Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decade or so, there has been a phenomenal boost in research for dental materials and dental tissues. This topic now covers a broad range of research domains, from engineering science such as microstructural and mechanical characterization, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing or numerical simulations to more biological science such as biocompatibility. A plethora of techniques are now routinely used with applications on dental materials and dental tissues including:

  • Characterization techniques for material composition and microstructure, such as spectroscopy (FTIR, AFM, XPS, DSC) and imaging (micro-CT, SEM, TEM);
  • Cytotoxicity tests and analytical techniques (HPLC, gas chromatography) to identify released products and material biocompatibility;
  • Mechanical testing of dental materials, tissues, and restored teeth;
  • Modeling tools such as finite element modeling (FEM).

In this Special Issue, we aim at gathering a selection of papers covering all aspects of dental materials and tissue characterization and modeling. The focus will be given to dental hard tissues (dentin and enamel) and to materials of particular interest such as 3D-printed materials (resins, metal alloys) and CAD–CAM composites and ceramics. Another interesting area would be restorative dentistry and prosthodontics research, highlighting differences in material degradation and durability or surface modification after manufacturing and including mechanical or biological aspects that can be explored through the interaction of surface with adhesive material or with biofilm in the oral environment.

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.
