Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to present this Special Issue on “Biomaterials for Oral Health Maintenance: A Translational Approach”, published by Bioengineering (ISSN, IF), an international open access peer-reviewed journal related to bioengineering in all its fields of application.
The evolution of preventive systems for maintaining oral cavity homeostasis has enabled both hard and soft tissue integrity. Translational research allows for the in vivo analysis of all biomaterials tested in the laboratory to increase clinician expertise and provide greater comfort to patients. We welcome high-quality original research and review articles focused on (but not limited to) the following subtopics:
- Dental biomaterials;
- Oral health;
- Biomaterials and systemic pathologies;
- Biomaterials and microbial charge;
- Biomaterials and immune response;
- Biomaterials supporting therapeutic interventions;
- Technology-supported biomaterials.
This Special Issue aims to collect innovative research regarding oral mucosal health, innovative remineralization systems, and the use of slow-release biomaterials to restore restitutio ad integrum in periodontal and peri-implant tissues for the scientific community.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
