Front Cover : The figure schematically depicts a bioinspired composite coating on a Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) dental screw, which consists of a covalently linked modified polysaccharide that was mineralized with Calcium phosphate. The background shows a fluorescence image of a coated PEEK‐screw after an in vivo study, highlighting a successful ingrowth of the implant into the surrounding bone. This is reported by Jennifer Knaus, Dietmar Schaffarczyk, and Helmut Cölfen in article 1900239.
