Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Materials used in restorative dentistry have different expectations depending on the type of dental restoration. They are exposed to mechanical loads, as well as abrasive and erosive wear during the process of chewing. Furthermore, the oral environment is very aggressive towards the materials used in restorative dentistry, and is also exposed to a wide range of conditions when consuming food, such as variable temperatures and variable pH. Thus, corrosive and ageing resistance are also vital. Because they are used in the human body, it is also fundamental that they possess the appropriate biological properties in order to harm patient as little as possible, such as biocompatibility and minimum bacterial colonization on their surfaces. The aesthetics of such materials is also important. Modern dental materials should satisfy all of the above conditions to the highest extent possible.
For this Special Issue of Materials, subjects including, but limited to, the following are welcome for submission:
- Theoretical and experimental research, knowledge and new ideas in dental materials and their technologies;
- Properties of dental materials;
- Surface treatments of dental materials;
- Understanding the degradation mechanisms of dental materials;
- Computer modelling and simulation to predict mechanical properties of dental materials.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
