About this Research Topic
In recent years, various advanced biomaterials (e.g., bioactive ceramics/glasses, biodegradable metals, piezoelectric materials, self-healing hydrogels/elastomers, 2D nanomaterials) and technologies (e.g., additive manufacturing, stem cells, gene/growth factors delivery, surface modification, surface pattern, pore topology) have emerged and attracted extensive interest from worldwide researchers in biomaterials, biomedical engineering, and stomatology. Therefore, this research topic aims to collect the latest and innovative biomaterials and technologies for oral and maxillofacial regeneration, focusing on cutting-edge ideas and exploring novel dental biomaterials/techniques in advancing this topic.
The Research Topic welcomes contributions from multi-disciplinary research. We cordially invite authors to contribute original research articles, reviews, and bioinformatics-analysis research articles that are focused on, but not limited to, the following areas:
1. Advanced biomaterials in the regeneration of maxillofacial and periodontal bone defects
2. Novel biomaterials and technologies for tooth regeneration
3. Novel biomaterials and technologies for guided bone and tissue regeneration membranes
4. Surface modifications of dental implants Biomaterials for tooth, periodontal and maxillofacial bone tissue engineering
5. Gene therapeutic strategy for tooth, periodontal and maxillofacial bone regeneration
6. Stem cells therapeutic strategy for tooth, periodontal and maxillofacial bone regeneration
7. Biocompatibility evaluation of dental biomaterials
8. Regenerative biomaterials and technologies: future trends in tooth, periodontal and maxillofacial bone regeneration
Keywords: Advanced biomaterials, oral and maxillofacial regeneration, additive manufacturing, surface modification, biocompatibility evaluation of dental biomaterials, gene-based therapy, stem cells-based therapy
