Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The philosophy of dental care toward prevention and minimally invasive restorative approaches by promoting remineralization is a critical element of dental treatments. Achieving oriented and ordered remineralization of demineralized dental enamel–dentin and restoring the sound tooth's good properties (mechanical, chemical, and morphological) are still challenges for dentists. With the progress in understanding the biomineralization of dental hard tissue, it will become possible to develop a biomimetic remineralization strategy by simulating the biomineralization process. A pure solution-based approach is not feasible for application in clinical dentistry. Therefore, research on the problem and progress associated with translating a scientifically sound concept into a clinically applicable approach is in order.
This 2nd Edition of the Special Issue aims to continue collecting contributions from different laboratories working on biomimetic remineralization and biomimetic restorations. Covering issues ranging from proof-of-concept to clinical translation, it provides an updated view of the potential strategies that would allow for the transfer of biomimetic remineralization and restoration methods into the dental clinic. The present collection of papers takes advantage of the open access format and is expected to provide a paradigm of the power of biomimetic approaches for discovering new and important research avenues and innovative solutions in nanotechnology and dentistry.
We believe this initiative will fill an essential gap in biomimetic remineralization, and the clinical delivery system will stimulate enthusiastic contributions from leading experts in the field.

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. Biomimetics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
