Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in oral and maxillofacial surgery have been accelerated by progress in diagnostic imaging, molecular and pathological assessment, digital technologies, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. These innovations have enhanced diagnostic accuracy, optimized treatment planning, and improved functional and oncologic outcomes for patients with oral cancer, congenital deformities, maxillofacial trauma, and inflammatory or infectious diseases.
This Special Issue aims to highlight innovative diagnostic approaches and their impact on clinical management in oral and maxillofacial surgery. This topic is fully aligned with the journal’s aims and scope by focusing on the development, validation, and clinical translation of diagnostic methods, rather than purely technical surgical procedures, ensuring a well-defined and balanced scope.
Suggested themes include advanced diagnostic modalities, computer-assisted surgery, innovations in oncologic and reconstructive procedures, perioperative management, and outcome evaluation. Original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical studies, and selected case series are encouraged.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Kenji Yamagata
Guest Editor
