Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute your valuable work to the Special Issue “Biomaterials and Agents: Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications in Dental Research, 2nd Edition”.

Novel biomaterials and pharmaceutical agents for the effective regeneration/remineralization and protection of dental tissue are a focus of biomedical science. One of the most important research directions in modern therapeutic and preventive dentistry is the search for methods to preserve and gently restore or to reproduce the natural structure and morphology of natural enamel, dentin and cement. As a result, the main modern non-invasive dental tissue regeneration/restoration strategy, including biomimetics, is focused on the reconstruction of mineralized tissue, as well as on its preventive protection. Currently, great attention is paid to smart, bioactive and bioresponsive agents, materials and composites in order to provide on-demand therapy with improved control of dosage, location, duration and efficiency of effect.

This Special Issue focuses on the problems and challenges associated with the creation, use and modification of new smart biomaterials, hybrid interfaces and protective layers, as well as agents for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications in dental research. This Special Issue also welcomes papers related to the study of the effects of drugs on mineralized tissues of the human body and related processes.

Research articles, reviews and 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. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Pharmaceutics 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 2900 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.
