Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human teeth have a more complicated structure, better mechanical properties, and better biocompatibility than all dental restorative materials invented to date. Understanding the various mechanical properties of natural teeth is the basis of dental restoration material research and can provide a reference for evaluating the mechanical properties of new dental materials. The history of dentin substitute materials started with calcium hydroxide and its ability to form reparative dentin. Later, glass ionomer cements (GICs) were introduced, which advanced the era of restorative dentistry. Along with the modification of GIC materials came improvements in their physical and mechanical properties to withstand occlusal forces. Currently, different, newer dentin substitutive materials are being introduced with improved mechanical and functional properties. Biodentin, smart dentin replacement materials (SDRs), and bio-active glass are some examples. Dentin substitutes are designed to be biocompatible, impermeable, anti-bacterial, regenerative, non-absorbable, and easy to manipulate.
To date, a material that can completely take the place of human teeth with regard to biological and mechanical properties has not yet been developed.
The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss new dentin materials and their clinical possibilities. Both research and review articles focusing on the properties, evaluation, and development of dentin materials are welcome.

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.
