Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on Advanced Functional Materials in Dentistry aims to examine the most recent advances in materials science that are influencing the future of dental treatments. The dental field is currently undergoing a transformative phase, with the advent of functional materials that enhance both the performance and esthetics of dental restorations and prosthetics. This Special Issue will cover a broad spectrum of innovations, including bioactive materials that promote tissue regeneration and nanomaterials that offer superior durability and antibacterial properties. By focusing on materials that not only mimic the natural properties of teeth but also introduce advanced functions, we aim to highlight research that bridges the gap between material science and clinical applications. We invite submissions that explore novel materials, their biological interactions, and their potential to revolutionize both preventative and restorative dental care.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
