Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The dynamic field of dental materials is undergoing profound transformation, driven by the pursuit of personalized dentistry. Technological advancements play a pivotal role, introducing refinements and improvements that enhance and broaden the applications of a diverse array of materials such as composites, glass ionomer cements, ceramics, adhesives, implants, biomaterials for bone regeneration, mechanized endodontic files, bioceramic cements, and pulpal regenerative techniques and their associated materials. This evolution is crucial for the rehabilitation of tooth structures and the regeneration of oral tissues.
The advent of new dental materials is marked by innovations in polymeric options for composites and cements, novel nanostructures in ceramic materials, advanced superelastic alloys for endodontic files, and improved manufacturing processes. Additionally, advances in tissue engineering and novel approaches to clinical research for materials evaluation further contribute to this transformative landscape.
Despite continuous efforts to enhance existing products or develop novel ones with desirable properties, progress relies on a comprehensive understanding of existing materials. This Special Issue aims to compile articles presenting recent research advances, providing readers with valuable insights into ongoing developments in dental materials. Through these contributions, we seek to deepen the collective knowledge base and offer additional perspectives on the advancements shaping the future of dental materials in the pursuit of optimal patient care.

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.
