Art and Science in Facial, Orthognathic and Maxillofacial Surgery
This special issue belongs to the section “Biomedical Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Maxillofacial surgery plays a significant role in reconstruction and enhancement of the human face. Facial appearance is an integral part of one’s identity, and their ability to display emotion, communicate, sleep, and eat. Numerous surgical techniques and skills are required to cope with the challenging task of restoring and manipulating highly complex anatomical deformities of the face and facial skeleton. This issue will highlight current practices and advances in soft and hard tissue reconstruction in the maxillofacial region and discuss advances in orthognathic and plastic surgery, as well as tissue regeneration research, with significant implications for the future of facial and maxillofacial surgery.
Dr. Dror Michael Allon
