Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral health is a crucial aspect of overall wellbeing, and advanced materials play a significant role in improving oral care. Research on advanced materials for oral applications is essential as it aims to develop innovative solutions for addressing oral health issues more effectively.
Currently, researchers are exploring various advanced materials such as bioactive ceramics, nanocomposites, and hydrogels for applications in dentistry. These materials offer unique properties such as enhanced strength, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial effects, making them ideal for use in dental restorations, implants, and drug delivery systems.
However, despite progress being made in this field, researchers are facing challenges such as biocompatibility, long-term stability, and cost-effectiveness of advanced materials for oral applications.
In conclusion, research on advanced materials for oral applications is vital for improving oral health outcomes and patient care. By addressing the existing challenges, researchers can continue to advance the field and develop new materials that offer superior performance and benefits for oral health.

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.
