Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment Plan for Orthodontic and Oro-Facial Rehabilitations

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous investigation into dental technology has significantly impacted the traditional clinical workflow related to the diagnosis and formulation of treatment strategies. In this context, recently developed technologies and equipment have been introduced to enhance the diagnostic process, especially in the fields of orthodontics and oro-facial rehabilitation. The present Special Issue has been tailored to address in vivo and ex vivo studies proposing and assessing innovative technologies supporting the diagnosis and treatment plan strategies for orthodontic and oral rehabilitation treatments. This encompasses digital equipment, CAD/CAM technologies, robotics, artificial intelligence, intraoral and facial scans, and modern radiology, designed for functional and aesthetic facial and dental rehabilitations. We invite interventional studies that seek to advance current knowledge on novel techniques and advances in orthodontics. Studies employing innovative approaches or presenting new information will receive higher priority. Reviews, including those utilizing conceptual frameworks related to any of the aforementioned topics, are also highly encouraged.
