Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
One of the biggest challenges in the medical and dental fields is the morphological and functional recomposition of injured tissues. Due to the characteristics of lesions, reconstruction does not occur by itself. Therefore, scientific research and the industry deal with this challenge, aiming to improve patient health. The research takes place in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary manner, with significant participation from several areas of dentistry and medicine, as well as chemistry, materials science, and engineering, among others. The production of polymers for use in tissue engineering must integrate the basic sciences with the study areas of various pathologies and clinical areas in a translational way. Therefore, this Special Issue is dedicated to breaking down scientific barriers via scientific articles that promote the dissemination of information regarding polymeric materials of any origin, natural or synthetic, from their development and production to clinical applicability.
This Special Issue is dedicated to reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical and pre-clinical studies regarding the different uses of polymers in medicine and dentistry.
