Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue on "Properties and Applications of Oral Implant Biomaterials". The development and refinement of biomaterials for oral implants are crucial for advancing dental treatments and enhancing patient outcomes. This field focuses on creating materials that not only integrate seamlessly with oral tissues but also withstand the mechanical demands of the oral environment.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest research and advancements in the properties, fabrication techniques, and applications of biomaterials used in oral implantology. The scope of this Special Issue includes studies on biocompatibility, mechanical strength, surface modifications, and bioactivity of various materials tailored for oral implants. We welcome submissions that provide insights into innovative materials, advanced processing methods, and clinical performance evaluations.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Development and characterization of new biomaterials for oral implants including bone substitutes and platelet concentrates;
- Surface modification and coating techniques for enhanced biocompatibility and bioactivity in the oral environment;
- Mechanical properties and wear resistance of oral implant materials;
- Smart and multifunctional biomaterials for dental applications;
- Clinical applications and case studies of oral implant biomaterials;
- Biodegradable and bioresorbable materials for temporary dental implants.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
