Diagnosis and Management in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
This special issue belongs to the section "Clinical Diagnosis and Prognosis".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled “Diagnosis and Management in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery” aims to highlight recent advancements in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of conditions affecting the head and neck region. This collection aims to present innovative diagnostic methodologies, including artificial intelligence-assisted imaging, molecular diagnostics, and 3D visualization techniques, that enhance accuracy in detecting pathologies such as maxillofacial trauma, temporomandibular disorders, oral malignancies, and congenital disorders. Furthermore, this issue will cover innovative management strategies ranging from minimally invasive procedures to complex reconstructive techniques utilizing patient-specific implants, 3D printing, and virtual surgical planning. Emphasis will be placed on integrating interdisciplinary approaches, including regenerative medicine and advanced biomaterials, to optimize functional and esthetic outcomes.
By bringing together expertise from various subspecialties, this Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on how modern diagnostics and tailored management strategies improve patient care in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
