From Childhood to Adulthood: New Trends in Multidisciplinary Orthodontics

Dear Colleagues,

We are all called upon to keep up with the developments that are occurring simultaneously in dentistry. New technologies, as well as digital devices, are available to enhance the effectiveness of the diagnostic process and increase the spectrum of detectable pathologies, dimorphisms, and dysfunctions in the orofacial region, as well as to the new clinical approach to comprehensive dental care, and oral microbiome.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide the available evidence-based data of innovative advances and knowledge in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies in the orofacial field from childhood to adulthood. Orthopedic treatments, maxillofacial surgery or otolaryngology procedures to manage craniofacial malformations and head and neck disorders are well accepted as well as sleep apnea syndrome treatment.

In this regard, clinical and research studies are welcome. Case reports, communication, and reviews including studies involving the aforementioned topics will also be welcome.

We hope that the combination of research and clinical reviews will contribute to enhancing our readers’ knowledge and advancing the field.
