and produce restorative solutions. Moreover, a combination of processing methods has become available, e.g., milling processes, 3D printing, pressing, and laser sintering. As a result, this Special Issue of Materials invites specialists in dentistry, physics, chemistry, biology, and material sciences to contribute b their multidisciplinary research results addressing innovative variants of materials and devices applied in dentistry. We believe that, at present, only interdisciplinary work will allow dental medicine to evolve. Dentists cannot practice without being aware of the properties of dental materials or the clinical relevance of the digital technologies involved in the restorative dental process.

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.
