Abstract　： In dentistry, we have a long history at using artificial materials for the restoration of teeth and rehabilitation in the mouth. During its long history, materials with excellent physical, mechanical, chemical, biological, and handling properties have survived for clinical application. Recently, modern dentistry has further extended the application of materials to artificial roots, bone augmentation, and the reconstruction of jaws. Additionally, the concept of the adhesion of restorative materials to teeth has made remarkable progress, and the biological properties of restorative materials have acquired greater importance. Therefore, materials used in dentistry are now expected to be revaluated as biomaterials with broader application. The subject of biomaterials is the scientific study of materials that are compatible with living tissues. The physical properties of materials, their chemical stability in the tissue environment, their surface configuration, tissue induction or lack thereof, and their potential for eliciting inflammation or a rejection response are all important factors in this area. Biocompatibility tests are critically performed prior to the clinical application of newly developed materials. For the tissue reconstruction related to implant surgery, biological tissue response to biomaterials is particularly important for the successful longitudinal service of dental implants. Furthermore, the importance of the concept of biomechanics, the load-force relationships of biomaterials in the oral cavity, has risen recently. This special issue "biomaterials" covers the recent topics of dental and oral biomaterials for their materials science, biocompatibility evaluations of materials in vitro and in vivo, and the new fabrication of prostheses using computer technology. I hope this issue can help readers to understand the current status of biomaterials and to engage in challenging research in this field in the future.
