Biomineralization of Dental Tissue

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great honor to introduce this Special Issue, “Biomineralization of Dental Tissue”. Researchers are welcome to submit their work. We will be happy to share your studies and to publish your research.

Bone (or hard tissue) metabolism occurs in the enamel, dentin, cementum, and alveolar bones. Enamel is formed by the interaction of various factors related to biomineralization. Various proteins are involved in the process of enamel formation, such as enamelin and amelogenin. Unlike enamel, dentin and cementum are both similar to bone and can be seen as a special hard tissue. Their formation involves tissue-specific gene expression such as that of DSPP. Although much research has been conducted on tooth-related hard tissue metabolism, there remains much to determine in the future.

Therefore, in this Special Issue, we are interested in the general field of tooth-related hard tissue metabolism. We also welcome studies related to the bone metabolism of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Any type of article, such as original articles, reviews, and case reports, is warmly welcome.

Dr. Song Je Seon

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.
