Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of dentistry is constantly progressing and there is great promise in using autologous blood concentrates, stem cells, and biomaterials to advance tissue regeneration.
Autologous blood concentrates have the ability to improve wound healing and tissue regrowth, particularly in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This is due to their composition of growth factors and cytokines. Stem cells have potent regenerative capabilities and can mobilize the body's own reparative mechanisms for tissue restoration.
Biomaterials, such as bioactive ceramics, polymers, and composites, can fortify these biological resources and mimic the natural extracellular matrix. They promote cell attachment, growth, and differentiation, thereby laying the foundation for successful integration into the human body.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to showcase the potential of this powerful combination for tissue engineering in dentistry. The goal is to highlight innovative research developments in bioengineering and tissue regeneration. Ultimately, dentistry can shift from traditional treatments to a more regenerative model, which will enhance the future of dental care and improve the quality of life for patients.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
