Dr Meizi Eliezer has been appointed guest editor for a 2026 special issue of the Journal of Functional Biomaterials focused on Advanced Biomaterials for Periodontal Regeneration and Orthodontics. For PerioHome, this is best presented as an academic and professional authority update: it reflects an active editorial role in shaping clinician-facing discussion around regenerative biomaterials, periodontal healing, and interdisciplinary dental science.
Why This Matters
This role matters because it positions Dr Meizi not only as a contributing author and lecturer, but also as part of the editorial conversation that defines what themes deserve focused scientific attention.
For clinicians and researchers who follow PerioHome, the announcement is relevant for three reasons:
- It reinforces Dr Meizi Eliezer’s current research visibility in biomaterials and regenerative periodontology
- It expands her academic profile beyond publication authorship into editorial leadership
- It links PerioHome’s clinical identity with a live professional topic that sits at the intersection of periodontal regeneration and orthodontics
What the Special Issue Covers
The special issue is titled:
Advanced Biomaterials for Periodontal Regeneration and Orthodontics
This theme is closely aligned with areas already visible across Dr Meizi’s clinical and academic work:
- regenerative treatment planning in periodontology
- adjunctive biomaterials and healing modulation
- tissue preservation and reconstruction
- interdisciplinary interfaces between periodontal care and orthodontic treatment
Key Details
- Journal: Journal of Functional Biomaterials
- Role: Guest Editor
- Submission deadline: 31 August 2026
- Indexing: the promotional material identifies the journal as indexed in PubMed
- Journal metrics listed in the promotional material: Impact Factor 5.2 and CiteScore 6.8
How PerioHome Should Present This
On the PerioHome website, this update should sit in the professional and research-facing layer of the site rather than in the patient-services flow.
The clearest framing is:
- a professional note in the article library
- a homepage authority highlight linking to the full note
- a concise mention in Dr Meizi’s professional biography and research pages
That structure keeps the message clear: this is not a treatment promotion or a public event, but a research and editorial authority signal.
