Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) is a branch of modern surgery that utilizes advanced computer technologies to assist physicians in planning, simulating, and executing complex surgical procedures involving the maxillofacial region of the face. Using highly specialized software and imaging tools, surgeons can obtain detailed 3D images of a patient's craniofacial area before the surgery. These images allow for more precise surgical planning, enabling surgeons to perform procedures with greater accuracy and fewer complications.
The Special Issue "Computer-Assisted Maxillofacial Surgery" welcomes research on the planning, preparation, and execution of surgical interventions for a range of conditions affecting the head, neck, and oral cavity. These may include reconstructive surgeries following trauma, tumor removal surgery, facial deformity correction, and dental implant placement.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
