The science of dental implantation integrates clinical dentistry and dental biomechanics, with artificial dental implant research and design involving biomechanical and physiological properties at both micro- and macroscopic levels. Successful dental implantation outcomes require careful consideration not only of geometric appearance and component design, but also of the quality of tissue surrounding the implant, implant material, surface treatment method, and biomechanical compatibility.

The type of tissue surrounding the implant dictates specific biomechanical considerations, with hard tissue implants involving dental treatment, maxillofacial surgery, mechanical design, and 3D printing techniques. Successful dental implantation requires a careful determination of both elastic and viscosity parameters, such as external load, stress and strain distributions, fatigue properties, and material modulus, as well as the viscosity, plasticity, and damping properties that affect the final performance of the implants.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a space for experts from around the world to share the latest discoveries in the field of biomechanical dental implantation, across the broad range of factors affecting the compatibility and overall success of biomechanical dental implants. We invite all researchers to submit original research and review articles and share with the scientific community their latest research findings and proposed directions for future application of dental implantation.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Development and performance of new mechanical methods used for dental implant stability assessment
• Mechanobiology and mechanotransduction-related research into the bone–implant interface
• Material properties of newly developed materials used for dental implantation
• Computer aided design and computer aided manufacture of various components used in dental implantation
• Design and biomechanical analysis of external fixation devices used in maxillofacial surgery
• Application of three-dimensional printing techniques for fabricating various dental prosthetics
• Numerical analysis of stress and loading response of bone and implant when loads are applied to a dental implant
• Biomechanical analysis of new surgical processes and guidelines for placing dental implants
• The impact of surface modification and micro-stress environments in successful dental implants
• The effects of physical and mechanical stimulation on dental implant healing
