Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Periodontitis is the sixth most prevalent chronic disease globally and places significant burdens on societies and economies worldwide. It is characterized by clinical attachment loss, resulting in alveolar bone destruction, tooth loss, masticatory dysfunction, and, ultimately, impaired quality of life. Mechanical debridement through scaling and root planning is regarded as the gold standard non-surgical procedure for periodontal therapy, aiming to remove plaque biofilm, calculus, and endotoxins from the tooth surface. However, in cases of severe periodontal defects where hard and soft tissues are lost, it is crucial to implement measures that effectively promote new attachment formation and reconstruct periodontal supporting tissues.
The recent development of various biomaterials in the form of tissue engineering scaffolds has significantly advanced the repair and regeneration of damaged periodontal tissues. These innovations range from physical substrates that support the healing of localized periodontal tissues to multi-phase bioactive scaffold systems designed for integrated periodontium regeneration. This Special Issue aims to present an updated perspective on the latest advancements in biomaterials for the repair and regeneration of periodontal tissues. Contributions in various formats, including full research articles, clinical studies, or review articles, are encouraged and welcomed.

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. Journal of Functional Biomaterials 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.
