Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology, referring to the development or application of particles with dimensions in the nanometer range, revolutionized the biomedical and dental field by improving mechanical and physical properties of materials, introducing new diagnostic modalities and targeted drug nano-delivery systems, as well as preventing diseases, and, therefore, improving oral health.
The incorporation of nanotechnology for the prevention and treatment of oral disease has enormous potential for enhancing the properties and mechanisms of action of currently available materials and therapeutics, or the development of novel therapeutics, or preventing oral diseases.
This Special Issue is focused on the use of nanotechnology and nanostructured materials in all fields of dentistry
Topics include, but are not limited to the following:
- Nanostructured dental materials with improved properties used in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, and endodontics;
- Nanostructured materials in preventive dentistry;
- Application of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials in diagnosis;
- Improved nanostructures of dental implants surface for fast osseointegration and prevention of bone loss and preimplant disease;
- Nanostructured materials for topical treatment in periodontal disease;
- Nanostructured materials for regenerative dentistry;
- Nanomaterials safety: cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and health hazards;
- Green nanotechnology and environmental sustainability.
We hope that new ideas will promote the fast development of this exciting topic and we invite you to submit your contributions to this Special Issue with the best of your research activities.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 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.
