Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am glad to introduce the Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Dental Implants, Tissue Engineering and Prosthetic Materials” for the Materials journal. The focus of this Special Issue will be on basic research and clinical applications related to advances in biomaterials in the fields of implantology, including the prosthetic aspects and tissue engineering to optimize the clinical results. For that reason, the biomaterials involved in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine will also be focused on in this Special Issue.

Nevertheless, these different aspects are related to the improvement of implantology treatment outcomes, with a direct relationship between basic research and applied clinical practice.

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.

Grit basting is the most common process applied to titanium dental implants to give them a roughness that favors bone colonization. There are numerous studies on the influence of roughness on osseointegration, but the influence of the compressive residual stress associated with this treatment on biological behavior has not been determined. For this purpose, four types of surfaces have been studied using 60 titanium discs: smooth, smooth with residual stress, rough without stress, and rough with residual stress. Roughness was studied by optic interferometry; wettability and surface energy (polar and dispersive components) by contact angle equipment using three solvents; and residual stresses by Bragg–Bentano X-ray diffraction. The adhesion and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels on the different surfaces were studied using Saos-2 osteoblastic cultures. The bacterial strains Streptococcus sanguinis and Lactobacillus salivarius were cultured on different surfaces, determining the adhesion. The results showed that residual stresses lead to increased hydrophilicity on the surfaces, as well as an increase in surface energy, especially on the polar component. From the culture results, higher adhesion and higher ALP levels were observed in the discs with residual stresses when compared between smooth and roughened discs. It was also found that roughness was the property that mostly influenced osteoblasts’ response. Bacteria colonize rough surfaces better than smooth surfaces, but no changes are observed due to residual surface tension. Full article

Regenerative techniques are increasingly applied in endodontic surgery, but different materials may have varying impacts on soft and hard tissue healing. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) in clinical and radiographic healing after endodontic surgery. The data for this systematic review were processed following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for improving the reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses. A literature search was conducted until October 2023 on PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Databases. Randomized controlled trials and controlled clinical trials addressing the use of APCs in patients who presented persistent periapical lesions and needed periapical surgery were included. Dual publications, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, case series, questionnaires, animal studies, case reports, letters to the editor, in vitro studies, and abstracts were excluded. In total, the search resulted in 14 papers. Clinical and radiographical findings were reported, showing that when APCs were used, patients exhibited less pain and swelling and a greater reduction of apical radiolucency after 12 months follow-up on average. However, the moderate/high risk of bias of included studies and their high heterogeneity, do not allow one to draw definitive conclusions on the effectiveness of APC after endodontic surgery.
