Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘Dental Biomaterials and Implants: Latest Advances and Prospects’, will explore cutting-edge research and innovation in dental biomaterials and implant technology. It will cover a wide range of topics involving the development of new biomaterials that improve biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and aesthetic outcomes in dental applications. This Special Issue will highlight advances in implant design, surface modifications, and coatings to improve bone integration and longevity in dental implants.
It will also cover the integration of digital technologies, such as 3D printing and computer-aided design, into the manufacture of customised dental implants and prostheses. The role of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering in promoting healing and regeneration in dental procedures will also be highlighted.
Contributions from both clinical and laboratory research should provide insights into the challenges and future directions in this field, including the potential for personalised dental care. By bringing together diverse perspectives, this Special Issue will foster collaboration and inspire further research that will ultimately improve patient outcomes and advance the field of biomaterials and dental implants.
