Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental materials have undergone profound advances in recent years. In terms of prevention, restoration, and endodontics, functional materials play an important role in treatment planning and outcomes.
Recently, functional materials have been used in various applications within the biomedical field and are expected to be useful in dentistry as well.
Since enamel and dentin do not have regenerative capabilities, decaying tissue must be restored with direct and indirect restorative materials such as resin composites, glass ionomers, ceramic-based materials, alloys, and ceramics. Some of these materials may have functional properties. In particular, functional materials can be utilized to promote the survivability and longevity of restorations due to their adaptation and interaction with dental tissues.
Their capabilities include the inhibition of biofilm formation, the promotion of remineralization, the inhibition of collagen enzymatic degradation, adaptability and biocompatibility without the side effects of toxic therapeutic agents, and the reinforcement of prosthetic materials.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials highlights the latest research on the development of novel functional materials and advanced applications of restorative 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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
