Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There is an increasing need for dental and periodontal tissue regeneration. The intricate structure of dental tissues presents several challenges for the field of regenerative dentistry, despite significant advancements in regenerative therapies. Clinical dentists, cellular biologists, and material scientists are working collaboratively to develop strategies and discover remedies for dental tissue regeneration.
This Special Issue aims to highlight prevailing research regarding the development of functional biomaterials and extracellular matrices (ECMs) for the repair and regeneration of dental and surrounding tissues including enamel, dentin, pulpal tissue, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone.
These tailored functional biomaterials and ECMs can be fabricated in a variety of forms, including cell-encapsulating hydrogels, dense composites, porous scaffolds, decellularized matrices, and bioprinted 3D structures. The field also includes cutting-edge technologies for delivering drugs, biomolecules, and ions that can promote cellular responses such as proliferation, migration, and differentiation to specific lineages, all of which are beneficial for the healing and regeneration of dental and surrounding tissues.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 2900 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.
