**Preface to "Recent Advances in Coatings of Implant and Dental Biomaterials"**

Recently, the development of coatings of implant and bone surfaces has received a significant amount of interest. The coating of implants may enhance osseointegration. Moreover, coating the surface of implants may provide antimicrobial effects. Various methods/techniques can be applied for coating dental/implant surfaces. Plasma splaying and electrospraying have been developed as coating methods, and a variety of materials have been applied for surface coatings. Growth factors have been used, along with bioactive glasses and ceramics. Similarly, bone surfaces have been coated using various methods to enhance the functionality of the graft material.
