Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials and biomechanics engineering principles have played a pivotal role in enhancing our understanding of implant–bone interactions, implant stability, and the mechanical behavior of implant systems.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that explores the modelling of biomaterials and biomechanics in the field of dental implant rehabilitation with the goal of advancing our understanding and improving the material and design performance of dental implant systems.
The Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Characterization and analysis of biomaterial properties for implant rehabilitation;
- Novel biomaterials applications for dental implants and coatings;
- Effect of material selection on the mechanical performance under static and dynamic loading conditions;
- Effect of material selection on the implant osseointegration and peri-implant tissues;
- Biomaterials performance under cyclic and impact loading conditions;
- Long-term mechanical performance and durability of dental implant biomaterials;
- Design and optimization of implant geometry for improved biomechanical performance;
- Load transfer mechanisms and stress distributions throughout the implant body;
- Clinical validation and translation of materials and mechanics research in dental implantology.
We believe that it will provide a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of research findings, methodologies, and advancements in biomaterials and biomechanics engineering for dental implantology.

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.
