Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital technologies have significantly changed the clinical approach to medicine and dentistry. Innovative operative techniques and restorative materials have paved the way to a significant active boost toward full digital workflows. Particularly, novel CAD/CAM dental materials offer numerous advantages such as excellent esthetic and optical properties, optimal mechanical resistance, and reliable accuracy and precision. They have widened the dental clinical scenario and have allowed for the introduction and use of innovative and less invasive restorative solutions in different fields of dentistry.
The introduction of intraoral scanners (IOSs) and advanced fabrication processes such as CAD/CAM restorations through CAD/CAM technologies and 3D printing has enabled the widening of innovative metal-free dental materials, offering the chance to substitute conventional metal frameworks and improving the biomimetic and esthetic outcomes of restorations and, most importantly, the comfort and wellness of patients.
The aim of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the state of the art of CAD–CAM and Bioactive Glass for Restorative and Prosthetic Dentistry, biomechanical and clinical studies, in vitro analyses for prosthetic and implanto-prosthetic rehabilitation, and their applications in different field of dentistry. The scope includes—but is not limited to—fundamental studies of related materials, structures, devices, and application issues. Both research and review articles are welcome.

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.
